       Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn, brother of Lt. Gen Michael Flynn
       (retired from the military) (Trump's former national security
       advisor and foreign agent), was one of the generals who delayed
       the National Guard during the Capitol Coup.
       Michael Flynn had urged Trump to declare martial law in order to
       maintain power. Trump reportedly discussed this with him
       personally and was quite close to actually following through on
       his plan.
       At first, the military denied Charles Flynn was present during
       the phone calls about deploying the National Guard. Then, they
       were forced to admit he was there. Now, we know he was one of
       the ones to delay the National Guard.
       Maybe it was indeed Trump's intent to let things get bad enough
       to provide an excuse to declare martial law? Additionally, who
       allowed Charles Flynn to oversee such a thing, given the fact
       that his brother was openly advocating to overthrow the
       government? I think I read that, after the insurrection, over
       20,000 National Guard troops had their social networks
       investigated and weren't allowed to participate in the
       inauguration if they had family or friends with known
       insurrectionist sentiments...

       > Another member of the Flynn family caught up in lies and
       traitorous behavior? Color me shocked.
       >
       > Major General William Walker testified that Michael Flynn's
       younger brother was indeed on the phone call while the Capitol
       was being overwhelmed by violent insurrectionists on January 6.
       The Army had previously denied Flynn's presence on the call D.C.
       Police Chief Steven Sund placed, requesting back up from the
       National Guard to help secure the building.
       >
       > Not only was Lt. General Charles Flynn on the call, over by
       1:49 p.m. that day, he was one of the people arguing that the
       "optics" of having the National Guard show up to protect
       Congress and the Capitol wouldn't be good. It took over three
       hours for the "optics" of NOT having them there to get bad
       enough to send them in.
       >
       > According to Maj. Gen. Walker's written prepared remarks, “The
       approval for Chief Sund’s request would eventually come from the
       Acting Secretary of Defense and be relayed to me by Army Senior
       Leaders at 5:08pm–three hours and 19 minutes later."
       >
       > When Sen. Amy Klobuchar questioned him about the call, he
       responded, "Who was talking about optics were General Flynn, and
       General Piatt. And they both said it wouldn't be in their best
       military advice to advise the Secretary of the Army to have
       uniformed Guards members at the Capitol during the election
       confirmation."
       >
       > Nothing fishy at all about the younger brother of Michael
       Flynn — the guy urging Trump to institute martial law in order
       to stay in power — delaying sending in those same troops to
       protect the government from being overthrown by violent
       insurrectionists. Nothing fishy at all.
