It now seems the General Flynn was under investigation long before was common knowledge. It would have been impossible for me to know this but, if that was the case, and with me being one of two people who would become president, why was I not told so that I could make a change?




JFC... President Obama warned you about Flynn, asshole!

"...why was I not told so that I could make a change?"

President Obama specifically told Trump "do not bring" Flynn in. Trump, being the passive-aggressive asshole that he is, purposely did the opposite.

.....comes from panic over the Judge who just ordered that the sections about Flynn, in the Mueller report, be un-redacted.

Trump knows very well what's in those sections.

investigations into the FISA warrant and maybe even Wray, Comey, Mueller and more to throw off the awful news he knew was coming.

Deflect, deflect, deflect always from the real truth: Trump and his crime family did conspire with the Russkies, is a tool of Putin, colluded like hell with any Russkie organizations and Putin ally to win the election.

His kids have publicly stated this. as have other people who know him.

So him not knowing about Flynn's role is BS. And his sudden need to tweet a denial is so obvious.

14. Obama Warned Trump Against Hiring Mike Flynn, Say Officials (from 2017)
Fri May 17, 2019, 11:08 AM
May 2019
Former President Obama warned President Donald Trump against hiring Mike Flynn as his national security adviser, three former Obama administration officials tell NBC News.

The warning, which has not been previously reported, came less than 48 hours after the November election when the two sat down for a 90-minute conversation in the Oval Office.

A senior Trump administration official acknowledged Monday that Obama raised the issue of Flynn, saying the former president made clear he was "not a fan of Michael Flynn." Another official said Obama’s remark seemed like it was made in jest.

According to all three former officials, Obama warned Trump against hiring Flynn. The Obama administration fired Flynn in 2014 from his position as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, largely because of mismanagement and temperament issues.

He was given a briefing by Comey and others. He was told that foreign countries might try to infiltrate his campaign. Sally Yates went over to the White House to warn them that there might be trouble with Flynn talking to the Russians. He was told about the Steele Dossier. He was given plenty of information to make a rational decision, but he failed. He failed to protect our country and our Constitution. He does not deserve to sit where he is sitting.

Sally Yates- Flynn is trouble. Don’t hire him.

Barack Obama- Flynn is trouble. Don’t hire him.

James Comey- Flynn is trouble. Don’t hire him.

The cashier at Target- Flynn is trouble. Don’t hire him.

Donald Trump- WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT FLYNN?!?!

Well, Assface...they did warn you. And, Ivanka told Flynn he could have any job in the Trump administration that he wanted!
