No wonder he was transferred out to Hawaii.
He lied. He lied and lied. Here's the evidence.

(10,075 posts)I read the memo through and this summarizes the problems of the IG report, the only thing I would add is that the IG did not even speak to anyone from the DCNG for their timelines or refuting the statements of Piatt and Flynn. The fact that these fckers thought this was not going to be made public, thought that they could lie to congress and the IG with impunity.

(16,254 posts)I would assume that would be the path to take, unless he would get favored treatment during the trial.
Looks like the Flynn family has some strong liar genes.

(9,291 posts)I wouldnt even think about talking badly about the current President when I was in the USAF.
They should be walking a plank.
How can any active duty person under them , take an order from them?
If things go back in the Ukraine, will they follow an order from a Democratic President?
Lord, I need to start drinking.

(13,571 posts)THE ARMY LIED TO PROTECT HIM.
The Army lied about his participation in Jan 6.
The rot -- how deep is it?

(9,291 posts)Thats their only job. Have a office, and office staff and tell others what to do.
Flynn also has a boss, but unless the Army put in inside a closet, someone has to listen to him and follow his orders.
Unless the military has changed so much since I served. You know, where only the people you voted for has won, then you decide whats best.

He was promoted to general Nov. 30 2020, senate confirmed. (Trump administration)
Sent to command US Army Pacific Jan 25 2021 (so, under Biden administration)
As Flynn advanced through the general officer ranks, he served as the 82nd Airborne Division's deputy commander for operations and assistant operations officer for readiness (G-3/5/7) for United States Army Forces Command.[5] He commanded the 25th Infantry Division from 2014 to 2016, then was assigned as deputy commander of United States Army Pacific.[5] He next served as assistant deputy chief of staff for operations (G-3/5/7) at Headquarters Department of the Army.[5] In June 2019, Flynn was assigned as deputy chief of staff for operations (G3/5/7).[5]
Newly promoted General Flynn receives the command colors of USARPAC from Admiral John C. Aquilino as he assumes command on June 4, 2021.
On November 30, 2020, his nomination for promotion to general was submitted to the U.S. Senate and was confirmed by voice vote of the full Senate on December 20, 2020.[6] On January 25, 2021, the Department of Defense announced that Flynn will be the next commander of the United States Army Pacific at Fort Shafter in Honolulu.[7] He assumed that command in a change of command ceremony at Fort Shafter, Hawaii on June 4, 2021.[8]
During the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, a conference call took place between Capitol police, D.C. officials, and Pentagon officials. In that call, the Chief of the Capitol police made "an urgent, urgent immediate request for National Guard assistance", telling them he needed "boots on the ground". However, Lieutenant General Walter E. Piatt, Director of the Army Staff, said he could not recommend the request be approved.[9] Initially denying his involvement, the Army later confirmed that Flynn had participated in the phone call, although claimed he cannot remember if he said anything on the critical call about deploying National Guard, but others on the call reported hearing his voice.[10] Charles Flynn's role drew scrutiny in light of his brother Michael's recent calls for martial law and a redo election overseen by the military.[10]

(19,204 posts)that while the attack on the Capitol was still going on, I heard someone on MSNBC report that Donald Trump had ordered the National Guard to stand down. I can't remember who it was, but I watch MSNBC 90% of the time in the afternoon, so I'm positive it was on MSNBC.
I think someone should go through the entire MSNBC report, as it was happening, from the very beginning, and I'm positive they'd find what I'm talking about. I was livid at the time because of it, and I don't have Alzheimer's or any other mental impairment (other than a serious appreciation of the dark and bizarre humor). Someone reported that Donald Trump had told the National Guard to stand down, and I'd bet my life on that.
