Newly declassified portions of a key Susan Rice email confirm that Michael Flynn was personally targeted during a January 5 Oval Office meeting with Obama.

Michael Flynn was personally targeted during a crucial Jan. 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting arranged by then-President Barack Obama, a newly declassified document shows.

On Jan. 20, 2017, as President Donald Trump was being inaugurated, former White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice sent herself a bizarre email detailing the Jan. 5 meeting between her, Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden, then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and fired former Federal Bureau of Investigations Director James Comey. In the email, portions of which were not declassified until recently, Rice recorded that Flynn, who at the time was the incoming national security adviser for Trump, was personally discussed and targeted during the meeting with Obama.

“From a national security perspective, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.” At the time, the Obama administration was actively spying on members of the Trump team as part of its Crossfire Hurricane investigation against Trump.

“Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak,” Rice wrote in a portion of the email that was only recently declassified. “Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information.”

“President Obama asked if Comey was saying the NSC should not pass sensitive information related to Russia to Flynn,” Rice continued. “Comey replied ‘potentially.'”

“[Comey] added that he has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak, ..

Wrong. He said he would not prosecute based on what he knows now." He is keeping his powder dry.

“It doesn’t matter. Bagpipes Barr won’t do a damn thing.”

What? Mr. Barr is most impressive. Prepare to be dazzled.

Though Obama will not be prosecuted.... Shamed, but not prosecuted.

But the others in his cabal will not be as lucky... Comey, McCabe, Brennan, Yates, Strozk and work-love Page, Clapper, perhaps some FISC judges.....

The bell tolls for thee, can you hear it?

No, he’s not. We know enough already to prosecute and I am sure he knows even more.

But he gains nothing by saying it. He’s keeping it close to the vest.

“He’s keeping it close to the vest.”

Even in poker you have to show your cards sometime. It’s been nearly 4 years. He isn’t keeping anything close to his vest, he simply doesn’t have any intention of prosecutions.

GOOD FOR THE GOOSE--GOOD FOR THE GANDER

Trump needs to authorize his FBI to wiretap the Biden campaign under the suspicion of Chinese collusion and election interference.
There’s plenty of (cough) hard evidence in the form of Joe’s son Hunter......and Hunter’s billion dollar Chinese deals.

BACKSTORY On 29 Dec 2016, after Trump beat Hillary, then-Pres Obama signed an ex/order that expels 35 Russian diplomats,
locks down two Russian diplomatic compounds, and expands sanctions against Russia for its (cough) interference in the 2016 US elections.

Sanctioning Russians was done, I believe, to strengthen that backstory and attempt to demonstrate that Team Barry was serious (tee-hee), but all that "ammunition" has now been shown to have been wasted, except on Leftist, MSM-consumng drones, of course.

What was the Russians spent on FB ads? I'm pretty sure it was found to be $4700 in 2016.

If PDJT supporters heard that he used the "billion-dollar surveillance apparat" tit-for-tat the way Team Barry used it, a significant portion would not sacrifice blood and treasure the way they otherwise would--and as may yet be needed.

Team Barry certainly has earned such "karma," but many would limit themselves to take a course that could assure such things never happen again. Such god-fearing "do-gooders" would make any perpetrators feel the pain, at a very minimum through not giving them their votes.
