https://news.yahoo.com/michael-flynns-brother-key-pentagon-092419008.html"Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn, the Army's deputy chief of staff for operations and training and brother to disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn did participate in a critical Jan. 6 meeting to discuss deploying the National Guard to the besieged Capitol, The Washington Post reports. The Army had denied several times that Flynn was involved in the conference call at the Pentagon with Washington, D.C., officials and Capitol Police, the Post notes, but both Flynn and the Pentagon confirmed his presence on Wednesday."

It doesn't seem odd to me that the Army Deputy CoS for operations was on the call.

Because that person or persons should be considered complicit in the plot.

What seems odd to me is that the Army staff lied about it. If LTG Flynn was just doing his job, there would be no reason to lie about it. Ergo....

Michael Flynns Wild Ride Into The Heart Of QAnon
Michael Flynn stood in front of a cheering crowd of QAnon believers, far-right extremists and other Trump supporters, and told them he was absolutely certain Donald Trump would remain the president. It was Dec. 12 and Trump had already lost the election, but at a Stop the Steal rally in Washington, D.C., Flynn proclaimed a spiritual battle for the heart and soul of this country that would end with Trumps victory.
As three of his siblings applauded behind him, Flynn vowed that the election was not over and that courts arent gonna decide who the next president of the United States is gonna be. Flynn said Trump trusted his supporters to not allow whats happening to happen in our country and called on them to fight back against an alleged plot involving groundless conspiracy theories of election fraud and rigged voting machines.
