EXCLUSIVE: In ..Interview, Defiant Flynn Insists He Crossed No Lines, Leakers Must Be Prosecuted
The Daily Caller ^ | 02/14/2017 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 02/14/2017 1:37:20 PM PST by ForYourChildren

In the final hours before his resignation, now-former White House National Security Adviser Michael T. Flynn said he “crossed no lines” in his discussion with Russia’s ambassador, but ultimately he was most concerned about the steady stream of leaks to reporters based on classified information.

“In some of these cases, you’re talking about stuff that’s taken off of a classified system and given to a reporter. That’s a crime,” Flynn told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group during a telephone interview from his White House office on Monday.

“You call them leaks. It’s a criminal act. This is a crime. It’s not just a wink and a nod,” Flynn said.

I believe the Trump Administration is aggressively pursuing the leakers and will get them. There’s a lot of ways that can be done but I won’t mention them here.

Remember when they launched pussygate and they approached Pence to help depose Trump. They are doing the same now.

Pence is to Trump, what Bush was to Reagan. A GOPe watchdog intended to shape Trump to their will and to take over at the earliest possible moment.

The MSM is just the voice of the Deep State. The Deep State and their Globalist cronies are the true enemies and threat to the Country.

So this is Obama’s revenge for Flynn accepting the position under Trump.

BO et al are SCUM

"Pence is to Trump, what Bush was to Reagan. A GOPe watchdog intended to shape Trump to their will and to take over at the earliest possible moment."

This is one of my great fears. Pence is making a lot of key decisions. He is swearing in all of the Cabinet appointees. He is an establishment Republican. Trump is really a renegade third party President, which is just what the people elected. The uniparty is moving to neutralize and remove Trump and install Pence IMO and then there will be all sorts of soothing messages from the MSM to put the people back to sleep. Trump needs to breakout of the trap now and get rid of all the remaining Obama appointees, as well as suspect GOPers. He also needs to deliberately disrupt the command structure and plans of the intelligence agencies which are targeting him rather than the enemy.

“Trump will drain the swamp with much more gusto now.”
Sorry l just don’t see any evidence of this. He’s tripping over Obama holdover s and GOPe moles. Where is the purge? The Senate GOP is about to try to use the Flynn thing to destroy him. Where is the fight?

Precisely

Flynn was submarined. Whoever did so should be in a FISA court

The conversation was leaked, so I understand. They know exactly what was said. Sally Yates authorized the wiretap, or whatever they call it now.

When are people going to understand that he lied to his boss and got fired for that?

When are you going to understand that is a cover story.

Tony Shaffer, former CIA analyst and retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, told FOX Business Network,

“I would put this right at the feet of John Brennan and Jim Clapper and I would go so far as to say the Obama White House was directly involved before they left. Ben Rhodes and those folks… The Democrats are behind this and some of the Republicans are involved with the leaks. So I say ‘Bring it on!’”

The answer is to cut the budget to the bureacracy by 20% across the board without specifying exactly what gets cut.

Then let the chips fall where they may. Let the various interests within each agency fight with each other for their survival.

That’ll keep them out of Trump’s business for a good year or so.

Agreed. And DC insiders loyal to Obama/Clinton.

Sally Yates authorized the wiretap, or whatever they call it now.

FOX reported today that it was an ongoing program of monitoring foreign diplomats. The source had to be from Obama because that information is Highly classified Compartmentalized data.
