Obama fired Flynn for giving classified info to Pakistan, and then declined to prosecute him. Probably didn’t pursue him out of professional courtesy or whatever. Flynn and his son also pushed the bulls**t narrative of ‘Clinton campaign officials are running a child sex ring out of Cosmic Pizza in DC’.
They are looking to replace him with Petraeus, who gave legit top secret info to a woman with whom he was having an affair (who was also his biographer) in an apparent attempt to impress her.
The intel official who leaked this info probably is guilty of committing a felony. But I think a strong case can be made that his actions are justified, since a top official committed actions to undermine two different presidential administrations, apparently lied to the FBI about it, and then the latter admin appears to have actively covered it up.
And a quick note to the Democrats who are currently standing up for the unnamed leaker, who previously cried foul over Edward Snowden and Private Manning: F**K YOU, YOU GODDAMNED HYPOCRITES! Even single one of you corporatist Dems deserve to get Primaried.
To be honest it is refreshing to see Flynn resign so quickly. I am glad he didn’t drag it out. And it is interesting that he was pressured to resign, whereas Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, stayed on for 4 more years after lying directly to Congress regarding spying on American citizens without warrants or prior suspicion.
It is also fascinating to see people get active and speak out against the government in these circumstances now that Trump is Pres, while they sat on their hands while Obama did largely the same thing.
