(40,234 posts)"...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.

(9,865 posts).....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.

(4,014 posts)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.

He knew about Flynn.

(60,010 posts)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.

(36,903 posts)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 Obamas 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.

(17,984 posts)And here is my most relevant question: Does he believe himself? Because maybe he just forgot sitting on the throne at 4am tweeting about a nasty nightmare he just had.

(111,110 posts)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.

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