“... he was going to “clean up” the FBI, CIA, NSA and DIA.”
Dan Bongino’s podcast yesterday asserts that the reason obozo fired him in 2014 was that Flynn saw stuff, spoke up, did not like what was going on in the agencies, which included the Pentagon. He was alleged to be a voice in the wilderness about how obozo was dealing with Afghanistan, and was against the Iranian agreement. That is, he was not with the program. Your comment/recollection about Flynn’s Trump campaign statements support that.
There is more to this story. There has to be more than a personal vendetta against Flynn by agency players. He had to be a way to get at Trump. The question still is who was the center of the criminal conspiracy to which all these people acted to advance the insurance policy?
I recommend listening to Bongino from yesterday if you have an hour. This article is either out of date, or incomplete with other facts, and does not make as strong a case as could be made. It’s focused on these bad guys working hard to get rid of hero, patriot Flynn, but Flynn is not the real target. Just like Steele and the dossier. Lots of “journalists” eventually painted Steele as a former spy with a great animosity towards Trump and wanted him stopped from being POTUS at all costs. The new coat of paint was done on a new fire wall up - an attempt to protect the ringleaders of the conspiracy, as well as the reputations useful dunces like McCain (who passed the dossier to the FBI who already had it in their possession). Yeh, right.
Too many people were being used to take Flynn out. Steele was not a rogue. They were being “used” or “useful” to set up candidate, POTUS-elect, and POTUS.
