The planned induction of traitorous former Trump National Security Advisor and friend of Vlad Mike Flynn into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame has put on indefinite leave after multiple members of the board resigned in protest and the organization received massive public pushback, Newsweek reports.
Though one board member had publicly announced his resignation after Flynn was named to the Hall, at least four others apparently resigned privately. In a letter obtained by the Providence Journal, board members Bea Lanzi, a former state senator, and lawyer John Tarantino wrote: “There is an overall right and wrong in the universe, and what has happened here, in our view, and according to our moral compasses, and consciences, compels us to resign.”
The former three-star Army general found success selling his access to foreign contacts: dining at the RT anniversary celebration with Vladimir Putin, selling technology to Saudi Arabia, and planning the kidnapping of a Turkish dissident in the US. He then served as Trump’s national security advisor for two Scaramuccis before being forced out for lying to national security investigators about his contacts with Russia. Flynn pleaded guilty, and then changed his plea un-guilty, to making false statements to the FBI; after Attorney General Bill Barr assigned a hand-picked Trump appointee to review the case, the Department of Justice dropped all charges. Flynn later accepted a pardon from Trump.
