Meet the team of ex-military officers working with Mike Flynn to discredit democracy

A team of former military officers organized by retired general Mike Flynn is conducting a large-scale operation to delegitimize the 2020 presidential election.

Flynn and his former colleague Phil Waldron, an Army Reserve colonel who says he served under the former general at the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, are working with at least two other retired and reserve officers to persuade Americans that last year's election was stolen from Donald Trump, reported Reuters.

"For the past year, Flynn, Waldron and other intelligence veterans have helped propagate some of the outlandish theories undercutting Americans’ faith in democracy," the news organization reported. "They pitched false accusations to lawmakers and the public about how the election had been compromised, pushed spurious lawsuits to challenge its outcome, and bankrolled efforts to conduct partisan audits of the results. They provided briefings to members of Congress on methods for overturning the election, and worked aside some of the leading actors in Trump’s 'Stop the Steal' movement."

AND Police weed out the loons in their ranks it's a lost cause and we will continue to see the madness escalate because there is protection from within. The fact that Flynn is still drawing his military pay (tax payer funded by the way) and is walking around as an honorable retired military brass despite pleading guilty TWICE and being a complete traitor and sell out of the country speaks volumes.
