Shep Smith RIPS INTO Mike Flynn after advocacy for Turkey during Trump tenure discovered

by SooperMexican

Shep Smith get all sassy with Trump’s former national security advisor Mike Flynn after it was discovered that he had been paid to advocate for the Muslim country of Turkey, where their president Erdogan is making it more and more dictatorial.

Here’s more on the story:

Michael Flynn, who was President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser until being fired last month, has registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for $530,000 worth of lobbying work before Election Day that may have aided the Turkish government.

Paperwork filed Tuesday with the Justice Department’s Foreign Agent Registration Unit said Flynn and his firm were voluntarily registering for lobbying from August through November that “could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey.” It was filed by a lawyer on behalf of the former U.S. Army lieutenant general and intelligence chief.

After his firm’s work on behalf of a Turkish company was done, Flynn agreed not to lobby for five years after leaving government service and never to represent foreign governments.

And, as Shep mentioned, they want their money back!!!

The businessman, Ekim Alptekin, said in a phone call from Istanbul that the changes were a response to “political pressure” and he did not agree with Flynn’s decision to file the registration documents with the Justice Department.

“I disagree with the filing,” he said. “It would be different if I was working for the government of Turkey, but I am not taking directions from anyone in the government.”

Alptekin added that he had asked for some of the $530,000 in payments to Flynn’s consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group Inc., to be returned to him because of his dissatisfaction with the company’s performance.

And here’s what he wrote:

And this was back when no one knew he was being paid by the Turks? Sounds pretty fishy to me.
