Turkey Uprising and Flynn

Jul 15: Turkey Uprising and Flynn

On this day Flynn was in favor of the uprising. However, 12 days later on Jul 17, Flynn will become a Turkish spy and accept a spy operation to kidnap an American resident. He will receive $600k from the Turkish government with the promise of millions after he turns over the American resident. On Aug 10, 2016 Flynn notifies the Turkish government, “I’m good to go” after receiving the initial payment.

Verified: Not in dispute. Flynn plead guilty to unrelated charges but had to admit these acts. His co-conspirators are likely to go to prison for 10 years. See court documents.
