Former Trump adviser Michael Flynn on Wednesday lost his lawsuit against the House Jan. 6 select committee over its subpoena for his phone records that compelled him to testify and to produce documents — a day after Flynn filed his motion in federal court in Florida.

No. Full stop. He did not lose the lawsuit. He lost a hail mary attempt to get a pre-emptive win using an ex parte (the opposing party doesn’t even get to say their piece) temporary restraining order. Those are almost never granted. The lawsuit marches on, at the regular pace. And since the request for the TRO was dismissed without prejudice, he can even re-file that request, perhaps this time with an actual deadline date in it.

Flynn lost nothing today except some cash to his attorneys, and I doubt he’s paying out of his own pocket.

This General loses often. Good thing he doesn’t have a command. It’s kinda sobering knowing he once did.

Q is made for people like Flynn. They may lose each skirmish, but in their minds there is still a “long game” in which unseen powerful forces are going to make sure that he wins in the end. (Which is fine with me, as long as my lifetime he is punished and not allowed near power again!)

Shame that Trumpf’s plane is mothballed and Epstein’s is unavailable.
No midnight flit for you, Mickey Flynn.

OT, but hope the beard, I mean wife, soaks the SOB for every grifted penny he’s got…

Now comes the announcement that he’s not retiring to not spend more with his family.

Well, I guess when BLM and Antifa get together to break up a marriage, there’s nothing they can’t do!

There’s likely a communist under every bed. In fact, I have in my hand a folder with many, many names. Many names.

The judge concluded that “there is no basis to conclude that Flynn will face immediate and irreparable harm.”

…unless he testifies truthfully. Then he’s screwed.

The dress code of Congress doesn’t allow him to wear the green hat.

Wow. Just wait to see the lawsuit and request for TRO when the Committee demands the phone records of Flynn’s brother.

Let the forum shopping begin.
