Flynn appears before Jan. 6 committee but doesn't answer questions

Source: CBS News

Onetime Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn appeared on Thursday before the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack, his attorney confirmed.

The deposition comes after the committee subpoenaed Flynn last year, requesting information about a December 2020 meeting he reportedly attended with then-President Trump in the Oval Office. Topics of discussion allegedly included seizing voting machines, declaring a national emergency and invoking certain national emergency powers.

"General Michael Flynn appeared before the January 6th Committee today in compliance with their subpoena and, on advice of counsel, exercised his 5th amendment right to decline to answer the Committee's questions," attorney David Warrington said in a statement.

Warrington claimed that during the deposition, committee staff "insinuated that General Flynn's decision to decline to answer their questions constituted an admission of guilt."

He's worthless as a 3-star but I'd love to see him compelled to testify and talk about the lizards and other swamp creatures he knows.

Any deal he would agree to would ultimately end up with him lies and other forms of deception.

Traitorous dude needs to have his ass locked up until he rots.

Looking forward to his brother Charlie appearing too.

Washington (CNN)The Army is now acknowledging that Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn, the brother of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn, was in the room for one of the key January 6 phone calls in which DC government and US Capitol Police were asking for National Guard troops to quell the unfolding violence at the US Capitol.
The decision-making has come under scrutiny as city and Capitol Police officials have alleged that the Pentagon was slow to respond, while the Pentagon and Army maintain they never denied or delayed requests for the National Guard.
In official timelines released by the Department of Defense in the wake of the riot, Charles Flynn, the deputy chief of staff of the Army, was not listed as participating in any of the calls that day about mobilizing the National Guard to respond to the riot.

A former National Guard official issued a blistering 36-page memo accusing Michael Flynn’s brother and another U.S. Army general of lying to Congress about the military response to the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to media reports.

Col. Earl Matthews, who served in the National Security Council and Pentagon during Donald Trump’s administration, specifically targeted the Defense Department’s Inspector General (IG) for what he calls “an erroneous report” protecting a top Army official who delayed sending the National Guard to the U.S. Capitol.

then the military could recall him and court martial him and take his pension and rank away.
If he makes any plea deals it should include no cell phones for the rest of his life, no travel expenses paid for by third parties.
