How were they to know Flynn was with the Russians too? The sh*t has hit the MAGAt fan over registered foreign agent Mike

Some of Donald Trump's most loyal online supporters are pushing back against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser, after a report revealed he has registered as a foreign agent for a Bosnian Serb entity led by one of Vladimir Putin's closest European allies.

Scott McMahan, a conservative journalist who writes under the handle BiggerTruth and first reported the story roughly a month ago, confirmed Monday that Flynn has filed paperwork with the Justice Department's Foreign Agent Registration Act database on behalf of the Republic of Srpska, the Serb-dominated entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. The entity is led by Milorad Dodik, a Bosnian Serb politician widely described as Putin's most vocal ally in the Balkans. According to McMahan's reporting, Flynn is being paid $100,000 per month.

Catturd, the anonymous conservative social media personality with millions of followers and one of the MAGA movement's most recognizable voices, reacted with two words: "$100,000 per month?"

ebastian Gorka, the Hungarian-American who serves as Trump's Senior Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council, took a more pointed approach. "When I joined the first Trump Administration, I was asked to sign two documents," he wrote. "In one I promised to not work as a lobbyist for a decade. In the second, I promised to never work for another government. I was happy to sign both. I presume GEN Flynn also signed similar documents."

prosecution for the federal investigation into his ties to Russia and the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his interactions with the Russians, but he received a presidential pardon from Trump in 2020. Now Flynn registers as a foreign agent. Incredible!

This is old news that Mike is traitor to the US and should have been stripped of his rank and thrown into the stockade to await the firing squad. I wouldn't even waste a cigarette on him.

and unexplained deposits to his bank accounts. And, he was photographed sitting at a table with Putin and Jill Stein. He was compromised and violated SAEDA (Security and Espionage Directed against the Army) protocol by not reporting his Russia contacts.

The fact that he now runs training sessions in FL combining military indoctrination and radical Christian Nationalism.

The fact that Russia had Flynn compromised enough to pay him for something and have him attend a meeting with Putin tells me that they had something else on him first.
