Michael Flynn Jr. Reinstates Twitter Account to Call Out Disinformation Campaign Against His Ousted Father
by J.D. Durkin | 9:06 am, February 14th, 2017
Well, that didnt take long.
Just a few weeks after deleting his Twitter account, it would appear that Michael Flynn Jr. the embattled, conspiratorial son of former National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn has rejoined the ranks of the social media world to call out the forces that resulted in his fathers resignation late last night.
General Flynn, who was tapped by President Donald Trump to serve as National Security Advisor after being one of the campaigns most supportive surrogates early on, resigned last night after pressure mounting from phone calls he made to a Russian ambassador on the day the Obama administration issued sanctions against the Kremlin. Flynn then misled or perhaps outright lied to the White House about the content of those calls, which led to then-VP-elect Mike Pence going on Face The Nation and arguing on behalf of Flynns innocence.
But Flynn Jr., who has a documented history of dabbling in the realms of wild conspiracy theories, took to Twitter Tuesday morning to champion the move as a win for the disinformation campaign against his father.

General Mike (Benedict) Flynn is NOT just some guy Trump hired during the transition!
Tie all these people together for two years of treasonous activity.
The entire campaign! No slithering away!
