The current Polish government has recently been quite trigger-happy with prosecuting media outlets and individuals for "spreading misinformation" about government activities. Sometimes it actually is misinformation, but more often it's just dissenting views. Naturally, not many of these cases actually lead to a conviction, but they're still very damaging to people's livelihoods. Combine that with the fact that the two governments aren't all that dissimilar and, welp, there's a possibility.
This is not what I asked for. I wasn't looking for a
reasonable person's evaluation.
But seriously, my own imagination has been running wild with seemingly plausible possibilities since I posed the question.
Apparently Trump is encouraging him to do this and testify.
And the Senate has said "Nope, not gonna let you"
So I'm all sorts of confused. But maybe Trump honestly believes their "I don't wanna be witch hunted" story. Or it's reverse psychology.
This isn't unusual for Trump. He always does what he doesn't think you're going to expect him to do. He thinks he's throwing his opponents off-balance (he's right sometimes, of course).
As for the Senate, idk. Some people don't think this was a serious offer. It still superficially casts Flynn in a negative light (something that can't help but damage his reputation) which seems unusual for him to do without a good reason to me.
