Now, I understand the misgiving many people have about being happy the spies took down Flynn. Aren't these the folks that found nukes were there mere none? Aren't these the folks that spied on many an activist?
Yes, and truth be told, our intelligence community has been riding too wild for a half century, being a bastion of fascism. However, in the case of Flynn, the person targeted was a member of that intelligence community, or at the very least, someone with power over them. This was a rare, but clear case, where spies policed their own, especially as Comey of the FBI has still not been called to account for his actions.
Yes, spies are scary, but this was a rare case where they directed that power at someone who, by the nature of his power, and the abuses of that power, was a threat to the world, especially the muslims he wanted togo to war with. Flynn was no civilian.
