⭐ Aug 22 2025 – Gen Flynn w/ Lara Logan > Indictments Coming For RussiaGate & Election Interference

TRANSCRIPT

Cold Open

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: We may be done. I’m not sure if we can recover from that, and we’re really in a tough spot right now because we got wars overseas, a war going on in this country, we have war inside of our institutions. It is so bad and yet we stand here and we talk about the GOP as something that they should be fixing these problems, and they’re not.

Interview Transcript

Lara Logan: Welcome to the latest episode of Going Rogue with Lara Logan. My guest today is a man who really doesn’t need an introduction, someone I’ve known for more than 20 years and consider a good friend. He is America’s General. I call him the George Washington of Today, General Flynn.

I want to get right to it. There is a lot of talk about indictments, and nobody knows better than you how significant this is. I was shocked, last night listening to Judge Napolitano on Newsmax with a guest putting this off as “politics as usual”, and “people shouldn’t expect anyone to go to prison”, that “this is kind of fantasy”.

I would love to hear your response to that.

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: Yeah, I didn’t see the episode, but let me just tell you, Lara, that there has to be an indictment. There have to be people that are held accountable for what they did to this country, never mind to each of us, right? People like me, my family, Trump, his family, and many, many others whose families were destroyed.

So, I do think that there’s going to be some discussion about whether or not to go after Barack Obama, as a President. I’m not going to get into that Constitutional debate.

But people like John Brennan, Jim Comey, Jim Clapper, Susan Rice, and many others, I do think that we’re also going to see with what Ed Martin is doing, people like Fani Willis, who is the District Attorney in Georgia, the Attorney General in New York. I think that people like Jack Smith, who did the Mar-a-Lago Raid and was the quote-unquote “Special Counsel” against President Trump. I think we’re going to see indictments of those individuals.

There are grand juries already in place that I’m aware of. One is in Florida, one is in, I believe, is in Washington, D.C., another is in New York, and there’s a potential one in Pennsylvania. And I think the one in Pennsylvania may be for what I believe is going to be an even bigger bomb, that’s going to come out here, and that has to do with the 2020 election.

So, people look at Russiagate as the attempted coup. The actual coup was the 2020 election. And, I mean, they did it. They effected a coup against the country, and they put a person in place who we now know was essentially brain dead, and I’m being a little bit facetious, but he clearly had mental health problems.

So, there is going to be accountability, for sure, on some of those names that I mentioned. And I think that if there isn’t accountability – which I seriously doubt – but if there isn’t, for some reason these people are able to walk away from all this, then our country is gone.

No matter what President Trump does, he must hold these people accountable.

And in some cases, Lara, it can be, or they can be held accountable for National Security reasons, not just reasons that are Conspiracy or Fraud or Racketeering or things like that, that we typically hear about, but for purposes of National Security and undermining a Duly-Elected President, which is very clear.

Now, last point, and I’ll stop. I just got another batch of documents that the FBI just released. So, they’re not even going, they’re not even waiting on FOIAs anymore. They’re just starting to release tranches of documents. So, I have a member of my team that’s looking at things that are just related to me.

And so, now we see the conversation that I think it was Andy McCabe had with Mike Pence and Reince Priebus, who I think both of those latter names, Pence and Priebus, I actually think they were a part of my problem, for sure. And we now know, exactly what those conversations were, because they’re documented, and now they’re public.

And so, the FBI clearly, and in this case, Andy McCabe, and then another name that a lot of people don’t remember, but Sally Yates, who was the Acting Attorney General for a while, they basically, they lied to the Vice President and Chief of Staff to the President, Reince Priebus, or those two, when they read whatever document that they were presented, they misinterpreted or they misread it.

But something, it’s black and white now. It’s very clear that particular conversation, because that’s the conversation that happened in the situation room of the White House that led to my resignation as the National Security Advisor. That started the ball rolling toward really the worsening of the Russiagate situation.

It didn’t, you know, Trump believed when I left Lafayette that it was going to go away. Actually, it began in earnest. And so, the previous stuff that happened, what we now know from back in August of 2016, December of 2016, early January of 2017, these are meetings with Barack Obama and John Brennan and other members of Barack Obama’s team where they set this conspiracy to undermine and basically to take over the country from a Duly Elected President.

There’s no more theories about this. It is in black and white. And in fact, the word that’s been used, two words that have been used, one is “Treason” and one is “Coup”.

And those have been used by both the President of the United States, the current one, Trump, and by the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. So, there’s even more to come, but people are going to have to be held accountable.

Lara Logan: But Mike, isn’t that a Seditious Conspiracy?

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: 100%. 100%. And it started prior to Trump being elected in 2016. So, if Trump had lost, Hillary would have won, and frankly, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Lara Logan: No, she made that clear, right? She said, “The basket of deplorables.” She basically rolled out a target list. And that’s why Trump has always said, “It’s not really about me, it’s about the American people, and I’m just standing in the way.”

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: Exactly. Exactly. And so, what we have learned is that these people wanted to take the country in a completely different way.

As Barack Obama has said, he wanted to “Fundamentally transform” the United States of America. He wanted to make this country into a Socialist nation. These people are ready to eliminate the Constitution. They don’t care about our current rule of law. They have allowed an ungodly amount of illegals to come into our country.

Thank God we’re still big enough and strong enough, and we’re smart enough, as the American people did, to re-elect Donald Trump as the 47th president.

But had he not come back, and we’d be living with somebody else, we’d all be in jail right now, including him. And he knows it. That’s right.

Lara Logan: Me too.

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: So, during that period of time, when he was the 45th president, he was so beat about the head and shoulders with Russia that he could not do the things that he needed to do in order to end the war in Ukraine then, or in order to do the things that are happening in the Middle East now. He couldn’t do those things, because he was so badly damaged as a president with the ‘Russia! Russia! Russia!’

And everybody back then said, the media especially said, “Oh, he’s a spy!” I’m a “traitor”, all these different words that they threw. And then, they stole the country, and they did it with the 2020 election. That was the coup.

The attempted coup was 2016, and in 2017. The actual coup was 2020 and 2021. And then, the American People finally started to wake up. And we started to wake up with people, like himself and the others in the Alternative Media.

And the American People really did make the 2024 election for president a “Too-Big-to-Rig” election, because the American People were like, “We can’t have Kamala Harris as our President!” Imagine that!

So, here we are. All of this is being unraveled or unfolded and exposed. And I actually think that one of the biggest problems that we face, it’s not the Democrats any longer.

It’s not the fact that these people still exist and they’re still walking on the streets. It’s actually the lack or the weakness of the GOP. And the GOP leaders, and I’m talking about the Establishment: the Speaker of the House, and the members of the House, and certainly the Senate.

Both those houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives, they’re controlled by Republicans. They should be tearing these people apart. They should be holding investigations. They should be dragging them in. They didn’t do that, the last two years when they were in charge, right? When the House was in charge, they didn’t do it?

So, they’re not doing anything right now. We’re seven months into this election or into this presidency and we’ve seen nothing out of that. So, I’m concerned. I’m concerned that President Trump, as much as he wants to do, to hold these people accountable, and he’s going to have to, the American People are not going to let these people get away with it.

And they’re not going to let him get away with it. They’re not going to let President Trump get away with it.

Lara Logan: Mike, some people would say you’re being kind, right, about Pence and Priebus and the Republicans who are in charge of the House and the Senate now, because this is now a familiar playbook.

We see this over and over again. We just saw this in Texas with Governor Abbott. There’s all this talk about, “Oh, we’re going to vacate the congressional seats of these Democrats who fled the House.” And what happened? They didn’t do any of that. Nothing.

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: And so, yeah, you see this in Texas. You’re going to see this in other parts of the country, especially if these members of the State House of Texas get away with it. If they come back in, if they trickle back into Texas and nothing happens, I saw some things the other day where AG Paxton is now going after some of these people with legal cause, right? And I think that that’s going to have to happen. We have got to stop this movement that is a movement towards a Marxist, Communist state, here in the United States of America.

And part of that intent is clearly demonstrated in the number of illegals that they allowed into this country to vote. I mean, never mind what’s happening out in California, it’s happening in Florida. It’s happening in Texas and all the big Swing States, right? North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan. I mean, all these places. So everybody better wake up out there.

You’re a listening audience, the audience that hears these clips or whatever. We have got to get people so involved in being citizens again. Otherwise, we’re going to lose this country.

Trump has three and a half years left, and those three and a half years are going by very fast. They’re already going by very fast because the next thing it’s going to be Midterms.

Lara Logan: You know, right now, the Senate just, I mean, they just undermined the President. They prevented him from doing recess appointments. They did that specifically for that one single purpose. I mean, that should tell everyone in the country that the establishment Republicans are undermining President Trump, which to me is evidence of an ongoing seditious conspiracy, and they have a role in it.

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: Yeah. You know, I don’t doubt that they have a role in it. The one thing that they do have a role in is they have a role in trying to help a Duly Elected President of their own party. And they so despise Donald J Trump, because he doesn’t represent who they are, which is a political class in this country that has gotten into power. And all they want to do is hold onto power and be able to benefit financially, be able to benefit through letters of power that they hold on to.

Lara Logan: And they look down on the people, Mike.

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: The members of the House, especially, have got to do some soul searching because I can tell you, as we roll into 2026, there’s a lot of people that are reaching out to me that are veterans, many veterans, but others, too, who are now running for office because we are sick and tired of the people that are in Washington, D.C. They’re not supporting this president, and they need to. I mean, my God, if we don’t get this fixed, this is not politics as usual. If we go back to a left government, and I don’t like to use the word Democrat anymore because it doesn’t exist, but if we go back to some government that is left-leaning, we may be done.

I’m not sure if we can recover from that. And we’re really in a tough spot right now because we’ve got wars overseas. We have a war going on in this country.

We have war inside of our institutions, for sure. We have the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party that is up our rear ends here in this country, inside of our country. And they’re killing people on the streets of America with the likes of fentanyl as a weapon system.

I mean, it is so bad, and yet, we stand here and we talk about the GOP as something that they should be fixing these problems, and they’re not. They should be helping this President. Whatever this President decides to do to get stuff done, they ought to be helping him.

And there’s probably a handful inside the Congress that are actually doing that. And the rest of them, I mean, I wonder what guys like Jim Jordan is doing, right? House Judiciary. He hasn’t brought one of these people in from Russiagate.

Not one. It’s outrageous.

Lara Logan: Mike, how much of the GOP, how many of them are on the CCP’s payroll? How many of them are compromised?

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: I don’t know, but that’s a good question. But the numbers that are compromised, I think people would be sick to their stomach to find out how high of a percentage of that is in our country. It’s very sad. So anyway, I’m at the airport and I gotta go.

Lara Logan: Let me ask you one last thing. Adam Schiff is still suggesting that Trump is being handled by Vladimir Putin. Is that not evidence of an ongoing seditious conspiracy?

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: 100%. And Adam Schiff should be censured and impeached from the Senate, right now. Soon, we should start that. But again, why isn’t the GOP stepping-up to shut this guy down and get him off the stage? He’s been lying to the American people for years. This guy needs to go to jail.

Lara Logan: Yeah. Thank you so much, Mike. I know you got to catch a plane. Travel safely and God bless.

Lt Gen Mike Flynn: Alright. See ya.

Lara Logan: OK. Bye-bye.
