Moscow "Misha" Mike Flynn opens new consulting firm

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Embattled former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has opened a new consulting firm called Resilient Patriot, LLC that is advising private equity firms, according to one of his brothers, who says Flynn is “moving on with his life.”

Joe Flynn said his family also is in the early stages of starting a fund to pay for the legal bills his brother is racking up as he sits at the center of multiple probes into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Mike’s not a millionaire, not even close,” Joe Flynn told The Associated Press this week. “This situation has put him in a tough spot financially. This is going to cost him a lot of money.”

“There’s a lot of people that are big fans of his across the country,” he added.

take a hike; has a lawyer; the brother said "he's going to need money" (for his lawyer fees, I'm guessing)...but boy, I assumed he was just hiding out in someone's closet these last couple of months...

It simply can't be "over" for him, but I sure was shocked to see him "open for business" with a new consulting firm, wow -

Someone might find him useful despite the risks if he can get out of this mess.
