Flynn Tells Us Who He Is Again

preview

LatestBy|December 2, 2020 8:26 a.m.Last night, fresh off his pardon for past crimes, retired General Mike Flynn endorsed a call for President Trump to suspend the constitution and declare martial law. It came in a in which Flynn tweeted and endorsed a calling on President “to immediately declare a limited form of Martial Law and temporarily suspend the Constitution and civilian control of these federal elections for the sole purpose of having the military oversee a national re-vote.”There’s a lot more awful stuff in the declaration. But that quote, I think, includes all we ever need to hear: declare martial law, throw out the results of an election you lost. In a democracy, this is essentially sedition, a call to overthrow the state.In 2015 and 2016 we saw in Gen. Flynn a man of extraordinarily bad and reckless government married to vast personal, venal corruption. Here he shows us again this is who he is and remains.&nbsp;Have a tip? !Dear Reader,When we asked recently what makes TPM different from other outlets, readers cited factors like honesty, curiosity, transparency, and our vibrant community. They also pointed to our ability to report on important stories and trends long before they are picked up by mainstream outlets; our ability to contextualize information within the arc of history; and our focus on the real-world consequences of the news.Our unique approach to reporting and presenting the news, however, wouldn’t be possible without our readers’ support. That’s not just marketing speak, it’s true: our work would literally not be possible without readers deciding to become members. Not only does member support account for more than 80% of TPM’s revenue, our members have helped us build an engaged and informed community. Many of our best stories were born from reader tips and valuable member feedback.We do what other news outlets can’t or won’t do because our members’ support gives us real independence.If you enjoy reading TPM and value what we do, become a member today.Sincerely,TPM StaffFounder &amp; Editor-in-Chief:Executive Editor:Managing Editor:Associate Editor:Investigations Desk:Reporters:Newswriter:Editor at Large:General Counsel:Publisher:Head of Product:Director of Technology:Associate Publisher:Front End Developer:Senior Designer:
