Far-right blogger Scott McMahan posted a Foreign Agents Registration Act form Monday that was dated October 2025, and stated that Donald Trump’s former national security adviser was now making $100,000 per month from the Republic of Srpska. The confederated entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina is run by Milorad Dodik, a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Sebastian Gorka, the pugnacious far-right influencer angling to be the next head of the National Counterterrorism Center, pointed out that Flynn may very well have broken the law.

The real news here is that Flynn registered as a foreign agent in the first place.

Wait until MAGA finds out that someone else high up is a foreign agent...

j/k they'd never acknowledge it

Wait until they notice that AIPAC is a foreign agent.

No they don't. If his base would really start to protest against him the Republican party would ditch Trump immediately.

You've got it backwards.

The people behind Trump only support the GOP because the GOP aligns with them.

Look up the 'Dixiecrats,' hard core southern racists who thought they could hold the Democratic Party in thrall forever. When LBJ signed the Civil rights Act they flew to Nixon and his dog whistle "War On Drugs."

If the GOP leadership turns on Trump, the voters will turn on the GOP.
