Lawmakers Want 'Action' Taken Against Michael Flynn After Myanmar Coup Remark

Lawmakers have criticized former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn after he appeared to say that a Myanmar-like military coup "should happen" in the United States.

A handful of Republicans and Democrats hit out at the retired U.S. Army lieutenant general over the holiday weekend, with one calling for "action" to be taken against the former Trump administration official.

GOP lawmakers on the so-called "moderate" wing of the party said it was wrong of Flynn to indicate support for the "overthrow" of the U.S. government, and argued that any fantasies of a coup would be "ended quickly."

"To those begging for a military coup: you will be shocked when the military arrests you under the 'and domestic' part of the oath," Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) tweeted on Monday night. "Your fantasy will be ended quickly."

are finding out that they are being held to account for their traitorous actions and trump is nowhere to be found.

When these traitors are finally found and dragged out of their holes or out of their Mom and Dad's basements, they are being charged w/ various criminal charges under federal code.

As soon as the former guy is reinstated in August, like he's boasting will happen (it won't happen), he'll just pardon Flynn again.
