This doesn't have a good look. The American cuts a deal and goes free. The foreigners go to jail.

I am no fan of Erdogan, but they are part of NATO, unlike Russia.

It does sound like US foreign policy is perceived by many countries to be for sale. That isn't necessarily a way to get a strong foreign policy.

Michael Flynn associates arrested on illegal lobbying charges

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Two men involved in a Turkish lobbying campaign led by former National Security adviser Michael Flynn have been charged with illegally lobbying in a case related to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

The case unsealed Monday against Flynn's former business partner, Bijan Kian, and Turkish businessman, Ekim Alptekin, accuses the two men of conspiring to "covertly and unlawfully" influence U.S. politicians on behalf of Turkey.

The new charges appear to shed light on the cooperation of Flynn, who last year admitted to lying about several aspects of the lobbying work. In recommending he serve no prison time, prosecutors said Flynn not only helped with the Russia probe but also an undisclosed — and separate — criminal investigation. Documents filed alongside that recommendation spend several paragraphs laying out the details of Flynn's Turkish lobbying.
