All of a sudden Flynn is rumored to be deep state, Sidney is rumored to be a loose woman and Lin is rumored to be a dishonest lawyer.
This is no coincidence. This has all the earmarks of an operation by Strzok et al. No wonder Strzok was gloating over the divisions in the alliance. It's what they do.
Finding ways to divide and conquer is their main skill.
This whole Kyle, Lin, Sidney, Bryne, Flynn thing is loaded with bs designed to distract at a crucial time.
These aren't rumors... these were accusations brought up in a conversation between Byrne and Lin Wood, the implications of which are serious. It would mean the ones trying to do the distracting are the very ones you are protecting.
What Bryne was saying was rumor. He had no proof.
Accusation=rumor if no proof.
The question is whether Bryne himself was played with a false piece of information or if he has been a bad actor.
The rumor about Lin Wood has been soundly disproven by receipts and Lindell.
The rumor about Sidney Powell is especially scurrilous since it is inherently hard to disprove and he has no hard evidence for it. It's a lie often thrown at women in positions of power to destroy them.
The rumor about Flynn is not reasonable, but may get some adherents who are frustrated with the pace of things. He may be also very restricted in what he can say.
Byrne was the one that called Lin and made these accusations based on his purported experience. Did you even listen to the phone conversation? YOU might take it as rumor because you don't find his evidence convincing, but he still made the accusation, unprompted and supplied Lin with the information.
The OP presented this as bad rumors that should be ignored. She implies this was an operation by Strzok and his ilk. In other words, "it's all bullshit, nothing to see here." I'm saying it's not just "rumor/lies" being spread by some unknown "they"; Patrick Byrne, one of the people involved in this whole ordeal, is the one who brought up serious accusations against Sidney Powell.
According to Byrne, Sidney's Defending the Republic is a For Profit organization with funds somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-70 million dollars and she refuses to have this audited.
Byrne claims Sidney uses these funds for her legal defense and spends very little of it for the patriot cause.
Byrne says one of the attorneys involved in Defending the Republic is responsible for many of the public mishaps, bad press, etc. involved in Sidney's court cases, and he just so happened to be Hillary Clinton's lawyer right up until near the election.
Lin Wood claims his name was signed to several of these court cases without his knowledge and he is unhappy about it because he is entangled in some legal issues because of it.
Lin Wood is also disapproving of Sidney's comment of finally paying herself with some of the donation money, effectively turning the public into her client.
On General Flynn, people are upset with two of his public prayers. One, he said we need One religion in America and the other he gave a prayer that was pretty much taken word for word from Elizabeth Clare Prophet that many are calling a New Age guru. There are other people who broke this down that are way more qualified than I am to speak on it, so I'll leave it at that.
Am I saying we've been infiltrated by snakes and satanists in our ranks? I'm not claiming anything. Patrick Byrne brought this up to Lin Wood - why? If it's true, should it not be investigated. If it's a lie, should we not be wary of Patrick Byrne? Could it all be theater or some Sun Tzu tactic? Maybe, but if it's not, this is very serious. Lin Wood is calling them out and it wouldn't take much to look at just a couple of those claims above such as the Hillary connection or a public accounting of funds. Why can't we look into it? Is it just a distraction or are we afraid of what we might find out?
