Deep diving into the Michael Flynn affair is like shoveling manure: the more you shovel the stinkier it gets. From Skinny at theburningplatform.com:
What happens when the wrong guy from the wrong political party gets nominated to run for President? You put together a cabal of like-minded individuals to take him out, that’s what. And if one of your former advisors who had the temerity to slight you 2 years ago you joins that guy? You settle the score. Chicago style. Thus, Obama and his minions set about to do just that.
In July 2012 Obama appointed Mike Flynn to head the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). In the tradition of former generals occupying this position (I.E. Stanley McChrystal) Flynn began questioning the hair brained policies of the Obama Administration. Apparently, he disagreed with the High Handicapper in Chief’s assessment of ISIS as the JV team, so, 2 years into a 3-year tenure he was summarily sacked.
Now out of office, Flynn was free to criticize with impunity. At a 2015 Foreign Affairs Committee hearing he called the Obama Iran deal, “wishful thinking.” As if this wasn’t bad enough, a few months later he joined Trump’s campaign in February 2016 as an advisor on national security. A seething Obama plotted his revenge.
