This is a good bloomberg column about what really happened and the leaks that has been coming out of DC. Mind you, the author of this piece is by no means a Trump fan and actually says there still are questions that need to be answered about Team Trump and russia but the larger issue here is the entrenched deep state and bureaucracy that's doing everything they can do to undermine a legitimate elected government.
This is a fair point to follow.....
There's a pattern here....
Possible Motives for targeting Flynn....

With all that said, we need to see the full transcript of the conversation he had with the Russian ambassador as leakers and possibly media are cherry picking it.

There is another component to this story as well -- as Trump himself just tweeted. It's very rare that reporters are ever told about government-monitored communications of U.S. citizens, let alone senior U.S. officials. The last story like this to hit Washington was in 2009 when Jeff Stein, then of CQ, reported on intercepted phone calls between a senior Aipac lobbyist and Jane Harman, who at the time was a Democratic member of Congress.
Normally intercepts of U.S. officials and citizens are some of the most tightly held government secrets. This is for good reason. Selectively disclosing details of private conversations monitored by the FBI or NSA gives the permanent state the power to destroy reputations from the cloak of anonymity. This is what police states do.
There's a pattern here....
quote:
Representative Devin Nunes, the Republican chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told me Monday that he saw the leaks about Flynn's conversations with Kislyak as part of a pattern. "There does appear to be a well orchestrated effort to attack Flynn and others in the administration," he said. "From the leaking of phone calls between the president and foreign leaders to what appears to be high-level FISA Court information, to the leaking of American citizens being denied security clearances, it looks like a pattern."
Nunes said he was going to bring this up with the FBI, and ask the agency to investigate the leak and find out whether Flynn himself is a target of a law enforcement investigation. The Washington Post reported last month that Flynn was not the target of an FBI probe.
Possible Motives for targeting Flynn....
quote:
Flynn was a fat target for the national security state. He has cultivated a reputation as a reformer and a fierce critic of the intelligence community leaders he once served with when he was the director the Defense Intelligence Agency under President Barack Obama. Flynn was working to reform the intelligence-industrial complex, something that threatened the bureaucratic prerogatives of his rivals.
He was also a fat target for Democrats. Remember Flynn's breakout national moment last summer was when he joined the crowd at the Republican National Convention from the dais calling for Hillary Clinton to be jailed.

This wasn't Flynn's first run-in with the spooks. Clapper had his hands all over Flynn's dismissal from the Obama administration.

It's clear he was set up by Obama administration black hats like Clapper and Yates

So you're a fan of Eli Lake articles now? Hahaha...awesome!
P.S. -- I like Eli, but I disagree with him here. I'm glad Flynn is gone.

There are a lot of bad guys in the IC against Trump and against American interest. And there is not a person that reflects that anti-Americanism more than John McCain.

You mean like the FBI breaking protocol to alter the outcome of a Presidential election?
Yeah, that would seem improper.

Is it true his contact was in December. Then once Trump found out about his lie he fired him?
Why the frick is this even news?

The Swamp is full of treacherous creatures. And that drain is way out in the middle of it.

If it was a pure smear job from the Obama administration and intelligence community, why wouldn't Trump do what he always does, and fight back?
Trump is often loyal to a fault, and relishes a challenge from the establishment, so not fighting back wouldn't make sense, unless there was good reason not to.

As Trump said earlier-Thats what Nazi Germany used to do.

This is a worrying fact, but we also can't ignore the importance of WikiLeaks in making leaks the "norm." See also Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning.
Part of it is national identity being subsumed beneath political identity.
