Flynn's Obama connection, why doesn't the press care?

Doesn't really matter, huh? Media focused like a laser on Trump. Rush made some valid points, and I know we all know the real reason, but its still worthy of consideration:
quote:
According to Fox News, Flynn’s resignation was triggered by phone conversation Flynn had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak regarding sanctions, which could have technically violated federal law that prohibits private citizens from interfering in negotiations with foreign governments.
“To show you just how lame the media is and how little they’ve got, they’re already asking, ‘what did Trump know and when did he know it,’ and that’s not the question. The question is, ‘what did Barack Obama know and when did he know it and what has he engineered here?'” Limbaugh said. “This all happened with Flynn back in December. Trump had not even been inaugurated yet. And it’s still mysterious to me what really happened.”
Indeed, the Wall Street Journal confirmed that intelligence sources had intercepted some of the calls, which would have meant that President Obama, who was still in office at the time, could have been aware of them.
“In September 2011, Mike Flynn was promoted to lieutenant general assigned to the office of the Director of National Intelligence by Barack Obama. On April 17, 2012, President Barack Obama nominated Michael Flynn to be the 18th director of the Defense Intelligence Agency,” Limbaugh said.
“The Defense Department has its own intel operation and he ran it, as opposed to the Central Intelligence Agency. It’s called the DIA, and it’s big, and it’s relevant, and it’s important, and it does great work, and Flynn ran it after having been promoted to lead it by Obama in 2012. He took command of the DIA in July of 2012. He is a member of the Democrat Party, according to Wikipedia. Michael Flynn is a member of the Democrat Party.”
quote:
If the Wall Street Journal was correct, and intelligence officials knew about these calls, did they pass this information on to the Obama administration? One is hard pressed to think of a situation in which they wouldn’t. If this was such a concern, why on earth didn’t Obama take action?

Obama was on his way out. Flynn was Trump's boy and Trump's problem and the AG was cool enough to let them know they had a problem. More dumb bullshite.

Flynn was fired by Obama. You left out that part. But since it doesn't fit your narrative- I guess facts aren't good for you.
ETA: Your assertion that he is also a democrat is false as well.
"Flynn maintains President Obama fired him from the Defense Intelligence Agency two years ago because he took a stand against “radical Islamism,”

Its been reported that he had been dismissed under Obama...but how would the larger story not be him being dismissed over a lie involving the word "Russia" given all the controversy (Trump's campaign manager also resigned over Russia). Come on bruh

Obama knew Flynn was a nut job.
Obama told Trump that Flynn was a nut job.
Trump ignored everything bad about Flynn.
But Obama was supposed to go public about Flynn talking to Russian intelligence agents days before the inauguration? How would Obama know if Flynn lied or Pence was lying?
