The plot against Trump had deep roots dating back to General Michael Flynn’s career

Why 0bama put a target on General Flynn’s back.

WaEX: Attorney General William Barr is trying to figure out how the Trump-Russia collusion investigation got started. He may find a more complicated story than he suspects. It may well be that ill-willed FBI and CIA agents working against Trump evolved from a much narrower scheme that targeted Michael Flynn long before Donald Trump brought Flynn on to his team, first as a campaign adviser, and then as head of the national security council.

Life does not run in a straight line, and top officials in the intelligence community long had it in for Flynn, ever since he changed the way we did intelligence against al Qaeda in Iraq, and then against the Taliban and Iranian-supported terrorists in Afghanistan. The changes put both intelligence-gathering and anti-terrorist operations primarily under battlefield control, significantly diminishing the power of Washington-based intel officers. These high-ranking officials remained hostile thereafter, as Flynn moved to the headquarters of national intelligence, and then to the Defense Intelligence Agency.

He was essentially fired from the Defense Intelligence Agency by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who told him he should retire. This came on the heels of Flynn’s sworn congressional testimony criticizing the Obama administration’s failed Afghanistan policy. This showed, once again, that Flynn understood how badly we were doing, and would not collude with the intelligence community. Indeed, he intended to carry out an audit of covert funding since the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency (none has been done in all those years). more

  1. I’m betting they’ll never touch Obama.
    Or Hillary.
    The rest, maybe. Barr & Durham will get whoever is chosen to take the fall.
    Obama will still be playing golf. Poorly.

  2. Wow, the left just kept pulling harder and harder on that rubber band..

    SNAP!

    That’s what endemic corruption and arrogance can do.

    Now pray for justice or the entire system fails.
