WSJ Reports Flynn tried to plan to kidnap and ship to Turkey archrival of Turkeys leader

Get a load of this. Its like a James Patterson novel.
Long-retired former CIA Director James Woolsey was an adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign. He eventually quit during the transition period, diplomatically suggesting that his role had run its course. But he’s now publicly disclosing something which may have been a factor.
Last summer Michael Flynn brought Woolsey along to a meeting with representatives from the Turkish government, where they discussed theoretical plans for abducting Turkish dissident Fethullah Gulen from his home in Pennsylvania and shipping him back to Turkey.
During the same meeting, Flynn tried to hire Woolsey as a consultant to his firm, in the name of furthering this plot against Gulen.
Woolsey now says he was taken aback by what he overheard at the meeting, and he suspected that even the discussion about abducting Gulen was a crime. So he refused Flynn’s money, and instead he reported the meeting to the federal government (source: Wall Street Journal).

I can get outraged at lot of stuff, but hypothetical CIA tradecraft scenarios? Negative.

Maybe there is something to all the rumors today that Flynn has flipped and is talking to the FBI

Wow.
Flynn is a colossal a-hole.

Turkish dissident Fethullah Gulen
Some local Turkish politicians suggested last year that they should orschestate a surgical air strike on Gulen's home in PA. I laughed for a while when I read that.

Dude, he is repeating what earlier appeared in the Wall Street Journal. I just linked Palmerreport because the WSJ article is behind a paywall.

I've never read Palmer Report. The Flynn story was reported by the WSJ and the rumors of Flynn flipping are all over twitter. Even some analyst on CNN mentioned them.
I'm not saying they are true but it's very interesting considering the timing.

Gulen is a bad hombre. I wish they had done it to him. He is a cult leader and all the turkish run charter schools in the US are run by his people. This is verifiably true.

I'm beginning to think Flynn was an Obama plant sent in to sabotage Trump.
