Law & Crime reports:
Recently pardoned former National Security Advisor and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and Atlanta-based attorney L. Lin Wood joined a growing list of President Donald Trump’s devotees calling for martial law and having the military oversee a new presidential election.
Both Flynn and Wood tweeted their support for the effort to undermine the will of the American electorate, with the latter saying a U.S. civil war caused by China was inevitable. Attorneys noted that a former top U.S. intelligence official in Flynn was openly signing his name onto a military coup.
The movement stems from a full-page ad in the Washington Times that was taken out by a prominent Tea Party leader in Ohio who calls his group the We the People Convention. The ad erroneously claimed that Democrats “staged a four-year long coup” and illegally stole the election from President Trump.

This simply was not written by a sane cogent person. Imagine if he had remained as national security adviser. And now compare him in judgment and experience to @jakejsullivan . Foreign countries’, especially allies’, long nightmare also ending. https://t.co/Jhm1pYwE6V

Flynn and Wood, by endorsing this, are calling for mass arrests of political enemies and military force used to silence dissent. It’s breathtakingly morally treasonous to American values. pic.twitter.com/A1VwjlY2N0

Big pro-authoritarian energy in Trumpland today:
The president’s (recently pardoned) former national security adviser, Mike Flynn, shared a message encouraging President Trump to “temporarily suspend the Constitution,” impose martial law and “silence the destructive media.” pic.twitter.com/cQh0wl7oWw

The statement cheers Lincoln for trying to arrest a Supreme Court justice who disagreed with him (which many historians say never happened). And it says violence by Antifa and BLM – including haranguing people as they eat – means “we are literally under attack from within.” pic.twitter.com/QSZGLMPLEE
