woefully inadequate
In a sentencing memorandum released on December 4, 2018, the Mueller investigation stated Flynn "deserves credit for accepting responsibility in a timely fashion and substantially assisting the government" and should receive little or no jail time.[136]
There is far more to the content of the memorandum than that, and it obsoletes much of the other discussion on the page of what Flynn did, which looks like a whitewash at this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jibal (talk • contribs)
One might consider the name of Flynn's current attorney to be important information as well; Sidney Powell
Party affiliation
What is the source for when his party affiliation changed? I think even though he was a registered Democrat, he stated in 2016 he didn't consider himself aligned with that party, and served under a Republican administration. It's misleading to just present him as a Democrat until 2022, and what is the reference for this? Andre 22:06, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Alex Jones and "the sound of the guns is freedom"
do others agree this content should be excluded?
Media Matters reported in January 2024 that days earlier Flynn had appeared in-studio with Alex Jones to say, "I told Alex a couple of years ago when we met that I had first seen him in 2008 and 2009. I said, 'That guy's absolutely right on the money.'" Jones asserted that government-aligned groups are "going to stage false flags — unless we expose them and stop them — to blame us and trigger this. And they're going to make moves that they believe will elicit a civil war. This isn't coming. It's here. They are going to try this." Flynn responded:
I don't raise my voice that much, but when I do, it means that we are moving to — as Alex just said — we're moving towards the sound of the guns here, folks. And the sound of the guns is freedom. We are going to move towards freedom.

- It's quite relevant, properly sourced, and I have restored it. It is very relevant to document that he has called for violent insurrection. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
Pardoned felon
Why is he listed as a pardoned felon? He was never convicted nor sentenced as the government had sought to drop the charges.
Category:Protesters in or near the January 6 United States Capitol attack
Could be added to this category based on Jan. 6 committee holds sixth hearing. "Stone and Flynn both attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6 but are not charged with a crime. They both appeared before the select committee and repeatedly pleaded the Fifth Amendment." Faolin42 (talk) 23:27, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- Doesn't seem to be a defining characteristic of the subject and thus not meriting categorization.⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 23:46, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
