There is nothing to gain from putting Flynn in the news. Other stories are more valuable to discuss. Trump manipulates media attention to keep it away from what hurts him. We shouldn’t play along with his efforts to distract us from the big story: Trump did not protect us from the virus. Any other story moves attention away from the big important story, Trump’s failure to protect us. You are falling into Trump’s trap by discussing Flynn. Forget him.
