Michael Flynn fired from local KFC after trying to steal secret ingredients

Filed · 1535

WASHINGTON — Just one month after being forced from his post in the Trump White House, former National Security Adviser and self-professed lycanthrope Michael Flynn was fired again yesterday, this time from his job working at a local KFC.

While KFC refused to comment on the details of Flynn's dismissal, calling it an internal matter, store employees say it was prompted after managers caught him trying to steal the secret ingredients to the company's fried chicken, allegedly to sell to Russian intelligence officials.

Security camera footage seen by reporters show Flynn stuffing pieces of both original and extra-crispy chicken down his pants, along with several documents which he claimed would reveal "the real truth" behind Col. Sanders' military career.
