Mike Flynn endorses the selling of QAnon merchandise that pays into his legal defense fund with supporters saying buying t-shirts and hats helps pardoned ex-national security adviser 'in the fight against fake news'
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, is promoting QAnon merchandise, which is being sold to boost his legal defense fund.
On Tuesday, Flynn tweeted about the site TheShirtShowUSA, which sells hats and t-shirts branded with Flynn's name and branded with the QAnon slogan 'WWG1WGA,' which stands for 'where we go one, we go all.'
'Each purchase helps General Flynn and his army of Digial Soldiers in the fight against fake news. You can make a difference in the fight. Purchase official General Flynn and Digital Soldiesr Media merch here and share this link,' read a tweet Flynn had highlighted.
Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's original national security adviser, has further leaned in to his support of the QAnon conspiracy theory, endorsing a merchandise website that sells only pro-Flynn and QAnon t-shirts and hats

The Daily Beast first reported that the merch included the well-known QAnon slogan.
Other merchandise on the site says 'General Flynn #JusticeForAll' and '#FightLikeAFlynn.'
The site contains a warning that the store was facing 'high order volume' and warned of shipping delays.
On Twitter, users mulled whether it was a 'high end grift.'
Trump pardoned Flynn on Thanksgiving eve of this year, as he's slowly pardoned all of his allies associated with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.
Earlier this month a judge tossed out Flynn's remaining legal case because the pardon made it moot.
Believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory have floated that Flynn could be 'Q,' the 'deep state' insider who leaves online clues to expose the pedophilia ring of Satan worshippers who are out to get Trump.
Like 'pizzagate,' the QAnon conspiracy's predecessor, those carrying out the bad acts are Hollywood elite and Democratic politicians.
In the last six months, Flynn has leaned in to his folk hero status among the Q set.
In July, he posted video where he took an oath, but ended it with the phrase 'where we go one, we go all.'
He's also appeared on QAnon podcasts since getting pardoned by Trump.
Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell has become a central character in the president's bizarre attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, threatening at one point to 'unleash the kraken.'
Flynn has been a player in this saga too, suggesting that the president impose martial law and have the military rerun the election instead of giving power up to President-elect Joe Biden, the winner of the presidential election despite Trump's loud protests.
