Michael Flynn Allegedly Received $200,000 in Undisclosed Secret Payments

Michael Flynn, the former general and former Trump advisor who thinks companies may be putting the Covid vaccine in salad dressing, allegedly received a total of $200,000 in undisclosed secret payments in 2014 and 2015 for consulting he did on a plan to build 40 nuclear power plants in the Middle East, the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad reported.

The nuclear power plan, which never came to fruition, would have involved companies from the U.S., French, Canada and Russia constructing and managing nuclear plants in Arab nations. According to SpyTalk, a site run by national security reporter Jeff Stein, the paper reported that an audit of a Dutch company specializing in transport revealed the payment to Flynn.

Flynn came to the White House as Donald Trump’s national security advisor in early 2017 but quickly resigned in disgrace after lying to the FBI about his interactions with the then-Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak as well as his work as a lobbyist and consultant to Turkey’s government. Robert Mueller’s team filed charges against Flynn, and he pled guilty to making false statements to the FBI regarding his work for Turkey and contacts with Russia while he served as a campaign advisor to Trump in 2016. Trump later issued Flynn a full and unconditional pardon in November 2020.

NRC reported that the $200,000 in payments to Flynn came from a U.S. firm connected to the project, ACU Strategic Partners, which paid him using money it received from Mammoet, according to internal Dutch and U.S. corporate documents the paper obtained.

1. How much would that be in NRA rubles?

[Midnight Writer]

2. Flynn was on the phone with Kislyak while he was at Trump's inauguration.

3. That's the going price to sell your country out?

He is certainly a cheap date. My integrity would cost at least $100 million.

4. If TFG gets convicted of crimes, can we nullify the pardons that he gave out

to the accomplices of those crimes?

[KPN]

5. Sounds fair to me. It really should be legitimate

in a country that abides by the rule of law or even law and order.

[StarfishSaver]

7. The rule of law doesn't permit that

Pardons are a constitutional power with few limitations and once granted, can't be revoked for any reason.

[KPN]

9. Ergo, "it really should be." I understand the law isn't

law isn’t always common sensical. No need to “educate”.

[StarfishSaver]

6. No

Pardons are unconditional.

However, if it can be proven that the pardons were issued as part of a quid pro quo, it may be possible to add that to an obstruction of justice charge.

8. Flynn texted partners about nuclear plan during inauguration, whistleblower says

House Democrats say the whistleblower approached them in June, but Mueller asked them to not to make the information public until now.

Congressional Democrats said Wednesday they have evidence from a confidential whistleblower that within minutes of President Donald Trump's inauguration, then-national security adviser Michael Flynn sent assurances to former business partners that a plan to build nuclear reactors across the Middle East was "good to go."

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said in a letter dated Wednesday that the whistleblower reported attending an Inauguration Day event with Flynn's former business associate Alex Copson, the managing partner of ACU Strategic Partners.

The whistleblower said Copson gushed that Trump's inauguration was "the best day of my life" because it meant his company's effort to create a U.S.-Russia energy partnership in the Middle East, which reportedly would have included more than two dozen nuclear plants in the region, was moving forward. Copson said Flynn was making sure Obama-era sanctions, which he claimed threatened the nuclear project, would be "ripped up," according to the whistleblower.

And the whistleblower said Copson flipped his phone around to reveal a text message he said came from Flynn describing the nuclear reactor project as "good to go." According to the account, the whistleblower didn't see the substance of the text but recalled seeing a 12:11 p.m. time stamp. At that time, Flynn was on the dais during Trump's inaugural address.

"Our committee has credible allegations that President Trump's National Security Advisor sought to manipulate the course of international nuclear policy for the financial gain of his former business partners," Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said in the letter to Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.). "These grave allegations compel a full, credible, and bipartisan congressional investigation."
