It looks like General Flynn deleted some tweets (I do not track him so any archiving would be great) that relate to our investigation. The link mentioned at the top of the WaPo article (https://twitter.com/GenFlynn/status/794000841518776320)) shows it to be deleted. General Flynn's deleted tweet pointed to an interesting article.
To show this is not a fabricated report by me, I am linking it to a December 5 WaPo hit piece about Flynn's son, which I can see right now. It actually references the now-deleted tweets. I have created archived links, but I want help trying to get archived links for the actual tweets by General FLynn. You can find the WaPo article with this Google search on its title: "Michael Flynn tweet wasn't actually about #PizzaGate, but his son is now defending the baseless conspiracy theory"
EDIT:
Snip from WaPo article:
"Here's Flynn's tweet:
U decide - NYPD Blows Whistle on New Hillary Emails: Money Laundering, Sex Crimes w Children, etc...MUST READ! [I am filtering out the referenced twitter link here as VOAT blocked this link as a "banner domain" - I think because the WaPo link used a URL shortener.]
— General Flynn (@GenFlynn) November 3, 2016"
Further down the article, WaPo shows two other tweets from the General related to all of this on Dec 2 (linking to Hillary) and Dec 4 (pointing to imminent NYPD arrests).
We need to document these cases of clear history scrubbing on social media and documentation of the MSM reporting as proof that it has happened.

The link above monitors changes to politicians tweets. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL!
Edit : Well, derram proved me wrong. And the site I used appears to be compromised as well. Fuck!

I provided the link to the live Washington Post article citing the tweets. Even if the tweets were manufactured, as you initially thought, it would be evidence then of "fake news" propagated by the MSM. Either way, providing this evidence is helpful in demonstrating the lie of the "fake news" narrative.

Absolutely agree. I've also kept my post up for the fact that
I was wrong and hasty.
That it demonstrates external sources need verification as well.
But, the core context that I was arguing was his words, not the content of them.

I see the correction but do not understand your final sentence above: "But, the core context that I was arguing was his words, not the content of them."

that the tweets erased were about a side story on pizzagate. I've seen too many stories based on tweets that an individual hasn't created in the first place, then ran as if they were. Without an archived example of the tweet from the source I'm not to fond of taking the rest of the story at face value. So, even if it was referenced in the article I still wouldn't believe it. Just complete and utter ugh at the news these days.

I get it. The article itself showed the images of the tweets. I understand not trusting even that since it was WaPo. This is why I asked for someone to post the archives of the tweets, which someone kindly did:

I appreciate your diligence and skepticism to keep us on track. We are all on the same side...unless you are CTR :).
