-clearance, rip title. [quote]Retired Gen. Michael Flynn was paid $11,250 by Russia's top cybersecurity firm, Kaspersky, in 2015, according to new documents obtained and published by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Thursday. Flynn was also paid $11,250 by the Russian charter cargo airline Volga-Dnepr Airlines, according to the documents. Flynn was paid for his work with both companies while he still had top-secret-level security clearance, a year after he was fired as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, The Wall Street Journal's Shane Harris reported. Kaspersky said in a statement provided to Business Insider that the company had "paid Gen. Flynn a speaker fee for remarks at the 2015 Government Cybersecurity Forum in Washington, DC." Another keynote speaker, Rep. Michael McCaul, was not paid by Kaspersky to speak at the event, his representative confirmed to Business Insider on Thursday. Kaspersky said that was because Flynn was a member of a speakers bureau that required a speaking fee, whereas McCaul was not. Chris Haddad, another keynote speaker at the forum, told Business Insider he can't remember if Kaspersky paid him to speak at the event.[/quote] source: [url]http://www.businessinsider.com/mike-flynn-and-russia-2017-3[/url] You might remember Kapersky's involvement with the Russian government in 2017 from [url=http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/01/25/top-manager-russian-cybersecurity-firm-arrested/97029796/]this.[/url]

[QUOTE=ZakkShock;51972603]Can we hang this bastard for treason yet?[/QUOTE] Yeah, right around when we hang Bush, Cheney, Obama, and Hillary. Once people start getting hung for treason, a lot of people are gonna get more skittish than a skitty.

If it's true that Flynn sold out an American Spy to the Russians, he should be trialed for it. That needs to be investigated.

Phew.

Phew.[/QUOTE] Being bought and paid for by special interests doesn't really seem like that much of a step up from what's happening right now IMO. Either way the elections are fucked and need some serious reforms if Russia actually managed to manipulate the election in any major way. Maybe the elections wouldn't be so easy to manipulate if the electoral system wasn't shaped by greedy fucks allowing it to be easily exploited by the highest bidder.

this is clear evidence that we need to reboot our entire clearance protocols and start fresh with stricter classification - while upholding transparency legally and efficiently. also Jail these Fuckers.
