Huh. Turns out Flynn was lobbying for Turkey from right after last year’s ‘coup’ until the US election — he just forgot to tell the feds. He was paid to make an anti-Fethullist film but he never made it; then he wrote an anti-Fethullist op-ed that he he didn’t get paid for. But the check wasn’t actually signed “Turkish Government,” so he didn’t know who it was from. He just decided that, in retrospect, getting paid to meet with a “group of government officials from Turkey for the purpose of understanding better the political climate in Turkey at the time” might look like, well, getting paid to meet with a group of government officials from Turkey.
