Did Michael Flynn Jr. just reveal something very, very important about the Russia investigation?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Monday morning, Michael Flynn Jr., the son of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, tweeted something very, well ... interesting.

"American Patriot @GenFlynn did not lie to Pence (or anyone else in the admin) about his perfectly legal and appropriate conversations w Russian AMB Kislyak in Dec 2016," Flynn Jr. tweeted. "Why would a highly decorated military intel officer lie about something legal? Been a MSM lie from day 1."

So just to be clear, what Flynn Jr. is alleging is that his dad never lied to Vice President Mike Pence (or anyone else!) about his interactions with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.


That runs directly counter to Pence's version of events. Pence said Flynn did not tell the truth when the two talked about interactions with Kisylak. "I was disappointed to learn that ... the facts that had been conveyed to me by Gen. Flynn were inaccurate," Pence said a week after Flynn's firing.

That tweet also contradicts the explanation offered by Trump for firing Flynn in the first place.

"I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI," Trump said via Twitter in December 2017. "He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!" (It was later revealed that Trump attorney John Dowd wrote the actual tweet.)

1. Documents show...

that Pence knew about Flynn’s work for Turkey during the transition, and possibly before. Junior’s revelation is consistent with earlier disclosures.

4. Still

That's a little different than people close to the principals openly blabbing about these things on Twitter.

2. Trump only fired Flynn because

he was backed into a corner. I hope Mueller took note and starts to question Pence's truthfulness too.

3. Keep tweeting, idiot! :) n/t

5. Yes, I caught that, too.

This whole cabal is losing track of what was said that shouldn't have been, and what revelations point out who actually who knew what and when.

14. "Oh what a tangled web we weave ..."

has never been more fitting as at this very real life moment.

6. I really really hope Pence gets caught up in all this.

He's been too quiet trying to hide from the chaos.

10. Notice how quiet Priebus is during all this too. McCONnell only speaks to block protecting Mueller.

I think McCONnell and Priebus are complicit.

13. I think so too.

I hope they are in fact...maybe they will land in a cell too!

7. YES

8. Just put Junior on the stand under oath.

He'll take down everyone, including himself

[Major Nikon]

9. So Pence said Flynn lied, Trump said Flynn lied, and Flynn said Flynn lied...

But Jr says the story about Flynn lying is fake news.

11. Flynn Jr. is a complete idiot.

He really, really should be deposed. He'll implicate himself and his father in the Lindbergh kidnapping, given half a chance.

[Roy Rolling]

12. He's Saying His Dad is a Liar

...dad's a liar when he admitted to being a liar.

[BobTheSubgenius]

15. That sounds like an element of a logic puzzle.

I hope I like the answer to it.
