SSG Robert Mark Odom TRAITOR!
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said there is "no reason" a coup could not happen in the United States.
During a right-wing conference in Dallas called the "For God & Country Patriot Roundup" over the weekend, the former White House national security adviser was asked by someone in the audience, who identified as a " simple Marine": "Why what happened in Myanmar can't happen here?"
After cheers erupted in the crowd, Flynn replied, "No reason. I mean, it should happen here."
The military seized control of Myanmar in February, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi and effectively putting commander in chief Min Aung Hlaing in power while pushing disputed claims that the November election in the Southeast Asian country was fraudulent.
With junta forces cracking down on protests, more than 800 people have died in the following months, and more than 4,000 have been detained, according to the advocacy group Assistance Association for Political Prisoners.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken's team said in February that the political crisis in Myanmar "constitutes a military coup d'etat" and called on the country's military leadership to release the heads of government "and all other detained civil society and political leaders — immediately and unconditionally."
Flynn, who was pardoned by former President Donald Trump in November after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations he had with a Russian envoy, has pushed the notion that the 2020 election in the U.S. was fraudulent as well and in December argued Trump could use "military capabilities" and "rerun" the election in swing states.
State and federal officials have roundly disputed the claims of widespread election fraud.

SMSgt Mark Venzeio - Sec of State Kerry lasted more than 27 days, and he never called for the overthrow of the U.S. government, or consort with enemies of his country, or believe or promote cult propaganda. And he sure as hell outranks Flynn!
