They went after Flynn not because of this but because Flynn was trying to head off Obama and John Kerry’s moves against Israel at the UN in December 2016. They and Russia were pushing a divestment movement against Israel for settlements. That’s why Kerry was zipping all around the world at that time trying to organize other nation’s votes, and why he pulled that weird last minute trip to the Arctic....as an excuse to get to New Zealand to secure their vote. Flynn was countering Kerry’s moves.

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 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.

Note that John Brennan actually invited and met with Palestinian officials with terrorist backgrounds in Washington that December.
