Sounds like a scene straight out of the cantina scene in Star Wars, doesn’t it? Or, maybe, right out of Lucifer’s own precincts, and I can well imagine that some of the principals in all of these intertwined dramas are feeling that’s where they are right about now, especially the fine, dedicated, honorable Lt. General of the Army, Michael Flynn. His only “crime,” a word I use advisedly and only wish others had done so back in the early days of 2017, was to support the candidacy and serve the Presidency of Donald J. Trump. The other attendees at this little gathering are quite well known, although one may need a little more introduction as our social gets underway.

General Flynn’s saga, and it is truly that, in the tradition of the great tragedies of ancient times, is so well known it needs little or no fleshing out here, except to capture the highlights of recent “daffy” developments in his case from an excellent article by Andrew McCarthy. It should be noted that the adjective is from a tweet by the author describing the Judge’s “unusual” ruling, to use the most extreme, if that is the proper usage, euphemism one can use about Judge Sullivan’s refusal to simply grant the Motion to Dismiss of the Department of Justice and, instead, to open it up for the filing of briefs by probably every loony, far-left-wing group in the country, thereby inviting a spectacle resembling anything but Justice.
