This story, from the Jan. 12, 2017, edition of the New York Times, was little-remarked upon at the time, but suddenly has taken on far greater significance in light of current events:
In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the governments 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.
The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.

This should have been first thing he did.
100% agree. You would think he and his Generals would have known this.
There is so much sabotage that has been laid, so many entrenched seditionists, so much that needs to be reversed. Even working 22 hours every day, DJT still has his hands full.
I’d make a new position for Flynn. Appoint him with the task of interviewing every single employee in every single intelligence agency, and State, and submit to DJT a list of Keep and Toss.
I agree with your post # 20.
