Did Mike Flynn just throw Steve Bannon under the bus?
By NewsHound Ellen November 14, 2021
On Friday night, Mike Flynn had a friendly chat with fellow seditionist Tucker Carlson about the subpoena recently issued by the House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection. Earlier in the day, Steve Bannon had been indicted for refusing to comply.
Flynn told Carlson, In my case, were gonna respond to the request. I mean, I dont have anything to hide.
Was Flynn implying that maybe Bannon does have something to hide? I report, you decide.
Regardless, Flynn was no casual bystander to January 6th. As Rolling Stone noted, hes an election conspiracy theorist who suggested Donald Trump seize the voting machines and use military capabilities in order to rerun the election in some states. He also floated the notion that martial law might be appropriate.
Even worse, Flynn promoted the GOP/QAnon/Fox gaslighting of January 6th as a peaceful protest by patriots being persecuted by the Deep State. Carlson ate it up.
FLYNN: Theres nothing, theres nothing there and I think that what were facing is a clear assault on our basic rights and principally, our freedom to speak freely in this country and to peaceably protest for things that we believe are false or fraudulent.
CARLSON: Exactly.
CARLSON: Exactly.

AKA a lying weasel.

Well, perhaps he's been very careful since November 25, 2020, when the former guy pardoned him for all his federal crimes.

(47,418 posts)6. He is so deranged
that he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the things he has said or done. He was just being a "patriot".

(13,903 posts)8. Big talk for the benefit of the cultists, as soon as he is under oath,
it will be "I don't recall" and pleading the 5th.
