Ya know, Flynn is a particular case. He has admitted to doing all the offenses he is accused of and the SCO and other entities do have the evidence to back up the charges. Flynn was fully aware his actions were possibly violations of Federal law; on at least two occasions, Flynn expressed his qualms to the Trump administration, once some time before before his appointment as Trump's NSA, and, again, at the time of his appointment; neither trump nor his minions expressed any interest in pursuing any investigation of those concerns (way to do "due diligence", Benedict Donald) and Flynn was left open to further legal problems. I'd say the TRump White House bears some responsibility...
Flynn did man up and own his own failings and has tried to set right what he's done. The animus Trump, his minions and the Trumpettes hols toward Flynn is all because Flynn did what a hell of a lot of others involved should so: accept responsibility and try to set things right. They aren't mad at Flynn because they consider him a 'traitor' to Trump (why anyone would hold loyalty towards one of the most disloyal persons ever is beyond me), they are angry because they know they have participated in a series of criminal wrongs, have been caught and are going to suffer for it. Flynn knows a lot about their transgressions and how they link together and that terrifies them. Its kind of like a guy who gets pulled over for speeding and rails at the cop writing the ticket saying cops should have better things to do and how its a waste of time and money; they aren't really angry, at the heart of it, because they are really concerned with use of LEO resources, or the cost, or even the time spent; the are angry because they know they actually broke the law and, most at the heart of it, they are really angry they got caught...
Flynn, other than his misadventures in government, has had a respectable career. He has manned-up, put on his big boy pants, and has admitted to and is taking responsibility for his actions. If the leeches that have attached themselves to Trump and Trump himself don't seem to understand that, then they deserve what's about to come down on them. Flynn, as an individual, is more basically honorable than the whole lot of Trump, his minions, and his Trumpettes combined...
Flynn has done serious illegalities, but he is trying to do right. He's going to have to live with the repercussions, but he hasn't let that keep him from giving up the last of his honor and dignity in defense of one who is as dishonorable and undignified as they come...
