It seemed like Michael Flynn,Secret Pleasures (2002) Watch online the ousted White House national security adviser, wasn't going quietly after he resigned Monday night.

What appeared to be his Twitter account lit up with posts about his resignation and how Donald Trump and the country should move forward. But it turns out the endless commentary from the general was actually coming from an apparent parody account that had posted 69 times in just under two weeks.

It fooled elected officials and media alike.

On Monday, the account @GenMikeFlynn fired off a volley of tweets.

However, as news of Flynn's resignation was coming out, Flynn's official Twitter account was offline. The Washington Postreported that his official handle was removed Feb. 1. That also happens to be when the parody account appeared and started tweeting.

By Tuesday, the verified account seemingly reappeared -- but only after the confusingly similar but fake Flynn account got even top lawmakers all turned around.

Both House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings cited the fake Flynn's posts from Monday night about being a scapegoat during a news conference Tuesday.

Pelosi, who only heard about the tweet from Cummings' reference minutes before, really ripped into Flynn and his use of the word "scapegoat."

The New York Times, meanwhile, was among the media sites that quoted tweets from the fake account too.

Now that both handles -- the parody and Flynn's official account -- are up and running it's easier to see that one has Twitter's blue check mark indicating the account has been verified. And the fake account states subtly in its bio, "[Parody Account]."

While the real Flynn was away from Twitter the past two weeks, the parody account was having a field day impersonating him and being on a first name basis with Trump's cabinet and egregiously using the royal "we."

Now it's a waiting game to see if the real Flynn will finally tweet something -- he's stayed silent since before Christmas and definitely hasn't posted anything since Trump took office, let alone about his resignation.

His pinned tweet from last July does show his clairvoyance that Trump would prevail in November, but doesn't look like he saw himself getting the boot so quickly.
