Lol, while we were sleeping, Lin 1. pulled some SEC documents that ‘proves’ Flynn was working for Soros. 2. Released an audio recording of Flynn mocking Qanon.

A daily beast article about this: > **[QAnon Hero Michael Flynn Secretly Said QAnon Is ‘Total Nonsense’](https://www.thedailybeast.com/qanon-hero-michael-flynn-secretly-said-qanon-is-total-nonsense?ref=author)** > > Lin Wood released a recording of a call in which Flynn says QAnon is a CIA-created disinformation campaign. Amazing, as @Typo_Negative noted above, that all this was started by Rittenhouse when he accused Lin Wood and the Stop the Steal movement of being grifts in his Tucker Carlson interview. ---

Yes, an also an ex-boyfriend of Russian spy Maria Butina. My theory is that she slipped him low doses of hallucinogenic drugs to further unhinge him. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Russian agents that Guiliani was hanging with did the same thing. Although maybe they were just encouraged to watch right-wing podcasts all the time, the effect is the same. ---

It’s this weird autobiographical account of his efforts to overthrow the 2020 election, a piece of bizarro world fan fiction.

Dude must have some strange accounting practices. According to the article, his $455k mortgage was paid off in January, the same day that his $100k emergency pandemic loan was forgiven. Now he’s 2 million bucks in the red. And his wife just gave birth to their 12th child. ---
