Another Justice Department Fail: The Flynn Unmasking

Barack Obama's crusade to destroy Lt. General Michael Flynn began months before Election Day in 2016.

Flynn resigned as Obama's Defense Intelligence Agency director in 2014 amid clashes with his boss at the time, James Clapper, over the administration's approach to the war on terror.

In early 2016, Flynn, who had become an outspoken critic of Obama's foreign policy, joined the Trump presidential campaign; a few months later, Obama's FBI opened a counterintelligence probe into Flynn and three other campaign associates.

"According to a senior U.S. government official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials as well as other measures in retaliation for the hacking," Ignatius wrote.

Published another bombshell: "National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials," Post.

While Bash glossed-over flagrant evidence of how secret information about Flynn was politically weaponized with great success, he appears to be correct that there is no evidence the unmasking requests.

"There is no justification for the exorbitant number of times Michael Flynn's name was unmasked, briefed to senior Obama officials, and even spread outside the FBI in unmasked form. The Flynn leak was a major crime, yet even after this investigation, no one was held accountable," Nunes added.
