2-"Defense Department’s internal watchdog has concluded a long-delayed investigation into Michael Flynn, defense officials said Friday, sending its findings to the Army in a case that could bring tens of thousands of dollars in financial penalties for Trump’s first [NSA]

3-"The investigation focuses on Flynn’s acceptance of money from Russian and Turkish interests before joining the Trump administration, a potential violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause.

4-"With few exceptions, U.S. officials, including retired service members like Flynn, are prohibited from accepting money or gifts from foreign governments.

5-"The inspector general’s investigation, opened in April 2017, was put on hold for more than three years amid a broader scandal that included a criminal investigation of Flynn by the Justice Department — part of what would become the [Mueller Investigation]

6-"'On January 27, 2021, we closed our investigation against LTG Flynn and forwarded several administrative matters to the Acting Secretary of the Army for review and appropriate action,” Allen’s statement said. LTG stands for lieutenant general, Flynn’s rank at retirement.

7-"Transmission of the investigation to the Army, which has not been previously reported, leaves military officials grappling with how to handle a politically polarizing officer who in recent months alarmed the Pentagon by falsely suggesting to Trump that, as commander in chief,

8-"he could declare martial law and force a “rerun” of the presidential election in swing states that went for President Biden. Such a move could have plunged the nation into an unprecedented crisis

9-"Similar investigations of Trump administration officials have been released since the former president left office. Among them was a delayed Defense Department review that found retired Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, a former White House doctor, had bullied staff,

10-"made inappropriate remarks about a female subordinate and engaged in “inappropriate conduct involving the use of alcohol” on two foreign presidential visits. Jackson, who is closely aligned with Trump, won a [GOP Cong] seat as a in Tx before the investigation was released.

11-"An Army spokeswoman, Col. Cathy Wilkinson, acknowledged that acting Army secretary John E. Whitley had received the case for review.“We do not have any additional information for you at this time,” Wilkinson said in an email on Friday" ~excerpts WaPo
