Michael Flynns family is suing CNN over a report showing them reciting the QAnon oath.
The Flynns' defence is that they were reciting a family motto that just happens to be identical to the QAnon oath.

The family of disgraced former national security adviser and current QAnon influencer Michael Flynn says that a video of them taking a QAnon oath is in fact just part of a simple Flynn family tradition.
That is the claim being made by Flynns brother and sister-in-law, Jack Flynn and Leslie Flynn, in a new court filing related to the couples $75 million defamation lawsuit against CNN.
The lawsuit relates to a CNN report from Feb. 4 that features a two-second clip of a video posted to Twitter by Michael Flynn on July 4, 2020, showing him and his family all reciting an oath of allegiance that includes the phrase Where we go one, we go all.
While some QAnon believers claim the phrase is taken from an inscription on a boat owned by former President John F. Kennedy, the reality is that its simply a phrase from the 1990s sailing movie White Squall that was subsequently co-opted by the QAnon movement.
