If there was any doubt that Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn was Target Zero in the Russia Collision conspiracy or that President Barack Obama was an active co-conspirator, presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway put those doubts to bed last week.
The more general answer is that Flynn was the one Obama appointee not afraid to speak his mind.
Although news reports at the time were circumspect about the reasons for Flynn's departure, a leaked email from retired Gen. Colin Powell in September 2016 spoke to the sentiments of Obama insiders: "I asked why Flynn got fired. Abusive with staff, didn't listen, worked against policy, bad management, etc. He has been and was right-wing nutty every [sic] since."
Nor did Flynn become a target of the Russia collusion conspirators for his presumed right-wing nuttiness.
Flynn almost assuredly became Target Zero for his willingness to expose and undo what Obama considered his signature foreign policy achievement, the Iran nuclear deal.
Had Flynn remained a nutty outlier restricted to the conservative news ghetto, the Obama crowd could have ignored him.
Seeing how willing the media were to validate "What we had given them to say" about Russia and Flynn, the conspirators subsequently played the Russia card on Trump.
