And as he said, he has advised anyone who asked him about his area of expertise, saying he would advise Clinton or Sanders if they asked his advice.
Obama must have liked him because on April 17, 2012, President Barack Obama nominated Flynn to be the 18th director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Flynn took command of DIA, July, 2012.
Why do you think Obama is so misguided in his judgement?

And I'd like to hear just where it is people disagree with anything he actually SAID about this. Too much deflection from too many people. It is something you can't avoid. Better now that later. Much better.
