1. Wow.

Gen. Flynn needs to be put under oath and explain exactly what he means by "being made the sole scapegoat."

[Skinner]

2. I don't think that's his account.

According to Business Insider his account was @GenFlynn and he deleted it in January.

5. The account in the OP was created in February

It looks like it is valid if you go through it. I expect that he may have created a new one when he was officially brought on board.

10. Hmm. The plot thickens ...

Pinned tweet on Flynn Sr.'s Twitter account:

Michael Flynn @GenMikeFlynn

It has come to my attention that a FAKE Twitter account @MichaelFlynnJr has been set up to impersonate my son.

It has come to my attention that a FAKE Twitter account @GenMikeFlynn has been set up to impersonate my father.

You'd think Twitter might have hurried along the blue tick verification process for a WH account.

12. The fog of "war"

[Denzil_DC]

7. That's right.

Both he and his son deleted their Twitter accounts at the same time.

8. his son deleted his acocunt, I don't remember Flynn Sr ever doing that

Flynn Sr just deleted a few of his worst tweets

[Denzil_DC]

13. According to the WaPo, Flynn's original Twitter account was

https://twitter.com/GenFlynn :

Here's Flynn's tweet:

U decide - NYPD Blows Whistle on New Hillary Emails: Money Laundering, Sex Crimes w Children, etc...MUST READ! https://t.co/O0bVJT3QDr

— General Flynn (@GenFlynn)

That account is unavailable.

[Fast Walker 52]

14. OK, thanks!

[Denzil_DC]

15. You're welcome.

This is all so confusing, I think I'm going to let other folks monitor it and figure out what the hell's going on!

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Sounds like someone who will be proud to take the Fifth.

[Motley13]

4. "SOLE" scapegoat, that is telling

Out like Flynn

[joshcryer]

6. Fake account.

[Fast Walker 52]

9. it's not so clear... and why would someone fake the account to post that?

[joshcryer]

11. Hmm, you're right, I was going on by why other twitter posters were saying.

If it's not fake then who is Flynn talking about? This will no doubt become a huge thing if this is real, because he's implying more co-conspirators and admitting that he is going to fall on his sword here. Extremely irresponsible if he wants to save his ass.

[Denzil_DC]

16. Who knows? Some folks have WAY too much time on their hands.

But this tweet from before the resignation reads like a parody, channeling Trump:

Michael Flynn ‏@GenMikeFlynn

Ironic that same Dems who defended #CrookedHillary during #Emailgate are now asking me to resign. Ridiculous & politically-motivated. Sad!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Do not forget Trump's penchant for Aliases !! He loves twitter so much he probably

said to flynn - hey...I can be you, it would be fun

[Denzil_DC]

20. Oh God. I told myself I wouldn't go down any rabbit holes today, and I have to head outside now.

Don't mean to seem picky, but it's "penchant," BTW. (I just had to correct myself typing "simile for "synonym," and I have no frikkin clue where THAT came from.)

Maybe there's something in the air, or maybe we all need to pace ourselves!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Of course it's penchant. I knew it looked wrong but was too lazy to look up. nt

[Hortensis]

22. Not all Flynn's opponents are amateurs by any means.

He was believed to be genuinely dangerous in that position by many professionals in many nations, not just here, and not just our Joint Chiefs of Staff and our SecDefense. I suspect virtually all felt it important that his almost inevitable self destruction come about as soon as possible.

But if this were a professional job, whose staffers or team might be hammering these particular nails into his coffin in these angles? With what goal(s)?

[Achilleaze]

17. Wow. So he hints that there are more Republican traitors

but he wants Russia to triumph over America, so he will willingly serve as the goat.

Republicans should resign en mass for their betrayal of America.

[Blue_Adept]

18. Fake accounts/best to delete post so as to not spread disinformation

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. If fake - here's some ideas..."DJT's little hands all over it", "BTW, hotel scene really happened" n

23. I think he would sing like a canary

To a reporter or a committee.
