Michael Flynn doesn't have a new job at a lobbying firm, after all

Grab a drink and have a seat, because you'll want to settle in for this odd story about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

On Tuesday afternoon, The Wall Street Journal reported that Flynn and his son, Michael Flynn Jr., were joining Stonington Global LLC, a new lobbying and consulting firm. Many thought it was peculiar that the company would hire a man who pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators and is waiting to be sentenced, but one of Stonington Global's founders, Joey Allaham, told the Journal the elder Flynn "has experience all over the world. He can do a lot for us. We are very lucky to get a man like that."
