I’d argue KGB ties & identities held stronger than any other after Soviet collapse. A cohesive force among those they bound from early 90s. Major continuity in swirling chaos that followed, and foundations of today’s silovik state. Much more to be said on this —hope others will. https://t.co/diZfGu0cpa— Nigel Gould-Davies (@Nigelgd1) May 21, 2021

xNext time Ted Cruz wants to brutally insult America's military, he should point out that it made Mike Flynn a general.— Mrs. Betty Bowers (@BettyBowers) May 21, 2021 The Army falsely denied for days that Lt. Gen. Charles A. Flynn, the brother of disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn, was involved in a key meeting during its heavily scrutinized response to the deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol. Charles Flynn confirmed in a statement issued to The Washington Post on Wednesday that he was in the room for a tense Jan. 6 phone call during which the Capitol Police and D.C. officials pleaded with the Pentagon to dispatch the National Guard urgently, but top Army officials expressed concern about having the Guard at the Capitol. Flynn left the room before the meeting was over, anticipating that then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, who was in another meeting, would soon take action to deploy more guard members, he said. “I entered the room after the call began and departed prior to the call ending as I believed a decision was imminent from the Secretary and I needed to be in my office to assist in executing the decision,” Flynn said. www.washingtonpost.com/...

Mike Flynn, former National Security Advisor, called Covid (a true national security threat) a “diversion” to distract from the “stolen” election, when in truth, the lie about the election sparked a national security threat—an insurrection.

Jim Arroyo, a senior figure in the far-right militia group the Oath Keepers, told “60 Minutes” the group has received training from “active-duty law enforcement” personnel, but he attempted to distance the larger paramilitary movement from the members charged in connection with the U.S. Capitol insurrection. “Our guys are very experienced. We have active-duty law enforcement in our organization that are helping to train us,” Arroyo, the vice president of the Oath Keepers’ largest chapter, in Arizona, said in the interview. “We can blend in with our law enforcement ― in fact, in a lot of cases, our training is much more advanced because of our military backgrounds.” www.huffpost.com/... xAn active-duty U.S. Marine is facing a court hearing in D.C. for his alleged role in the U.S. Capitol insurrection. https://t.co/P45aOufq6T— NBCWashington (@nbcwashington) May 18, 2021 xMaj.
