Fake News? Let's Hope So!

Click here for an earlier post of mine, entitled "Wingnut Flynn - Updated." Since that was posted, Flynn has continued on his merry nutball way, most recently contacting the Russian ambassador to the U.S. multiple times on the same day Obama was announcing sanctions against Russia.



Click here for an article by Digby at Hullabaloo entitiled "Let's hope this is fake news." Michael Flynn Jr. -- apparently a worse alt-right conspiracy theorist than his nutty old man -- "... tweeted out a story published on Voltaire Network entitled “General Flynn’s Proposals to Reform Intelligence.” He tells of a plan afoot to abolish the position of Director of National Intelligence -- currently held by James Clapper, who, together with Michael Vickers, the undersecretary of defense for intelligence, forced Flynn out as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency -- and to make all 16 intelligence agencies responsible to a different official.

That official? The National Security Adviser, a person not subject to Senate confirmation. The official presently holding that position? Michael Flynn, Sr.

Jesus wept.
