Regarding Flynn.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Flynn
As you can see for yourself after reading the Wiki article on Flynn, that he led a very sheltered and austere life. Michael Flynn, bless his heart, did not know that it wasn't OK to lie.
[Actually, the District Court Judge was outraged at the suggestion of Flynn's lawyers that he could have been duped by the FBI. That outrage is, apparently, what led Flynn's lawyers to ask that sentencing be delayed. It would seem that it was a mistake for Flynn's lawyers to assume that Judge Sullivan was a moron.]
