No pete this is not a non-issue. This man was appointed by the so called president to be his National Security Advisor and would still be there in spite of his illegal behavior( that the administration knew about) if the truth as we know it so far had not been revealed to the media. No retired military person is allowed to take financial compensation from a foreign government and Flynn knew that or worse after a career in the US military he didn't know the plainly stated rules. This is all connected to the investigation into how deeply the Russians penetrated and disrupted our election system and how many of trumps appointees and top advisors were complicit in that act of war. Stay tuned pete, more is about to be revealed. It will be the Mother of all Inconvenient Truths before the investigations are half way through.
