Incoming National Security Adviser and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn deleted a tweet that linked to a bogus news story tying Hillary Clinton to money laundering and sex crimes involving children, CNN’s KFILE first reported Wednesday.
Flynn posted the tweet on Nov. 2, linking to a piece on the fake news website True Pundit that claimed an FBI investigation into former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) computer had turned up evidence “to put Hillary (Clinton) and her crew away for life.”
“U decide – NYPD Blows Whistle on New Hillary Emails: Money Laundering, Sex Crimes w Children, etc…MUST READ!” read Flynn’s tweet, which can still be viewed in the Internet Archive.
It’s unclear why Flynn chose to delete this tweet now, and no other tweets appear to have been deleted, according to CNN.
Flynn and his son have come under fire for tweeting links to fake news stories, especially since a man opened fire in a Washington D.C. pizza shop earlier this month in the course of “investigating” an online conspiracy theory about Democratic operatives running a child sex ring there.
Flynn’s son’s posts about that conspiracy theory, known as “Pizzagate,” reportedly got him fired from Trump’s transition team.
Retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey has said he changed his opinion on the incoming national security adviser after reading his tweets.
What are the chances that someone made Flynn aware of the “special” relationship Trump has with Ivanka…and has had for decades.
BTW, the transition team just announced that Ivanka’s office will be the office reserved for the First Lady in the WH. I guarantee that come late Jan/early Feb, the networks will run their obligatory FLOTUS pieces on changes to the White House…starring Ivanka. She will, without any doubt, be assuming all the duties of First Lady, while Melania spends the next 4 years locked in Trump Towers.
The only piece really missing will be how Trump sends Kuchner overseas for extended periods of time. So he can have that special “alone” time with Ivanka.
And this bozo is Trump’s briefing filter? The truth is out there.
I knew Flynn’s tweet was bogus as soon as I saw the Boy Scouts weren’t mentioned in it.
Cream of the crop
Flynn: I deleted this tweet because this is true and FBI is investigating. Other tweets are waiting to be investigated and will be true in near future.
