In dramatic testimony Monday, Obama holdover Attorney General Sally Yates testified that she warned the incoming White House its newly installed national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was compromised by a lie and therefore a potential blackmail target of the Russians. President Trump can be forgiven for ignoring her warning. It was Yates who was blackmailing him.
Its clear from recent revelations that President Obama and his holdovers had a morbid fear of Lt. Gen. Flynn, an anti-Islamic terror hawk, and were gunning for him early in the transition, long before rumors he was involved in any alleged Russian conspiracy.
Just days after the inauguration, moreover, Yates used those same NSA transcripts to try to get Flynn fired, by warning the White House that he was vulnerable to Russian extortion.
Despite her warnings, Flynn remained in his position for 18 more days (a gap Democrats say is as scandalous as the 18-minute gap in the Nixon tapes). He was only forced to resign after somebody from the Obama administration illegally leaked the intercepts to the Washington Post and created a political embarrassment for President Trump.
Unlike the Obama officials who disclosed highly classified information, Flynn committed no crime.

Hugh Hewitt is raising Yates to SAINTHOOD today!! Hewitt is a LOSER and not so smart.
I think this stuff gives the game away. I would say that a) Flynn wasn't compromised and b) not the sort of person who would give in to blackmail threats. And I think that is precisely why the Deep State needed to get him off stage.
And I think of Justice John Roberts, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, etc. -- people who are very much still on stage. I'm thinking they are the types who would do anything they're told under the threat of blackmail.
What is intriguing is what does Flynn have on this Obama cabal of traitors? Why did they go so far to set him up? I think this was all dreamed up by a personal vendetta by the purple lipped Kenyon (Flynn did not support the Iran buy off) and no Agency Heads would dare not tell him no.
Do you have a link or quote?
Thanks for posting. A very interestng snapshot in time. Fills in many blanks and clearly exposes Yates’ nefarious motivations.
Flynn was shaping up to be the White House’s BS filter with respect to the executive branch’s highly corrupt and politicized intelligence agencies, run through with people who, like Obama, were transfixed by the notion that the U.S. needs to prop up and pay obeisance to political Islam.
Trump’s National Security Picks Want to Air Obama’s Iran Secrets

For years, many Republicans and conservatives have charged that President Barack Obama was shielding embarrassing intelligence and policy details about Iran in order to support the nuclear deal reached last year.
With Donald Trump’s upset victory, the party of Lincoln will have an opportunity to declassify and disclose this information. While no decisions have been made, two early picks [Flynn and Pompeo] to Trump’s cabinet suggest this is going to happen.
Let’s start with retired general Michael Flynn, the next president’s choice to be national security adviser. Flynn served for two years as Obama’s director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 to 2014. Just as relevant, however, is that in 2011 he ran a team at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that reviewed the troves of material captured in the 2011 Osama bin Laden raid.
Under Obama, the intelligence community has declassified a small fraction of those documents and released them in drips and drabs. This prompted Flynn, after he retired in 2014, to charge that the disclosures were selective. Flynn has said in interviews and writings that some documents captured in the bin Laden raid showed a much tighter relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda than previously disclosed.

I’ve never been impressed by Hewitt. Has struck me as a boring, small-time Glenn Beck.
Not personal. They knew he was the one Trump appointee competent to uncover their massive criminality of the Obama admin.
It is obvious to me that the traitors of the purple lip puppet brigade are deathly afraid of general Flynn. I pray for another 4 years of a Trump administration where general Flynn can put his knowledge to work for the benefit of this country. He is the better man by far compared to those that framed him. I hope president Trump makes him one of his closest advisers.
You wonder why Obama had it in so much for Flynn.
