…Calls ruling ‘Election Interference’, predicts USSC ‘ll throw it out in 9:0 decision
Michael Thomas Flynn, a retired United States Army Lieutenant General, who was the 24th U.S. national security advisor, has sharply criticised the decision of the Colorado State Supreme Court to ban and exclude leading Republican aspirant, Donald Trump, from next year’s Presidential Election.
The Court in a split 4/3 ruling made an unprecedented decision to exclude Trump from the race in the state on the ground that he is guilty of insurrection following his supporters attack on the Capitol.
But writing on X, Gen Flynn said the Colorado Supreme Court has set a very bad precedent and he expected the US Supreme Court to throw it out in a massive 9-0 ruling.
Below is his full post
“President Trump has never been convicted of any crime. This Colorado Supreme Court decision is a clear violation of not only his rights, but the rights of the American voter to vote for the candidate of their choice. This decision is what ELECTION INTERFERENCE looks like!
“A key and important quote from the dissent of those CO Supreme Court judges voting against this unconstitutional decision comes from no less than a democrat Justice, Judge Samour—in his dissent he wrote:
“I have been involved in the justice system for thirty-three years now, and what took place here doesn’t resemble anything I’ve seen in a courtroom.”
“I fully expect the USSC to throw this case out, it should be a 9-0 vote (we’ll see) and a decision must be made immediately to reinstate Trump because ballots for Colorado are supposed to go to print in early January. And this should shut down all the other states foolish enough to violate our constitution—this all has to stop and stop now!
“Stay Steady America…we still have lady justice on our side and she will not relent as long as #WeThePeople remain firm in our determination to never give in to the soulless minority that wishes to “fundamentally transform” America into a communist country,” he wrote.
Gen Michael Thomas Flynn was National Security Advisor for the first 22 days of the Trump administration.
He resigned in light of reports that he had lied regarding conversations with Russian ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak.
Flynn’s military career included a key role in shaping U.S. counterterrorism strategy and dismantling insurgent networks in the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, and he was given numerous combat arms, conventional, and special operations senior intelligence assignments. He became the 18th director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in July 2012 until his forced retirement from the military in August 2014.
During his tenure he gave a lecture on leadership at the Moscow headquarters of the Russian military intelligence directorate GRU, the first American official to be admitted entry to the center.
The Colorado Supreme Court decision has come under severe criticisms since it was pronounced.
