Mike Flynns Son Is Subject of Federal Russia Probe

Source: NBC News

WASHINGTON — Michael G. Flynn, the son of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, is a subject of the federal investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election and possible collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign, according to four current and former government officials.

The inquiry into Flynn is focused at least in part on his work with his father's lobbying firm, Flynn Intel Group, three current and former officials said. It's unclear when the focus on Flynn began.

Barry Coburn, who said he is serving as the younger Flynn's legal counsel, said he couldn't comment on the matter.

Michael G. Flynn's status as a subject of the Russia investigation widens the publicly known scope of the probe. NBC News has reported that those under investigation have included the elder Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. Others under scrutiny by Special Counsel Robert Mueller include Trump campaign ally Carter Page, Trump son-in-law and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner and President Trump's son, Donald Jr.

From the article:

He was a controversial figure during the presidential campaign and during the Trump transition, known for writing inflammatory comments on Twitter and circulating conspiracy theories.

He perpetuated a so-called "pizzagate" conspiracy theory that surfaced in the days before the November election alleging Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton had used the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington to run a child sex-trafficking operation. About a month later, in December 2016, a North Carolina man fired gunshots in the pizzeria allegedly in response to the false "pizzagate" story. At the time, Flynn wrote on Twitter: "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story."

Oh yes, lock his ass up!

The whole miserable scheming lot of them is in it for the money and what they think will be a bonanza after this. They're all dreaming of book deals, TV gigs, high-fallutin' think tank jobs, the lecture circuit, and some other CON asshole hiring them for big new paydays and even better stuff.

Folks like these are ONLY in it to get rich and powerful. Too bad they believe that PUBLIC SERVICE is an automatic gravy train. They're the "what's in it for ME" crowd.

planning on a mega pay day for their part in the Construction of up to 20 Nuke Power Plants through out Saudi Arabia and other Countries. Russia was to supply some the fuel rods as well as disposal of or recycling of spent rods.


Know you understand the fake story about Hillary's selling Uranium Mines to the Russians. People need to read Guardian and other Media for the real story. Why did Trump pick Zinke for Interior,well now you know why. This Administration is so damn corrupt.
