Ex-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn says he is the victim of “political persecution,” according to the Daily Caller.
“My persecution was a political persecution and that’s really clear and the evidence has come out in spades,” Flynn said. “Basically it was a get Flynn to get [President Donald] Trump direction.”
“Nobody else was there. They interviewed him in a conference room at the White House Situation Room and he lied to them,” James Comey said in a video.
“Yeah, a big ‘ha ha moment’ for Cardinal Comey,” Flynn said. “What an arrogant smug person that he is, so that’ll be my last comment about him.”
“The culture and the behavior that was developed or allowed or enabled under the previous administration in elements of the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States intelligence community and other parts of our institutions is outrageous.”
“The culture and that behavior has to change. It has to be corrected.”
“America deserves accountability. We deserve accountability [from] these bureaucrats and appointed officials in our government.”
From The Daily Caller:
Flynn has been active in the Trump campaign’s efforts to dispute the results of the 2020 presidential election. He recently signed a petition from the non-profit group “We The People Convention” that said there was “no peaceful way left to preserve our Union” if President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated and said Trump needs to intervene with his “extraordinary authority” in order to avoid another civil war.
Trump last month granted a presidential pardon to Flynn, who had initially pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI.
