Flynn Won't Testify to the Senate

Ousted White House National Security adviser Michael Flynn will apparently not be testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee anytime soon about Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, the panel’s chairman, said Flynn’s lawyer told him that the retired army general, whom President Donald Trump fired in February, would not honor the committee’s subpoena to produce documents related to the Russia investigation.
That's probably the smartest thing that Flynn has done in years. He may be at risk for treason, for interfering with the planning of a military operation while being paid by a foreign power.

Which would make him the first general officer to commit treason since the Revolutionary War.

    Latest word seems to be that he hasn't refused: just hasn't replied yet.
