VICTORY LAP: Criminal investigation against me is dropped!

Truth prevails: I was completely honest in my filing. This was a political hit job, showing coordination between Democrat lawfare and the Flynn network.

They tried to break me with a lie. They failed.

Last night, The Lapeer County Press finally published the truth: the so-called “felony charge” against me has been dropped. What they buried in paragraph three—and what every responsible journalist should have led with—is this: I was never charged. I was never arraigned. I never broke the law.

But the damage they helped unleash was real.

This “story” began with a politically timed, anonymously sourced hit job published under the guise of journalism. I was told that my accusers were “elected officials” but no indications of which ones.

Just two weeks after I confronted Democrats for defending sexual grooming propaganda in the childrens’ section of the public library, the Democrat special prosecutor leaked to the County Press that I had been charged with a felony. The biggest problem with that story is that I have never been publicly charged or arraigned.

Within hours of being published on a website that almost nobody reads, the story was picked up and amplified by the Flynn media network—Ivan Raiklin, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Lara Logan, Joe Oltmann, David Clements, Kyle Sepharin, and many others—who were all too eager to smear me without facts. Roger Stone called me “human garbage,” Lara Logan called me a liar. Ann Vandersteel called me a “Brennan troll.” And the Christian nationalist forced retired 3 star general called me a “horses a$$[sic]” while bearing false witness against me.

A small sampling of Flynn Network slander posts against me.

Their posts reached over half a million people on X alone, triggering threats against my family, attacks on my reputation, and a wave of coordinated harassment that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I have reported death threats and what I believe to be criminal stalking, slander, and cyber attacks to the Michigan State Police and the FBI.

The same voices who preach about free speech and the weaponization of government were happy to weaponize lies and try to silence mine.

Not one of them paused to ask a basic question: Is this true?

The truth is that my affidavit was completely lawful. I live at the address I filed. Period. The so-called “investigation” was little more than an effort to discredit me during a politically charged moment—conveniently timed just after I took a stand against sexual grooming content in our public library and continued my reporting on deep state infiltration by the Flynn network.

The Flynn network, while claiming to be anti-grooming, supports political persecution motivated by my anti-grooming comments

Below is a video where I laid out my arguments against the grooming materials. At the next meeting, five of the seven Republicans on the board rejected my advice and the will of their voters and voted for the Occupy Democrats supporter for the library board. The County Press never reported on my comments or any of the public comments against these materials or the candidate they selected.

The Flynn network raises millions of dollars in donations from American citizens with their claim that they are fighting grooming and trafficking of children. They claim “Local Action National Impact.” And yet they jumped on board with Democrat political persecution against a local commissioner who is actually fighting grooming and trafficking.

How the investigation was dropped

I do believe there was a kernel of truth in that original story: the prosecutor was planning to have me arraigned. The paper called me to inform me of the “charges” late Friday afternoon. After seeking advice from a variety of lawyers and experts, I retained the very best criminal defense attorney in my region the next Tuesday morning, and their work on my case - along with the fact they never had a case because I was completely honest in my filing - were undoubtedly factors in charges never being filed.

Let me be perfectly clear: I’m not going anywhere. I will continue to expose what others are afraid to say out loud. I will continue to challenge corruption—on the right and left. And I will do it boldly, because I fear God, not men.

I want to thank The County Press for finally publishing a correction, even if they did so with gritted teeth and half-truths. Their willingness to admit error, however late and awkward, is probably more than I’ll ever be able to say about the Flynn network.

This is a victory—but not just for me. It’s a victory for truth, for the rule of law, and for everyone who's tired of watching good people get crushed by false narratives.

To my supporters: thank you for standing firm. To my critics: I forgive you.

Now on to my next story.
