Flynn is controlled opposition, and so here he's used to discredit Q: a deep-cover asset used against an important target. His declaration is not "breaking news", as he said the same thing to Lin Wood in private communications that Wood revealed like a year or two ago (again, in an effort to get Wood back "on side"). TGP and everyone else seems to have forgotten this.

There's a load of interesting evidence against Flynn, but most people aren't at all interested in evidence these days. The point I would bring up against him is this: for a "patriot" that ran the DIA for two years, and ran intel for JSOC before that, when has Flynn revealed any secret, anything you would not otherwise have known had he not disclosed it? I can't think of a single thing.

For comparison, one can look at examples like Bill Binney and Thomas Drake. When you hear them talk, you think, "Holy shit, is that what was going on on the inside?"
