Flynn to plead guilty to lying to fbi

[Oerets]

So is Flynn under any threats of loosing his retirement benefits?

Could this be also used as leverage?

According to the Hiss Act, as amended in 1961, only convictions (after retirement) for "crimes of national security." Therefore, retirement pay could continue.

That being said, military retirees are still subject to the UCMJ. There is the possibility that he could be reactivated and charged under the UCMJ in order to stop his retirement.

General Flynn served in the US Military for 33 years and then retired in 2014.
That is in the past and should be set aside in my opinion.

More of a reason for him to be prosecuted. He just forgot what country he served and is drawing a pension from!
