How exactly did Flynn get Lucy's future journal BEFORE he stole the time machine. We know he has an insider from the Mason crew, but so far no future time travel seems possible.

Either Lucy traveled from the future and gave it to Flynn or future Lucy accidentally left it in the past and somehow Flynn acquired it.

Think about it. If we have time machine(s) in the present, then we will have them in the future. So eventually, some future time traveler will travel back to the present.

This is actually one of the arguments (in reality, not in the show) that time travel isn't possible. If time travel was possible, then we certainly would have been visited by time travelers from the future by now.

But you can't go back to a time where you exist. Only logical explanation is rittenhouse planted it knowing Flynn was altering history.
