Picture of Putin Puppet General Michael Flynn sitting next to Putin (and Jill Stein)



Michael Flynn
The ex-general paid to attend a Moscow banquet
Michael Flynn, a former head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, was named as a national security adviser by the Trump campaign and was also considered as a presidential running mate. Like Trump, Flynn has argued for closer links with Russia. In interviews, Flynn acknowledged being paid to give a speech and attend a lavish anniversary party for the state-controlled RT television network in Moscow, where he sat next to President Putin.

Look who goes out of his way to defend and not offend his Russian masters:

9. I first heard about him about a year ago, when he made a splash on conspiracy sites

because he gave an interview on Al Jazeera, saying Obama purposefully let ISIS develop, and helped them.

This is where Trump got that Obama is the founder of ISIS crap.

Flynn is a little kooky, to say the least.

17. Barry McCaffrey on Michael Flynn:

Nov 2016
“Mike Flynn is the best intelligence officer of his generation, and he and Stan McChrystal are the principle reason we have not suffered a half-dozen 9/11-type attacks since 2001,” he wrote in an email to the author. “Mike has an informed viewpoint, he’s honest and brutally frank, and he’s given a huge chunk of his life to this war against terrorists that has claimed tens of thousands of U.S. killed and wounded. That makes it very personal to senior war fighters like Flynn. Mostly the Obama team has been cautious and sensible on national security, but they ignored Flynn’s input on the nature of the threat because it stepped on their narrative, and he got fired. Now Mike is filled with anger. I find the situation very sad.”

And, of course, the press never reported on it. Come on, what's to see here? We always see pics of US Generals sitting next to an enemy of the US, with a smile on his face.
