Lt. Gen Michael Flynn, Pushed Clinton Conspiracy Theories - Sex Crimes w/Children, Money Laundering

[spanone]

WASHINGTON — Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice for national security adviser, has a well-established penchant for pushing conspiracy theories about Islamic law spreading in the West and the attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. Less well noticed was his willingness throughout the presidential campaign to indulge in conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton.

Six days before the election, Mr. Flynn, the former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, tweeted a fake news story that claimed the police and prosecutors in New York had found evidence linking Mrs. Clinton and much of her senior campaign staff to pedophilia, money laundering, perjury and other felonies. “U decide,” Mr. Flynn wrote in the Twitter message on Nov. 2, though it appeared there was little doubt what he thought.

Mr. Flynn’s month-old tweet is attracting renewed attention after a man fired a rifle on Sunday inside a Washington pizza restaurant that was the subject of false stories during the campaign tying it and the Clinton campaign to a child sex trafficking ring.

The man, Edgar M. Welch, 28, of Salisbury, N.C., told the police that he had come to the restaurant, Comet Ping Pong, in northwest Washington, to “self-investigate” the sex trafficking hoax, which is being called Pizzagate. No one was hurt, and Mr. Welch was arrested at the scene.

8. My friends at DIA

--say that Flynn was a personal and professional nightmare. An entire separate chain of authority was created in the agency just to be able to get around Flynn. No one, not even senior career officials, could get along with him.

This is not going to work. The man is a dangerous lunatic.
