Peters on Flynn: Russians Will Make You Look Dirty Even if You Aren’t

EXCERPT:

PETERS: "He just worked his way up the hard way through excellence and did terrific work in Afghanistan and Iraq. I mean, really a model soldier. But when he was pushed out as the head of DIA, something seems to have changed in Mike, whether he grew bitter or whatever, and he made the inexcusable mistake of taking Russian funding to go to Moscow to the RT banquet, sit with Putin. And I will tell you, Shannon, there is no way to engage the Russians like that and not get dirty. Because even if you aren’t dirty they’ll make you look dirty. They are masters at it. I could never understand why Mike would expose himself like that. It cast the shadow over the phone calls to Russian ambassador Kisolyak and everything else. We should not lose sight of how well Mike served this country for a very long time. But I think he was, intentionally or not, compromised by the Russian connection."
