An explicitly stated non-comment in a public forum from a direct question would be seen as a confirmation (true or not). He could have answered no other way, regardless of the truth.
He could have said "I don't know". Instead he said that the idea the military was in control was "total nonsense" and barely stopped short of calling plan believers kooks. Even if he is doing it because he can't reveal the plan, it is still going to demoralise a lot of good, patriotic people.
Regardless of having current or past security clearances, legally, you can't disclose classified info unless that info was declassified. When you no longer hold a security clearance, you are 'debriefed' where you sign papers that legally bind you from discussing the classified info you know.
Right. Using my intellect and natural curiosity, I suspected the arrests have been ongoing in secret. Therefore most of Congress are in GITMO and we are watching clones or body doubles. Trump declassified so many documents. Much of who and what has taken place has already been revealed online, IF we're curious enough to look.
For those of us not inquisitive about what's really happening, I pity what you're about to learn when all is revealed because the shock will be too great.
Just to clarify....the interviewer was Doug, the host of 'The Right Side With Doug Billings' who has a podcast interview show. I don't believe he has any affiliation with RSBN (Right Side Broadcasting Network).
I like Doug's show, and listen to him often, but I agree, I think this was a boneheaded thing to ask.
Gen Flynn has a NDA from the position he held which was discussed during his trial hearings.... that NDA is still enforced so he is barred from discussing any of his work.....
Then add to that his obligation under the security designation of his previous positions and the military equivalent under military law then his words are tied from every direction....
well he just said hold the wine and dont give up on the idea Trump will be reinstalled, so thats prob as close as you are going to get as any sort of confirmation lol that's a giant hint from where I'm sitting!
For those of you thinking Flynn was serious when he said no plan. For one, he’s not just gonna say yeah there’s a plan and let our enemies know outright. Part of the art of war. He then literally said the opposite on Telegram soon after from an older video. Wasn’t it the same interviewer that also said he should pay his buddy the bottle of wine that he bet his friend if Trump lost? Flynn said I wouldn’t concede that bottle of wine.
We can agree to disagree. Need to know is the determining factor to grant a clearance and, until we know for sure, Trump isn’t reinstating anything because he’s not the President
When I received my Top Secret Code Word (TSCW) clearance, they took us into a room where a big man with an acre of brass and ribbons decorating his uniform explained a few things to us in no uncertain terms.
What was discussed was mostly classified, so I can't reveal it here. You have neither the clearance nor the need to know. But one thing I can share is that those are the two components to being in a position to receive classified intelligence.
Security clearance of the appropriate level for the classification level of the intel
The NEED TO KNOW.
The two are entirely separate and distinct. In other words, even with my Top Secret clearance I would never be allowed to view even Confidential or Secret info, if I lacked the NEED TO KNOW about it. This is the smart way to ensure the safety of classified intel.
Then you already know the difference between a clearance and need to know, and that both are required in order to consume classified material. I agree that you are correct in that there is no benefit to arguing these points.
Have a good one, and thanks for your service also.
I never suggested Trump reinstated Gen. Flynn "to be a General in the Military". It is, of course, a thing: as CIC, Trump could have had him called into active service and given any rank Trump saw fit. Fact.
Flynn never committed an actual felony. That was a trumped-up BS charge that we have proof was intended by felons and traitors within the FBI to entrap Gen. Flynn illegally.
You have less than zero knowledge of whether Trump reinstated Flynn's security clearance or not. Many officials retain their clearances after leaving their govt jobs, often for years. (I say 'less than zero' because you're pretending you do have the knowledge while having trouble in this thread distinguishing a clearance from need to know.)
there is no line. we just get on with our lives and monitor what's happening in the meantime. We hope for the best and plan for the worst. Its not either/or. Its not like we quit work to sit on the boards all day hoping Q will save us.
Right. Wtf did they say
Scold the Nine
Fold the sign!
Any proof this text ever happened?
I can neither confirm nor deny your comment.

BS. "I don't know."

You’re still allowed to answer “I don’t know” to the question asked.
Just know that Congress is trying hard to impeach the sitting President. i.e. Trump is still President.
I agree. Why else would they be doing this? They could care less about 2024, they own the machines and have 4 undeterred yrs to caulk any cracks.

What makes anyone think Flynn on some podcast will actually say "Oh yeah we got a plan and hell yes the military is in control"??
OPSEC & The Art of War
https://jamesclear.com/book-summaries/the-art-of-war
why would he you have more than you know.
dude wears armbands with DIGITAL SOLDIERS written all over them, signs his books WWG1WGA and even recited the oath what more proof do you need
well he just said hold the wine and dont give up on the idea Trump will be reinstalled, so thats prob as close as you are going to get as any sort of confirmation lol that's a giant hint from where I'm sitting!
I don't know the answer to your question, but I found this video I thought was interesting. https://youtu.be/Bx0CcQviQk0
Besides, what would be the point of encouraging us to get involved in politics if voting was corrupt and irrelevant?
I signed NDA's every year my clearances were renewed. They last 50 years. Last one I signed was 2004.
He couldn't legally disclose classified intel anyway, clearance or no.

even so you think hes gonna say there is a plan you moron
Trump reissued his security clearance immediately
Even if he could, would he WANT to?
He could have said "no comment." He emphatically denied and stressed how important it was to work with what we have.
Sorry. Deal with reality
Saying "no comment" would be the equivalent of saying "yes but im going to pretend not to know. Play along"
You really think General Flynn would be that kind of guy? You disgust me
did you miss the part at the end, mr shill guy
There is absolutely no chance he has his clearance, he doesn’t have the “need to know”.
There is every chance he still has his clearance. Trump reinstated.
Clearance and need to know are entirely different things.
We can agree to disagree. Need to know is the determining factor to grant a clearance and, until we know for sure, Trump isn’t reinstating anything because he’s not the President
No. I will attempt to explain this to you.
When I received my Top Secret Code Word (TSCW) clearance, they took us into a room where a big man with an acre of brass and ribbons decorating his uniform explained a few things to us in no uncertain terms.

Now you know.
I’m not arguing, I’m retired military, was on active duty for 20 years with a security clearance.
Then you already know the difference between a clearance and need to know, and that both are required in order to consume classified material. I agree that you are correct in that there is no benefit to arguing these points.
Have a good one, and thanks for your service also.

(I say 'less than zero' because you're pretending you do have the knowledge while having trouble in this thread distinguishing a clearance from need to know.)
To expand: Clearances aren't given willy-nilly. If there's no reason for Gen Flynn to have one right now then he wouldn't be given one.
He maybe never lost it

Deported.
Booooo. Screw you handshake.
Lol I used to lurk on TD.W, P.W and then here for months. Always wanted to say that to someone. Feels good
