As previously reported, former FBI Director James Comey and former acting Attorney General Sally Yates targeted General Flynn with a counterintel investigation ONE YEAR before his December 2016 phone call to Russian Ambassador Kislyak during the Trump transition.

The reason? Because he was sitting at a table with Vladimir Putin at a Moscow event in December of 2015–the same event Green Party candidate Jill Stein attended. Jill Stein was also sitting at the same table as Flynn and Putin.

General Flynn’s son, Mike Flynn Jr. is furious over the Deep State’s witch hunt of his father, a decorated 3-star General.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry dropped this leak from Horowitz’s report Thursday afternoon:

That’s right–Comey and Yates began spying on General Flynn over a picture of him sitting at a table next to Putin and Jill Stein.

Russian network RT paid Michael Flynn $45,000 to speak a 10 year anniversary gala in December of 2015.

Big deal. There is nothing illegal about what General Flynn did.

Mike Flynn Jr., who is very vocal about defending his father against the Deep State swamp, reacted to this news.

Flynn Jr. tweeted: If a PICTURE is what got this CI investigation going, shame on @Comey and @SallyQYates for having the obvious partisan standards to open in the first place…

How does a PICTURE prove two people have a relationship? What a joke.

Earlier Thursday, General Flynn’s brother slammed Obama’s criminal CIA Director and Deep State FBI/DOJ.

Jumpin John Brennan and the #CrossfireHurricane … where is the rule of law when a sitting President can launch an investigation into an opposing candidates presidential campaign? #BananaRepublic @FlynnJack515 @mflynnJR @FlynnJack515 https://t.co/PllokcGdA4 — Joseph J.
