Overview
- A string of advisory-board exits at Project Defend & Protect Our Children became public in early June with Liz Crokin saying she resigned on June 8, Lynz Piper-Loomis revealing a resignation she had made earlier, and lawyer Ben Moore quitting on June 11.
- Crokin publicly claimed she had “receipts” when she announced her departure and Flynn family members appeared surprised by the news, with Michael Flynn Jr. replying “???" to her post.
- The project was created inside Michael Flynn’s nonprofit America’s Future and had been populated with fringe activists and conspiracy-linked figures, and the group previously hosted QAnon-themed screenings at Mar‑a‑Lago.
- Participants and allies offer conflicting explanations for the split, with one supporter calling it a personal dispute described as a “drunk night” while others deny that account and several involved have posted cryptic messages on X.
- The resignations have caused public disillusionment among former insiders and raise questions about the organization’s stability and credibility, and reporters and observers are watching for further disclosures or formal statements from Flynn’s group.
