Was Flynn framed when he lied to VP Pence, and Trump fired him for it? What did he lie to VP Pence about again....?

Judge, after noting Flynn lied and acted as an unregistered foreign agent (for Turkey): "Arguably, that undermines everything that this flag over here stands for. Arguably, you sold your country out."

The judge asked prosecutor Brandon Van Grack if Flynn could have been charged with treason for his convos with the Russian ambassador. Van Grack said that in terms of the evidence, that wasn't something the govt was considering charging at the time
It seems that the judge may have been inspired by a misunderstanding of Flynn’s contacts with Turkey, which Flynn had also lied about. Sullivan said that Flynn had acted “an unregistered agent of a foreign country, while serving as the national security adviser to the president of the United States.”

Yes, I am well aware of the entire thing unfortunately. I believe there had to be more than just protecting his son,
in that this is a very common tactic used by lawyers to pressure people into pleading.
Flynn had to know he was being railroaded with what they had and determined that he was not going to be able to prove it until a later time, so he pled and continued legally challenging.
And here we are.
BTW Flynn is shady as the rest of them but in this he is exonerated.

The accusations get tossed around quite a bit by the right too.
Like I said, there is nothing, at this point, stopping the AG from throwing the book at Flynn. All over again.

I think you should look up the definition of "lying", because that's not what I did. I said that Flynn's crime "bordered on treason". It does. He lied to the President of the United States, and his VP about being a foreign agent, paid by Turkey, and that he and his son were involved in a kidnapping scheme of an American resident on their behalf.

Pence recently said that he doesn't believe that Flynn lied to him now.
