*Lieutenant General Michael Flynn

No comment on his later antics, because they, ah, rather throw his judgment into question:

He utterly beclowned himself with hilariously sloppy op-sec. From being caught planning to exfiltrate a Turkish dissident in the US to Turkey to gobbling up every Russian carrot waggled in front of him, his repeated face-plants forced even the willfully ignorant Trump administration to fire him.

That all said, I wouldn't be shocked if that is representative of our boldest, most forward-thinking intelligence agents

Crazy too how a former Secretary of State kept classified materials on a personal server or that a convicted pedophile had those classified materials on his personal laptop despite not having a security clearance for those materials.

Crazy that people like you seem to think that bringing Hillary Clinton into the conversation counts as a defense.
