Do you honestly think that Flynn would knowingly give classified information to some half-ass dimwitted A-rab Afganys?

I don't think so.

He was compelled through intellectual solidarity.

By and by, is lil' Johnny here a troll, or is he a genuine American stereotype?

There's a stark difference between knowing and not knowing.
How come you don't afford Secretary Clinton the same benefit of the doubt you give General Flynn?

Hillary Clinton also used the department’s secure email system for transmitting classified information, but the FBI found that some of the regular communications with her staff on the personal server involved facts and details that she should have known were classified. In a few cases, the emails bore markings to indicate they contained classified information.

However, investigators did not find evidence she knowingly or intentionally disclosed government secrets or that she exposed secrets through gross negligence. Clinton’s apparent interest was in maintaining her privacy.

He shared classified information with allies in the region, it was deemed as "no actual or potential damage to national security as a result". Fact of the matter is he likely used his judgment in providing the information to make sure no greater harm came to American troops if the allied operations potentially could have interfered.

This is the sign of a go-getter and somebody who understands what needs to be done in the bigger picture. Not somebody who can't operate a secure fax machine or computer and / or putting in a FOIA shield to protect her pay for play scheme.

That might be believable IF he wasn't the same person that had the TREMENDOUS judgment to also pass on things like pizza-gate. Then you might have a case. Might.

The story demonstrates the consistency of the application of law under the Obama administration more than anything. Flynn screwed up in the handling of classified info, Clinton screwed up in the handling of classified info, neither got hanged.
Good point.

If Flynn shouldn't be confirmed, if this is true. Trump needs to find someone else for the position.

Flynn is worse for his propagating wacko conspiracy theories online. The guy is a certifiable loon whose next job should be with Alex Jones not in our government.

His tweet that everybody believes is about pizzagate is in fact not about pizza gate. Anthony Weiner was sexting underage girls. That qualifies as "sex crimes with children", per his tweet.

You do have a point in him quoting a questionable source of news, also in his tweet was spirit cooking.

Also the tweet does not discount my original point. He proved he had the aptitude to be a general in the first place. I believe that does count for something.
