Michael Flynn loses legal challenge against Jan. 6 committee

A federal judge in Florida on Wednesday ruled against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn's bid to block the Jan. 6 select committee from obtaining his phone records.

• Why it matters: The ruling comes just a day after the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency filed a legal challenge against the House probe into the Capitol riot, requesting a temporary restraining order.
  
• Flynn initially planned to assert his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, according to the lawsuit. He also alleged the subpoena "raised significant Constitutional and practical concerns."
  
• Far-right conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones filed a similar lawsuit earlier this week, noting that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment.
  
• What they're saying: "Flynn has not set forth “specific facts in an affidavit or a verified complaint clearly showing that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to him," District Judge Mary Scriven wrote.

Flynn’s Proud Boys contact list will be useful.

No, but Democrats are loving getting to play NKVD for a while.

It was Flynn who was in bed with that sort of organization. Who do you think you're fooling?

Well, he was National Security Advisor for a bit, so you do have a point. But he's got nothing to do with the 1/6 protest, it's just the Dems doing what they've always wanted and playing Stasi and NKVD.

Michael Flynn sold out his country for personal gain, triply treasonous because of the positions of leadership he'd held and because of that two-faced "lock her up campaign" he ran at the same time he was selling his country out. He's a traitor. He's been convicted of being a traitor--he even confessed to it in court twice. He probably, of everyone involved in Trump's coup, is the most deserving of being tossed in prison. He's even a Q dope.

I think his pizzagate claims are solid

JFK Jr s an excellent lawyer

Michael Flynn, fired from the Trump admin and convicted felon, was back in the Oval Office in December, hyping a desperate plan to help Trump keep his job.

None of that actually happened, you mealy-mouthed little weed.

Michael Flynn was the only American National Security Advisor who was also cashing paychecks from Turkey.

How does acting as a lobbyist for a NATO ally equate to "selling out his country," as Keith so hysterically couches it?

Much like all of your fantasy prognostications and wishful thinking.

Dunno, maybe Hunter Biden would know.

All the records are stored on his laptop. Or so I heard.

All of it happened -- it's public record.
