Before Trump took office, Flynn reportedly raised the idea of surreptitiously extraditing Gulen to Turkey — in essence, kidnapping him. “But he was very keen on the bank case,” Graham added. “You know the one involving the Turkish bank? He mentioned that twice.”The “bank case” is a criminal case centered on a Turkish state bank, Halkbank, which was allegedly one of the conduits for the sanctions-evasion scheme. It’s only after having spoken with Trump that the bank case comes up, and it’s the only new issue introduced by Graham in the second call.
