New Flynn bombshell: in November, while he had security clearance, he took money
to do work for a Russian company involved in military aviation, a company which had just been terminated by the Pentagon -- for an unspecified cause. And the subsequent FOIA request the company submitted was heavily redacted.
With Flynn's security clearance he could have obtained information for them that the Pentagon was deliberately withholding.

According to a Pentagon-issue document obtained by IntelligenceOnline.fr in November 2016, at some point in 2015, USTRANSCOM, Pentagon’s transportation procurement arm, suddenly annulled all of its contractual relationships with Volga-Dnepr. Volga-Dnepr initiated a FOIA suit in order to obtain information on the reason for such termination. To achieve that, it hired Squire Patton Boggs, the US law and lobbying firm that represents other Russian companies, such as Gazprombank, in their quest to get past the US sanctions. The Pentagon was in a pickle: under US FOIA law, it had to provide information in its reasoning and decision-making process in dismissing a procurement relationship; yet this was not an ordinary supplier, but a Russian arms speditioner that works closely with the Russian government. Any information about specific reasons for terminating the agreements would likely provide information to Moscow about what the US knew about Moscow. And it’s likely that that in itself was a key motive for the FOIA request.
Anyhow, after about a year of prevarication and procrastination, USTRANSCOM furnished Volga Dnepr with a heavily redacted motivation statement. The statement referred to multiple examples of Volga-Dnepr breaching US laws and nationa-interest doctrine, but the examples themselves were fully redacted (except one). The headings above each example, however, were telling: Subcontractor activities Counter to US Interests, Support to anti-US Regimes, Weapons proliferation, etc.
The only unredacted example listed in the statement was the delivery of 2 SU-30MK fighters to Vietnam in December 2014 on account of Rosoboronexport, a sanctioned Russian state arms-export company, transacting with with which makes any US counterpart ineligible for business.
So it seems that just before or at the the time Volga-Dnepr’s contract with the Pentagon was terminated and it started its fight to get as much information divulged to it as possible by using (or abusing, depending on whether it acted purely on business interests or in collusion with the Kremlin) the US FOIA, it engaged General Flynn for something.
