Incoming White House national security adviser Michael Flynn quietly deleted a tweet in which he shared a fake news story linking Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to sex crimes with minors, CNN reported.

"U decide - NYPD Blows Whistle on New Hillary Emails: Money Laundering, Sex Crimes w Children, etc...MUST READ!" read the tweet, which has since been deleted.

The tweet came on Nov. 2, just six days before the presidential election. It can still be viewed in the internet archive.

The tweet linked to an article in True Pundit, which falsely claimed that New York police had found evidence linking Clinton and her senior staff to crimes involving underage sex rings.The article charged that emails discovered during the investigation into Anthony Weiner uncovered evidence "to put Hillary (Clinton) and her crew away for life."

8. Fire up the Wayback Machine!

Technology caught Ollie North, Mr. Flynn. And you, sir, are no Ollie North!

3. And story uses Erik Prince as a source

I missed that at the time. Erik Prince of Blackwater "fame" whose sister is up for Secretary of Education.

4. Ah yes, Erik Prince...

...provider of the Blackwater private army that terrorized innocent Iraqis and before Prince could give testimony under subpoena, he fled the country. War crimes anyone?

[progressoid]

7. Its a circle of horribleness.

5. Interesting that the second re-tweet in the pic is from Erik Prince,

of the infamous Blackwater mercenary group and brother of Trump's designated Sec. of Education, Betsy DeVos. I hope someone will ask Erik Prince, under oath, who it was in the NYPD who leaked details of the Weiner investigation, if that was even true or just more Anti-HRC fake news.

6. Maybe his group was hired to manulipate weiner with woman & hack his messages to give to police.

He may be the Republicans 'go to' when they need something done like that.

10. Where is Flynn's tweet about Trump raping a 13 year old?

[Judi Lynn]

11. Really! His nasty tweets may have been created to distract attention away from the real sex crimes

with children we had already heard earlier.

I definitely think you've hit on his motivation.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, and a colleague called upon the nation’s law enforcement and personnel management executives to review whether President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be national security adviser should have a top secret clearance.

Shaheen and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., wrote to the FBI director, White House director of personnel management and director of national intelligence questioning whether Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn should have this exclusive access to U.S. secrets given claims that Flynn leaked documents and owns a private intelligence company that has built-in conflicts of interest to his upcoming job.

“Based on public reports, his conduct in positions that require access to national defense information, and his subsequent private practice, appears inconsistent with the professionalism such access requires,” Shaheen and Blumenthal wrote.

“General Flynn reportedly has a record of mishandling classified intelligence and repeatedly violated rules for protecting sensitive information.”
