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.

The Washington Post was the first to report Flynn's participation in the call.

1. Lying About Invasion Stuff?

No way.

Trimp's people never lie about anything, especially coups.

2. If it is all innocent, why did they hide and deny his participation? n/t

3. They Simply Forgot

81 times. It worked for Alberto Gonzales and Rick Scott.

It isn't crime if you can't remember. Everyone knows that.

6. So Charles Flynn is involved with the slow defenses on day his brother helps incite terrorism?!

Yeah, ... Charles Flynn is really stupid too at least

7. The clarity of the Insurrection leadership is coming into focus.

And it explains why Biden's transition team was kept out of the Pentagon for as long as it was.

The more we learn, the less it seems like a "spontaneous" event. There were mercenaries involved who used the cover of a clueless rube mob, to attempt the overthrow of the US Government.

13. They used MAGA as human shields.

That’s despicable.

Now those poor saps are gonna lose everything.

8. My questions would be: 1) If Charles Flynn was not in the chain of command

to deploy the DC National Guard and does not have the authority to deploy troops, why did he leave the room before the call ended to "be in [his] office to assist in executing the decision" concerning a request for the Guard/troops. What would his "assistance" entail?

2) Why did the Pentagon lie about his presence in the room?

These are simple questions and they ought to be easy to answer. Let's get this cleared up ASAP. The American people need to know.

9. Great. So now the Army is an accomplice.

11. "The Army's response"?

How about the army’s non-response?

Lots of questions about this revelation.

I heard Flynn was ON the call denying guard troops.
He was recently installed. Just for the incident?
Army at first denied he was there. Why?
The whole thing went down during his shift. Coincidence?

14. This may be a reason why the Biden transition team was not allowed at the Pentagon until after the

failed insurrection.

15. The whole thing reeks.

I keep thinking back on a video I saw of a different rally in Washington, pre-Jan 6.

In the video, Alex Jones walks up to Mike Flynn , and asks Flynn “are you scared?”. Flynn says no, kinda blows Jones off, and Jones walks away.

Just seems kinda weird now. But, some good investigators should be going back, and looking at all these guys movements last November and December. We’re so lucky this coup didn’t take.

Traitors.
