QAnon believers don't know how to handle Michael Flynn's ties to spyware firm behind Pegasus


"So is General Flynn a bad guy then?" asked one QAnon believer.

Edward Snowden is calling it the "story of the year."

On Sunday, the first in a series of investigations were published involving NSO Group, an Israeli firm. The report focused on how the firm's spyware software, Pegasus, has been used by governments to target world leaders, political dissidents, activists, and journalists around the world.

As new stories about the spyware continue to drop, believers of the vast right-wing conspiracy theory QAnon had their own revelation to deal with:

Michael Flynn has ties to the firm behind the spyware.

Flynn's ties to NSO Group are now well known, thanks to financial disclosure forms.

Back in 2017, Huffington Post reported that Flynn had previously worked as an advisory board member and "consultant" for OSY Technologies, NSO Group’s parent company, as well as its previous owner, private equity firm Francisco Partners. According to the Washington Post, Flynn was paid "roughly $100,000" for his work as a consultant for the companies between 2015 and 2017.
