The Wall Street Journal's editorial board is asking why former President Obama commented on the Justice Department's decision to drop the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn, asking "what he's really worried about."
"Barack Obama is a lawyer, so it was stunning to read that he ventured into the Michael Flynn case in a way that misstated the supposed crime and ignored the history of his own Administration in targeting Mr. Flynn," the editorial board wrote. "Since the former President chose to offer his legal views when he didn’t need to, we wonder what he’s really worried about."
The perspective comes after Attorney General William Barr dropped the charges of lying to the FBI against Flynn, President Trump's first national security adviser, after unsealed documents showed one bureau agent asking in a handwritten note whether the bureau's goal was to “to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired.”

The Journal also accused Obama of being "eager to distort the truth" ahead of an investigation being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham into the origins of the Russia investigation.
"Donald Trump’s victory increased the chances that this unprecedented spying on a political opponent would be uncovered, which would have been politically embarrassing at the very least. Targeting Mr. Flynn—and flogging the discredited Steele dossier—kept the Russia collusion pot boiling and evolved into the two-year Mueller investigation that turned up no evidence of collusion," the board states.

This of course is a distraction; to take the focus off what the Obama Gang did to subvert the process of justice as a means to destroy their enemies.
Let the a## nailing begin!
The real Obama phone call was probably to find out who was interviewed under oath about Obamagate, and what they told Durham .
Obama and friends are worried about their commissions paid to them for the money he stole from the treasury and gave to Iran being made public. Congress which controls money, never did an appropriations bill. Obama just did it. Funny how hypocritical Congress is?
Odumbo is worried about whether he will be sent to a maximum security prison of one of the cushy luxury hotel prisons.
Flynn was never on board with Obama’s Iran shenanigans. Flynn had to be targeted, ridiculed, polarized, frozen, and ruined along with his family. It’s the Obama / Alinsky way.
When caught, scream racism which will reach a fever pitch this Summer. Fighting in the streets seems inevitable and I’m ok with that. Politics is no longer a solution to our problems.
From the comments at The Hill, I think they reprinted the WSJ editorial to rile up the Dems because the WSJ was being played by Barr and President Trump. Geeze, these guys think the Steele dossier is mostly proven fact, among other crackpot things.
BINGO - Dogs return to their vomit ...
They need to create noise and confusion. They need to rally their radical base to destroy America and riot if Obama is indicted.
Can you imagine Obama trying to give Trump “good” advice on how to do hiring and firing? Whatever reason that BO had for disparaging Flynn is exactly the reason Trump SHOULD have hired him. Especially if it was Flynn’s opposition to that that treacherous Iran deal.
Not to mention the berserk lefties follow-up insanity .......the scam to impeach Pres Trump, complete with souvenir pens, no less.
Trump would pardon Obama. I can see it now. Trump the merciful! Obama the disgraced. But everyone else gets to rot in prison.
This has always been Hussein Ogabe’s calling card. He’s constantly giving press releases through phone calls designed to be “leaked” (ie, directly transmitted) to the fake news media to give a false appearance of earnestness and concern instead of what it really is: political and legal damage control
Mueller and his whole gang need to be indicted too! They knew early on there was no collusion yet they kept on going...why? We know why—they were part of the conspiracy!
Obama is worried, that’s why he wanted to get his “leaked” inaccurate comments aired.
Obama is not worried.
The GOP has had his back since they helped him usurp the Presidency.
And the lefty media lapdog dutifully comply....while President Trump must rely on twitter and bypass them.
To Gen Flynn
Start a go fund me page to pay for a lawsuit against Obama for defamation and malicious prosecution. Include Comey and others as well.
If the suit only gets through the discovery phase, that alone would be worth it. Air out the Dem’s dirty laundry for all to see.
There's a backstory here, I was researching this weekend, but didn't save all the links.
1) During the Bengazi raid, an FBI manager wanted to send a rescue team, she had done this before for other embassy confrontations, but McCaabe shot it down. (Her name escapes me)
2) Shortly after the Bengazi incident, she was cut out of meetings, etc - so she filed complaint
3)McCabe heard about the forthcoming complaint and filed an out-of-cycle negative performance review on her, before she could get the complaint filed
4)Flynn had worked with her, and wanted to testify at her hearing on her behalf - but was denied
I'm sure all this had something to do with the eventual retribution Obama and company pulled on Flynn
