Because they're best friends.

The matter of Gen. Michael Flynn began with criminal conduct. But it was not committed by Flynn. The crimes were leaking the contents of classified telephone conversations between Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and revealing the identity of Flynn as a party to the conversations.
The sorry saga began with a January 12, 2017 column about the Flynn/Kislyak conversations by The Washington Post’s David Ignatius, who described his source as a “senior U.S. government official,” i.e., an Obama administration functionary. Whoever told Ignatius the fact of and substance of the eavesdropped conversations committed a felony by leaking classified information.
The second crime is publicly revealing a U.S. citizen’s identity as being a party to those conversations. When there is authorized intelligence collection of foreign officials, the identity of the U.S. person who is incidentally picked up during that collection is to be minimized (not disclosed), even within the U.S. government. Instead of the party’s name, the document substitutes “[U.S. Person].” There is a process for “unmasking”—obtaining the name of the undisclosed person--when the government official determines knowing the name is important to national security. A written request must be made to the collecting agency that is responsible for the document. Only a handful of officials are given that authority, e.g. NSA has only 20. Perhaps there was a valid need for an Obama official to know Flynn’s identity. That issue is irrelevant. Providing it to Ignatius was a crime.

Yes, among other things. Obama surely massaged the egos of those who, like him, have their egos intertwined with their connections to DC and government, and their academic pedigrees. Idiots convinced they are superior. What a combination.
Cuz that’s his job
Kill the other guy before he unearths the truth
Because our government is seriously corrupt.
[ Why has Mueller ignored Obama administration crimes? ]
Because those crimes will incriminate Mueller and his buddies?
I was saying when the leak of classified info first came out about Flynn in Jan. 2017 that a felony had been committed by one or more “senior” officials in the OBAMA admin. Of course, the MSM, Democraps, and RINOs could care less, because their only interest was/is with conducting anti-American political warfare vs. the Trump MAGA team.
THe double-standards (and lack of standards) are pervasive: Libtards can get away with just about anything. Usually, the only time Democraps or MSM types might be held to account is when they mistakenly cross swords with someone more powerful in the Democrap world (as happened with the Democrat Atty General of PA, who is now going to jail).
Seth Rich?
Amazing the number of talking heads that seem to be CLUELESS about what when on during the 8 years of O’muslim’s treason regime
And don’t fire Mueller, right vicky? It’s much better to let him finish his coup and present his impeachment report to congress. /s
Not sure if they are actually friends but they are surely co-conspirators.

Obongo and his muses spread illegally obtained intelligence around like monkeys pitching scat about their cages. That is exactly where so many of them belong.
When your former senior advisor Valerie Jarrett moves in with you after you leave the WH.....?
Because he is doing the job that Rod Rosenstein defined after Sen. Warner and his cohorts insisted...investigate possible Russian involvement in the Trump campaign only.
YES, and NOW Sen. Warren must turn in his resignation.
Because he’d go down with him.
A few reasons:
He’s their token black and they are thin skinned and afraid of being called racist. (Teasing/name calling, works for those who are too chicken to have a mind of their own)...
Obama used the power of the government (including the IRS) to keep all of his media and congress and all other places and things... in check. . while he committed all his crimes.
Between threatening anyone who might have wanted to rat... and the color of his skin... he got a free pass.
It’s discusting to realize so many adults.. who will give in to a tyrant.. and in his 8 years, he gave the black race the right to riot, stalk, go after police... and hate.
He also gave the government he had at his service.. the example how to screw the rest of the United States Population! If comey and et al were not corrupted before obama.. they certainly had someone who showed them how. between obama/holder and hillary.. it was the most corrupt group in charge ever in our country. If Trump had not been elected, our country would have had its last gasp... it was that far gone.
I’d like to know what Mulehead did to get Bulger killed in a Federal prison. Killed to keep secrets secret? Where ARE those “investigative journalists”, anyway.
