Michael Flynn spent more of his time as a general working in the employ of foreign powers than upholding the constitution, as he swore to do. That’s pretty much a no brainer. He was one of the very first to wash out of Donald Trump’s creme de la corrupt regime, when the administration was barely a month old. The only reason Flynn is loose now is because Trump pardoned him.

Flynn made a statement a short while ago on right-wing social media. Take a look at it and see if you think it’s innocent and rhetorical or if there’s a veiled threat contained therein.

Now, as the person sharing this information points out, Ron Filipkowski, Flynn only makes sense when you take whatever he says in the context of what he has said and done before.

This was the handwriting on the wall in neon that forces within the right wing were not going to allow a peaceful transition.

Michael Flynn is an ominous presence. I don’t know why a man like this is collecting a pension when he is so obviously working to undermine the foundations of this republic rather than strengthen them.

I don’t think it’s conspiracy theory or paranoia to assume that a second insurrection(s) must be in the offing. My reasoning is that we are moving along towards mid-August and Mike Lindell’s cyber symposium and that will provide a climactic finish to the Big Lie. If the Big Lie is to persist beyond that point, some new mechanism has to be devised, because Lindell is almost out of gas. The Arizona audit is sputtering to a halt and no other audits in other states are going to happen, at this point. Arizona was such a colossal bomb that audits in other states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania can’t gain any traction.

So where is all that hype and nervous energy going to go? I have no idea. But I bet Michael Flynn has quite a few. As long as the donations are pouring into Trump and cabal, fueled by stolen election mania, there’s no way they’ll going to let up on the throttle.

Get ready for either a plot twist or an escalation of some sort. It’s too vague at this time to conjecture what the wingnuts might do next, but let the adage “follow the money” be your guide.

And don’t lose sight of the fact that Flynn’s compatriots Sidney Powell and Lin Wood are hip deep in legal trouble these days, not to mention Rudy. These may all be factors.

Bear in mind that as shocking as January 6 was, it was certainly foreseeable. Trump wasn’t going to allow a peaceful transition, he was going to crucify Mike Pence first. And he did. So whatever Flynn does will be consistent with the threads of reality that we see developing on the front pages day to day. There will be some kind of a conflict before the stolen election fantasy is let go of.

  1. Several of the “audit” accounts on Twitter have been shut down. That will help – and so will shutting down more of the people pushing the Big Lie.

  2. However crazy he became (which got worse with each year of Trump’s entry into politics) bear in mind that for much of his career he was a good Officer. Somewhere he went off the rails – signs of trouble were evident after President Obama named him to head up the DIA and Flynn was ultimately forced out, resigning about a year before (ostensibly) he was going to retire. Once he became head of DIA there were definitely issues, and worries about his relationship with high ranking Russian military officials. No wonder Obama’s team grew alarmed! I rather suspect that Flynn had hoped for that fourth star on his shoulder and realized he’d blown it. It makes sense he’d resent not attaining what every Officer who rises as far as he did might realistically see as their “due.” The problem is what he did, both to cause his being forced into retirement before he wanted, and afterwards.

    My point is that crazy as he is he also proved quite capable over several decades. THAT makes someone like him, who surely is close with the Erik Prince types more than a little dangerous. He long ago passed resentment into outright anger and a desire for payback against people and a system he believes wronged him. It doesn’t matter that he’s full of shit on that – that his own actions and chaotic style he displayed as head of DIA is what torpedoed his career. He brought it on himself but blames everyone else – because of his increasingly maniacal certainty that HE knew better than everyone else.

    He belongs in prison. Where he can do the least amount of damage because all of his communications would be monitored. If it’s at all possible (hopefully a real lawyer in the Counsel’s Office didn’t draft it) his pardon allows for prosecution of things that weren’t in the plea deal for the one crime he was actually charged with. If so then I think Garland has been on the job long enough, and has gotten enough of his own team up to speed to haul Flynn’s ass right back in to court. I’m not a lawyer but I’m certain that by rejecting the original plea deal and filing to have it overturned he brought EVERY crime and every bit of evidence including his own statements about what he did into play for prosecutors.

    Lock HIM up. The sooner the better.

    • His staff were complaining to higher-ups about his demands and his wild-*ss theories. He was off the rails by the time he was DIA head, but it hadn’t yet become obvious to those higher-ups. (There’s no guarantee that you’ll keep getting promoted after you get one star. Flynn probably shouldn’t have gotten even two.)
