Discussion: Flynn’s New Consulting Gig Turns Into Circus Hours After Announcement

I know a clown ! In fact, I know several ! If you should need one,…

Flynn’s attorneys hurriedly issued a statement to scuttle the arrangement. “General Flynn has not joined Stonington and did not personally issue any public statement,” lawyers Robert Kelner and Stephen Anthony said Tuesday. “He was aware that a statement was being drafted, but he did not intend that it be issued at this time.”

Reading this, I realize, you are well supplied with clowns already …

How is “freedom and liberty” = developing and executing investment strategies?

It’s about time Flynn stated collecting… he has done so much for the Republican cause with little return </snark>

Wow, I’m sure anyone who retains the services of these highly competent people – many of whom have not been indicted – and their tight ship of a firm will certainly be getting their money’s worth!

From behind bars. Neat trick, that!

Developing and executing investment strategies = knowing who to bribe and influence in autocratic regimes in order to get what you want = promoting freedom and liberty. Once that middle step is included, it makes more sense. Sort of.

Another well managed and fully thought out operation.

Let us not forget that this is a counter terrorism investigation and that Flynn and his son are possible terrorists and national security threats. They were palling around with Putin and selling nuclear reactors to the same Wahabbi sunni tyrants that funded the 9-11 terrorists. These are serious crimes. They were also conspiring to kidnap and murder a naturalized American clergy on behalf of another Sunni state. If selling nuclear materiel and materials to a barbaric and tyrannical jihadi terrorist state is not terrorism, what is?

I wonder whether the Stonington Global LLC mission and areas of expertise will include murder and kidnapping services and the transfer of nuclear reactors for Sunni jihadis.

Hey, Flynn, everyone who served in the military after WWII for more than 8-12 years ipso facto served Presidents of both parties.

I want to know when Flynn will be court-martialed and stripped of not only his rank but, more so, his generous pension.

It’s happened to much lesser people for far lesser offenses.

“Freedom and liberty” are code words for going in and fucking things up so that “investment strategies” can be “executed”, i.e. stealing a bunch of money.

Watching Flynn’s career from afar , he seems like a man with a good chin who looked the part got promoted way beyond his capacity, found his staff rebelling against his stupidity, and decided to go down a conspiracy rabbit hole rather than face his own failings. I would throw in a touch of some kind of slow onset dementia.

Flynn, Jr., on the other hand is just fucking crazy.

Yes, freedom and liberty. Unless someone pays me a ton of money. It that case I’m willing to kidnap you and send you off to certain death in an autocratic nation.

Every time they say “freedom” or “liberty” we need to ask them what those words mean to them. I don’t believe they mean what these people think they mean.

In the same way that Trump laundering money by selling condominiums to Russian oligarchs is a sacrifice on par with Khizr & Ghazala Khan’s son giving his life for the US.

(I can’t believe I just linked to RedState, but even RedState knew it was utter, self-aggrandizing, bullshit.)

He’s banking on them not calling his three references.
