BREAKING NEWS!!! ...I was just watching Fox...

My husband likes to flip around then walk out with the remote... something crazy has happened though...
They're just finding out that Lt. General Flynn ' attorneys have quit talking to Trump's lawyers.
They are sure this is about an unfinished documentary Flynn was working on. Who knew Flynn was a film maker???
Obviously this has nothing to do with Trump and is just legal technicalities...

I learn so much tuning into Fox a week after something happens!

Flynn is making a documentary and that's what all this is about? I know it's Fox, but STILL!

They can't just leave it up to their viewers to figure out what's going on. They might reach the correct conclusion.

He's also an astronaut, one of those who has pushed the fake news story about Earth being round.

I thought it was a Nobel prize.

When I say he is a true Renaissance man, I mean it. His attitudes reflect 16th century ideals.

The Journal reported Friday, citing unnamed people familiar with Mueller’s investigation, that the FBI is “preparing to interview consultants” hired by Flynn to work on the Gulen documentary.

The report noted that, in May, one freelance journalist hired by Flynn to film interviews for the documentary claimed to have been told by Flynn to keep his company’s involvement secret.


At the bottom of it all is his relationship to Alpetkin, and this "film" was a hit piece. We're just having fun imagining him as the next Coppola.

"Former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for his involvement in an unfinished documentary film financed by Turkish interests, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday evening. The investigation is part of a larger inquiry to determine if Flynn improperly hid financial ties to both Turkey and Russia, the Journal said.

The FBI is gearing up to interview people Flynn hired to make the documentary, the paper said. That film would have revolved around exiled Turkish cleric, Fethullah Gulen, whom Ankara has accused of trying to overthrow Turkish President Recep Tayyip Edorgan last year, people familiar with the investigation told the Journal."
