Exclusive: The Flynns, the Riot and the Russians
It certainly looks like Mike Flynn and his son inflamed the Capitol riots. Did Charles Flynn help them?
Mike Flynn Sr Gave Interviews to Russian state actors Jan 5
Russians Discussed the National Guard Not Responding
Mike Flynn Jr Explicitly Linked His Dad and the Riot
Rioters Knew Pentagon Was Denying Guard Response
Mike Flynn Jr Railed at Trump for Condemning Rioters
He threatened the man who pardoned his father like the fate of his family depended on it
As I have previously reported, Russian-American propagandists linked to the Russian state discussed in advance the movements of the national guard and why they assumed Mayor Muriel Bowser would be unable to rely on them. I can add to that reporting in light of the Washington Post story that Mike Flynn’s brother was in the room when the National Guard was being refused, something the Army falsely denied. In this report I can explicitly link Mike Flynn Sr and Mike Flynn Jr to the lack of deployment of the National Guard and both rioters’ and Russians’ foreknowledge of the same. A separate piece will look at the proof of sedition inside the Pentagon and US Army in the dying days of Trump.
Timeline of Treason
January 4: Russian propagandist heading to Washington puts out a video called “What do you think about the National Guard or fake again?”
January 4: Separate Russian propagandist puts out a video called “National Guard Deployed in Washington” which includes the statements “we are planning a very big mess on January 6th” and argues that Mayor Muriel Bowser will not be allowed to deploy the National Guard because of Portland. He ends saying “Something really grandiose is planned on the 6th”
January 5: Flynn Jr tweets a picture of himself dressed all in black on a private plane to Washington DC with the words:
LET’S GOOOOOOOO!!! #AmericaFirst #RAISEHELL #January6th
January 5: Flynn Jr tweets a threat to black Republican Senator Tim Scott, writing “Light his ass up patriots!”
January 5: Mike Flynn Senior had an interview with the Russian visa holder and Russian state propagandist Alex Jones of Infowars. Flynn Jr tweeted an image of this with the caption “It was epic to say the least… America first.”
In the video, Flynn Sr says “the courts are not going to win this thing” and calls January 6th “1776”. Mike Flynn speaks of “patriots” and uses the language of battle:
“These people are not gonna settle for something that is a lie, they’re just not.” “Our DNA is 1776”. “The patriots that are standing out there know that we won… they are here to tell their Federally elected representatives, the members of the House and the Members of the Senate… You better follow the truth… and if you want to be on the other side of the truth then woe betide you”
January 6: Throughout the day and the preceding days, Lt. Gen Mike Flynn tweets inflammatory calls to “Fight” with hashtags #FightLikeAFlynn and #FightForTrump. He also tags in Trump social media manager Dan Scavino, @RealDonaldTrump and @POTUS: “Fight like your job depends on it”
January 6: 2:26 PM: Capitol Police Chief Sund and Mayor Bowser’s Chief of Staff call the Pentagon for help from the National Guard. The Washington Post reported:
“I am making an urgent, urgent immediate request for National Guard assistance,” Sund recalled saying. “I have got to get boots on the ground.”…Again and again, Sund said, “The situation is dire,” recalled John Falcicchio, the chief of staff for D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser. “Literally, this guy is on the phone, I mean, crying out for help. It’s burned in my memories.”
Sund and others attributed this crucial comment to Lt. Gen Piatt, according to the Post:
“I don’t like the visual of the National Guard standing a police line with the Capitol in the background”
But, in fresh reporting on January 20th, the Washington Post said that Piatt denied having made the comment and Lt. General Charles Flynn, brother of Mike Flynn, was in the room, the Army under Trump having falsely denied this for days.
The clear implication is that it is Gen. Charles Flynn who refused Chief Sund of the Capitol Police and Mayor Bowser the National Guard assistance they were expecting.
January 6th: 3:14PM: Flynn Jr tweets this approving picture of the sedition at the Capitol
(note: Twitter archive[.]is timestamps are 3 hours later than EST)
Jan 6th: 4:40 pm Journalist Sandi Bachom reports for Now This that the rioters were being organized and she captures on video a crucial comment from a rioter with a megaphone:
[DC Mayor Muriel Bowser called the National Guard in here to clear us out - the Pentagon told her ‘No thank you’
We have lined up Sandi’s report, below, to the crucial quote.
January 6: 9:39 PM - after Trump was reluctantly persuaded to condemn the rioters, Mike Flynn Jr, whose father had been granted an incredibly generous and broad pardon by Donald Trump, tweeted a threat to Trump on behalf of his father Lt. Gen Mike Flynn:
Hey @realDonaldTrump My father @GenFlynn stuck his neck out for u multiple times Could’ve been vindictive But knew the coup against u from day 1 wasn’t ur fault and outta ur control U still have options But if u care abt ur legacy in the SLIGHTEST, youll dig deep n FIGHT!
Mike Flynn Jr then deletes his account after Twitter bans his father’s account and suspends that of Donald Trump
January 12: The Washington Post asks the US Army whether Gen. Charles Flynn was on the call from Bowser and the Capitol Guard Police Chief and receives a lying denial:
“HE WAS NOT IN ANY OF THE MEETINGS!” one Army official said on Jan. 12 in an email to The Post.
Like several others interviewed, the official spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
January 20: The Army admits this was a lie and Gen. Charles Flynn admits to the Post he was present on the call
After being approached with the accounts of multiple officials on the call, the Army sent a statement confirming [Charles] Flynn participated.

The flynns are the bad pennies who keep turning up in the RU interference throughout trump's tenure. You have diligently provided these evidences of treason, Louise, culminating in the treason leading to 6 Jan INSURRECTION. Thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to expose the flynn sedition & treason. Healing requires accountability. THIS. IS. TREASON.
Thank you, Louise. (Forgive me, if I’m posting this comment again. Keeping kids on sched with their devise free-time...ugh.) Excellent work.
I agree with Lenn. You’ve kept us out front on so much of this dreadful war. You are greatly appreciated. Looking very much forward to more from you. Thanks again.
Now I get to end Roblox sessions with the 11 & 7 year old. Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin;)
