I got better things to do,\u2019 and leave.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThank God that he didn\u2019t,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Flynn said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But as Trump remained in office, Flynn said the political establishment and the media continued to go after him \u201cin any way possible,\u201d which played out publicly in \u201cpsychological operations\u201d such as Russia probe and House Democrats\u2019 impeachment effort, and more recently the politicization of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Flynn claimed, because the Democratic Party didn\u2019t achieve the result in the vote it needed to secure its candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, in the White House, America is seeing \u201ctheft with mail-in ballots\u201d and \u201ctheft with this Smartmatic software and Dominion systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cThis is still a coup in progress,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He went further to say that the ideological cousin of America\u2019s far-left political groups, the Chinese Communist Party, has interests in supporting such a coup.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat we have seen is \u2026 over the last probably two decades \u2026 is a complete shift in how fast, I believe, that communist China in their long term plan decided to sort of move up their plans to become the sole global superpower on the planet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI believe when during the last 2016 election, when they didn\u2019t get the candidate that they needed, and the kind of ideology that they they saw America moving towards, they were not going to allow 2020 to happen,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Flynn said, blaming the foreign-owned software systems used in the election for leaving the country vulnerable to foreign interference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But he added, with the \u201chundreds and hundreds\u201d of American patriots across the country coming forward to offer their witness testimony as affidavits to \u201cwarriors\u201d on the legal battleground, like Rudy Giuliani and Lin Wood, \u201cI believe we\u2019re going to see some momentum changing here.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere already is an undercurrent of momentum shifting for the president and\u00a0<strong>I believe that at the end of the day, we\u2019re going to find out that he won by a massive landslide and he\u2019ll be inaugurated come this January,<\/strong>\u201d Flynn said, referring to the numerous legal challenges currently pending or being considered by courts in battleground states and the supreme court.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Flynn made\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/trump-flynn-just-did-his-job-but-didnt-tell-pence-properly_2224562.html\">headlines<\/a> in 2017 when he was targeted by the intelligence community for charges of \u201cRussia collusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2017, to one count of lying to the FBI over speaking to then-Russian ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak during Trump\u2019s 2016 transition period, Flynn later withdrew his plea, saying that it was part of a deal with prosecutors over threats of charges targeting his son. The retired general also accused the government of misconduct related to his case.<\/p>\n<p>His case was used by the media to push the unsubstantiated narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin to sway the outcome of the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of the Senate Judiciary Committee said on Nov. 10 that the FBI\u2019s motivation for pursuing Flynn was \u201cbogus political persecution and prosecution\u201d by those who disagree \u201cpolitically with President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/michael-flynn-says-coup-against-trump-still-progress-first-public-remarks-pardon\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/michael-flynn-says-coup-against-trump-still-progress-first-public-remarks-pardon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Flynn Says Coup Against Trump Still In Progress In First Public Remarks Since Pardon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39079\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
