Amen! That is EXACTLY what needed to happen!

Apologies, but, to illustrate, I’m going to plagiarize myself here. I posted the following in response to a post that characterized Mike Flynn as a “comparatively small fish”:

“You may consider Mike Flynn a comparatively small fish, but Flynn’s opponents do not. Flynn posed a clear and immediate threat to the Intelligence Community and most of its 17 member agencies and departments. He saw, firsthand, the manner in which intelligence was cooked to fit a political narrative or delayed due to political and interagency considerations and that it cost American and coalition lives.

Flynn’s appointment as National Security Advisor was way outside the norm. Virtually every previous National Security Advisor, going back at least to the Reagan administration, had served on the NSC Staff at least once and most were Ivy Leaguers or graduates of Harvard’s Kennedy School (Rice was from Stanford) - and that includes the general officers, like Powell, Jones, etc.

[By comparison] Mike Flynn is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island and never served on the NSC staff. According to his official biography, “Flynn’s military career was PRIMARILY OPERATIONAL, with numerous combat arms, conventional and special operations senior intelligence assignments.” In other words, Flynn’s perspective was based on reality, not theory. He has authored numerous articles that were critical of the Obama administration’s policies and highly critical of the Intelligence Community, which were among the reasons he was removed from his position as Director of DIA early - by order of the Obama administration.”

I’d like to know your thoughts about Mike Flynn possibly being on special assignment to the President, undercover as it were to root out responsible parties for the leaks and other subversive acts.
