Michael Flynn's son blames hacker after his disgraced father posts a cryptic tweet

ERIC W. DOLAN
25 MAY 2018 AT 10:54 ET

Disgraced former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn on Friday tweeted and then quickly deleted an unusual message on Twitter.




The photo shows Hillary Clinton, sitting with disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein and her longtime aide Huma Abedin. The tweet was his first since December, according to his timeline.

Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.

His son, Flynn Jr., claimed that his father’s Twitter account had been hacked.

and Michael Flynn sure as hell should be staying off social media and spending every waking moment praying his plea deal holds together, the old "I was hacked" explanation for apparent bad-judgment social media posts has long since lost credibility.

I acknowledge it might be true, but I no longer accept that it is true without further evidence.

That's one to put on his resume, assuming Flynn Sr. ever gets another job.

Trying to come up with what the "hacker" intended here...

This one is a reach... maybe something similar. or not.

At this point, I find myself wondering - what on earth will those pathetic idiots do - after Hillary Clinton is gone? She, too, will pass at some time in the future. What will they do without her when she’s no longer around to serve as their go-to punching bag? I bet that will be a dark day for those fiends! I can just hear the little voices in their little heads wailing “WAAAAAAAAAAAH! No Fair! We don’t have Hillary to kick around anymore!!1!1111!!”

I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if they kept at it anyway. If for no other reason, out of sheer reflex. I also suspect that some shrieking know-nothing like Alex Jones starts pushing the “conspiracy theory” that she’s not really dead. She faked her own death to try to force us off her trail! They’ll try to make her into a “new Elvis” or something.

Then again, I’d expect that the hatred in some of these deluded, misinformed/uninformed jerks is so intense that they’d damn near try to dig her body up and drag it through the mud, to sooth their upset over not being able to do it while she was still alive. That’s how irrationally and virulently some of them hate her. They’ve dined out on that hatred and made names for themselves and big bucks (lookin’ at YOU, Drudge. And YOU, limbaugh!) for so many years that it will have become almost an automatic reflex by then, to keep on doing so yet again.

You heard it here first.

Obsessed with Hillary Clinton and can't type coherent words. Clearly the work of Trump.
