Mike Flynn . . . once retweeted a false claim that United Nations Agenda 21 would create a one world church prohibiting Christianity, and that Hillary Clinton was involved in a pedophilia ring.

In early November, the military veteran shared a story he deemed a “must read” that accused Clinton of being involved in “child exploitation” and “sex crimes with minors;” later he shared a story that alleged John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign manager, participated in occult rituals—a conspiracy theory that later evolved online into #pizzagate, when a lone gunman open fired at Comet Ping Pong, a Washington, D.C., pizzeria that is at the center of a bizarre Internet conspiracy theory allegedly involving the Clinton campaign and a child sex trafficking ring.

Flynn was so well-known for sharing unsubstantiated stories, while running the Defense Intelligence Agency, that his subordinates “came up with a name for the phenomenon: They called them ‘Flynn Facts.’”

I have just two questions for Ly’in Kelly:

  1. If Flynn was “innocent” why did he resign (and upon who’s urging?)
  2. If Flynn was “NOT Innocent” how did he get vetted and why was this behavior either missed or ignored?

I think you left out the “Anti-Prophet” Bill Kristol.

The Orange Asshole Speaks.

Its not just Washington, President Moron. Its your messed up White House. That’s what happens then you hire a den of thieves. Its instinctual. That’s what you call survival of the fittest, which you’ve encouraged. If that means having to destroy one another because they’ve been pitted against each other by your magnificent malevolence…they’re more than willing to live up to your expectations. That’s also what happens when you surround yourself with lackeys, sycophants and yes-men.

So… Flynn dealing with the Russians is not a story, per Trump.

I’m sorta fond of the source material, so I always enjoy a spoof.

Yes, it’s ham-fisted slight-of-hand…one-card Monty, if you will. Cupcakes don’t eat themselves.

That about sums it up. Dense doesn’t come close to what’s wrong with his statement.

Mike Flynn’s conspiratorial mindset, it seems, runs in the family. His son, Mike Flynn Jr., has also faced an onslaught of scrutiny in the days since the incident at Comet Ping Pong for promoting the hoax story. Hours after the shooting, he tweeted, “Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it’ll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many ‘coincidences’ tied to it.” (Flynn Jr. has previously appeared in Facebook and Twitter photos proudly sporting an InfoWars shirt.)

The Trump team had requested a security clearance for the national security adviser’s son, prior to his dismissal. His long history of sharing fake news stories online—like that Clinton aide Huma Abedin is a Muslim Brotherhood agent and that Marco Rubio is a closeted homosexual— apparently wasn’t considered a problem. It certainly wasn’t for his father.

Trump says the problem is “leaks coming out of Washington”, he doesn’t say they are coming from his administration. I am sure some leaks are from his administration, but surely Trump knows he pissed off the intel community and they have ways to make his life miserable. And Josh says there “is more to come”.

Ouch. Where’s the chunky lash lengthener, KAC? Not a morning person, I guess.

His surrogate Higbie was beating this drum on the morning MSNBC talkie. Hot Brit and black gman were all over his ass. Hot Brit ran with Putins bag man in mar a Lago three times TrUmps been in the same. Stephanie had to jump in to say this was unconfirmed. Black gman, who is Nance, tore Higbie an extra hole that trump doesn’t need trump loyals in the White House, he needs people loyal to the constitution.

Not a month in and there’s already been several scandals. Say what you will about Nixon, the guy was at least intelligent and surrounded himself with intelligent people. In spite of everyone in Trump’s circle being manipulative, they’re not smart at all. I’d hate so see what the coming leaks are going to show.
