Michael Flynn’s Comeback: From Comey’s Trap to Unstoppable Force
Years ago, I wrote an article about General Michael Flynn that set readers ablaze. It was a pre-censorship world—Facebook and Twitter hadn’t yet turned into digital chokeholds—and people couldn’t get enough of the truth I laid bare: Flynn, a decorated three-star general, was a good man, unjustly targeted by a weaponized justice system. They loved it because it was real, fearless, and cut through the fog of lies. Today, Flynn’s story is more urgent than ever—not just a tale of betrayal, but a roaring comeback of a patriot who won’t stay down.
Flynn’s credentials are ironclad. A 33-year Army veteran, he rose to lieutenant general, shaping U.S. counterterrorism strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan with a mind that could connect dots others couldn’t see. As Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from 2012 to 2014, he was a bulldog—brilliant, relentless, and unafraid to call out what wasn’t working. But that’s where the trouble started. In 2010, he’d published a report slamming military intelligence in Afghanistan—praised by Defense Secretary Robert Gates as “brilliant,” but it ruffled feathers in the Obama White House. By 2014, he was forced out of the DIA, a move many saw as payback for his candor. The deep state doesn’t like truth-tellers.
Then came the real ambush. When Flynn joined Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign as a national security advisor, he became a prime target. Enter James Comey, the FBI director with a smirk and a playbook. In January 2017, days into Trump’s presidency, Comey sent agents to “interview” Flynn at the White House about calls with Russia’s ambassador—calls Flynn had every right to make during the transition. No lawyer, no warning, just a trap. Comey later bragged about it, admitting he exploited the chaos of a new administration to catch Flynn off guard. The general, trusting his decades of service would shield him, didn’t see the knife coming.
What followed was a masterclass in bamboozlement. Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI—over a conversation where no crime was committed. The Mueller investigation, built on the shaky stilts of the Russia hoax, piled on. Evidence later showed the FBI knew Flynn wasn’t a Russian puppet; they even had notes debating whether their goal was to “get him to lie” or “get him fired.” Comey’s little clandestine attack wasn’t about justice—it was a political hit. Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 under crushing pressure—his family threatened, his finances gutted—only for the DOJ to drop the case in 2020, citing “egregious government misconduct.” Trump pardoned him that November, but the damage was done: years lost, reputation smeared.
So what’s Flynn doing now? He’s not licking wounds—he’s fighting back. At 66, he’s a force again, crisscrossing the country with the ReAwaken America tour, rallying thousands with a message of faith, freedom, and defiance against the elites who tried to bury him. He’s turned his ordeal into a megaphone, warning about the deep state’s grip and pushing a Christian nationalist vision that’s got the establishment squirming. Critics call it extreme; his supporters call it redemption. He’s also behind Flynn, a 2024 documentary that lays out his side—raw, unfiltered, and pulling no punches. Posts on X show him calling out the CIA, demanding accountability for Epstein’s list, and backing Trump’s agenda with the fire of a man who’s seen the enemy up close.
Flynn’s not half the man he was—he’s more. The Comey sting stole years, but it forged a warrior who’s learned the game and plays it harder. He’s not just surviving; he’s building a movement. My old article proved people crave his story. This one’s for them—and for the general who keeps proving he’s unbreakable.
Amen! An American hero.
