Limbaugh on Flynn Resignation: ‘The Question Is What Did Barack Obama Know and When Did He Know It?’
breitbart ^

Posted on 02/14/2017 11:48:00 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Tuesday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh reacted to the resignation of Mike Flynn as National Security Adviser.

According to Limbaugh, questions need to be asked going back to the previous administration and how the leak about Flynn’s interaction with Russia’s ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak.

Everybody just calm down, just calm down. All of this was predicted to you, every bit of this was predicted to you. I mean the media behavior. To show you just how lame the media is and how little they’ve got, they’re already asking what did Trump know and when did he know it, and that’s not the question. The question is, what did Barack Obama know and when did he know it and what has he engineered here?

This all happened with Flynn back in December. Trump had not even been inaugurated yet. And it’s still mysterious to me what really happened. Even if, even if Flynn, as the incoming national security director, had called the Russian ambassador to talk, so what? That’s not hard to imagine. That’s not a big deal. It really isn’t a big deal.

Now, if he lied to Mike Pence and said, “No, no, no, I didn’t talk to the guy. I didn’t talk to the guy about sanctions. I didn’t talk about maybe lifting the sanctions. No, no, no, I didn’t.” And if he did do that, if he lied to Pence, then, okay, there’s a reason for Flynn to be in trouble and maybe to resign, get out of the way. But for the media to say what did Trump know and when did he know it? Get a grip here, folks

Limbaugh criticized the media and noted Democrats are often allowed to skate on similar indiscretions without consequences.

Who is phone tapping the presidents international calls and who phone tapped Flynn without a warrant? Did obama know about this illegal act and obstruct justice. Did the kelly woman in the Justice department actually have knowledge of this illegally tapped phone call and try to black mail the White House with it? What the hell is going on here?

(title) :"..Flynn Resignation: ‘The Question Is What Did Barack Obama Know and When Did He Know It?’ "

Actually that is a meaningful question !
Obama intends to run a "Shadow Government" out of Washington D.C.
This is much the same as Hillery running a "Shadow Government" out of the Seventh Floor of the State Department.
Given the war funding and weapons (Benghazi)attributed to the CIA to the anti-Assad Syrian regime, fostered by the State Department,
the valid question is how many "Shadow Governments" are there, and who is running them ??

Obviously very important but the real question is do the Republicans have the stones to pursue it and just how deep is the intelligence swamp. Oktwo questions.

My theory is that in light of the fact that at the time this took place there was no Sec of State and no real group yet to set foreign policy and define russian relations, and Flynn took it upon himself, attempting to “enlarge” the role and powers of the National Security Advisor by making contacts and promises outside the purview of his position. In the process he way overstepped his bounds. Once caught, he tried to deny it to Pence, hoping it would be ignored and forgotten.

Trump should hire at our tax expense (I’ll gladly pay for it) the best bug sniffing organization possible and have one of their staff follow them around to make sure they do their job.

What prompted Yates to go to the FISA in the first place? Who was listening in on Flynns conversation to tell Yates, "Go to the FISA"

Did this come from the metadata from the NSA?

Rush and Sean et al are behind the curve these days. It ain’t the 90s or 2012 anymore. Puleing on the radio about hypocrisy or unfair treatment ain’t gonna cut it anymore. The left want to take down the country and have plulled off the gloves...

Yes, Obama knew about it. He signed an order to release all the Phone calls of the Transition Team for investigation, right around the time that Congress Critters GOPe were raving on about Russia hacking the election, and noting that a full investigation was going to be made.

This was also about the same time that Obama put the elections under the control of DHS. The NSA spys on everyone, including congress and foreign leaders.

The phone tap was on the Russian Ambassador. And that happens all over the world, and Flynn should have known that. If the talk was truly innocent, he should not have lied to the VPOTUS. If it wasn’t then it’s probably available on Memorex.

I would really love to see “Organizing For Action” declared a subversive organization, because it is. It’s like it’s a reincarnated version of ACORN.

Question #1:Hell no!

Question #2:So deep that it extends across all party lines and encompasses hordes of bureaucrats who want to subvert this nation and turn it into a Marxist hell hole.
