Rudy in his prime I definitely agree. Unfortunately he has clearly slid though his heart’s still in the right place.

i like the guy's ideology, but he did fold under pressure and plead guilty to what later turned out to be not a crime, based entirely on a threat that his investigators had evidence they did not in fact have.

Not sure that getting faked out twice like that makes for a good resume to lead primary arm of federal law enforcement.

He was protecting his son & it's not something they can use again based on how the judge ruled everybody involved couldn't be charged as a matter of law.

I think his righteous retribution would be a scythe through the corruption.

my point was that he got played too easily and fell for complete bullshit.

Literally a case "we got evidence on you. Confess." is all it took - he didn't even bother getting them to actually demonstrate what evidence they had before he collapsed. They bluffed him with an empty hand.

I don't know for sure, but I am not hearing of any lawyers getting disbarred for incompetence, so as far as I know he threw himself at the FBI's mercy without even bothering to get a lawyer involved?

At least I never heard of him taking legal advice when he plead guilty and no lawyer in his right mind would advise a client to plead guilty to a legal charge that's literally never been used, based on alleged evidence the prosecuting side refuses to produce.

Even taking the whole 'protecting his son' thing into account, that's still a horrendously incompetent way of going about it. (and protecting from what exactly? FBI had nothing on his son either)

Maybe he is a better military general than he is in legal matters, but FBI directors should actually know their shit when it comes to criminal law, and Flynn very clearly doesn't.
