Michael Flynn Launches New Consulting Firm Called “Resilient Patriot” As Siblings Plan Legal Defense Fund

The Associated Press reports:

Embattled former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has opened a new consulting firm called Resilient Patriot, LLC that is advising private equity firms, according to one of his brothers, who says Flynn is “moving on with his life.”

Joe Flynn said his family also is in the early stages of starting a fund to pay for the legal bills his brother is racking up as he sits at the center of multiple probes into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. “Mike’s not a millionaire, not even close,” Joe Flynn told The Associated Press this week. “This situation has put him in a tough spot financially. This is going to cost him a lot of money.”

“There’s a lot of people that are big fans of his across the country,” he added. Several of Flynn’s siblings plan to administer the fund for the retired Army lieutenant general, and are working on setting up a website and consulting with a lawyer about the legal intricacies of such a fund. Joe Flynn said they want to “be as transparent as possible” and do it properly.
