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.

Maybe we should drop the whole “shadow government” thing and call them what they are: conspiracies.

I think it did. I know for sure that Obama signed an order to release all of the telephone calls of the Trump transition Team at around the time McCain and other GOPe were insisting that an investigation into Russian hacking the election, and DJT’s involvement with Russia was needed.

The left want to take down the country and have pulled off the gloves...

Believe you are correct, witness the behavior of the MSM, Hollywood, various colleges and most, if not all of those who defend the concept of sanctuary cities. Those segments have clearly taken off the gloves.

The ranks of the Left will increase rapidly in the near term given the growing number of 15-25-year-olds who have been taught a perverted view of the history of the world and the U.S. The failure to protect our borders and to weed out radical Muslims was not unintended.

The greater number of the popular vote for the corrupt, anti-American, politically incompetent Hillary was a loud wake-up call.

Our foreign enemies will be happy to let our internal enemies do the heavy lifting.

Obama’s new pet organization if “Organizing For Action”. It seems like a reincarnated version of “ACORN”.

I hadn’t thought about it but it is a powerfully question,, Trump would not have had access to any of this information until January 20th when he was inaugurated

So if Flynn made the call in December. It would have been the Obama Administration tapping the call and it would have been the Obama Administration knowing the contents of the call so if anything illegal or wrong happened it was Obama’s obligation to call it out.

It's that and more. ACORN was mainly about votes and elections, Organizing for Action is purely Get Trump and sabotage everything related to his Presidency.

Isn’t the reason presidents go away after their term so that the opposition doesn’t dig into their administrations too deeply in return? Seems like if osama is continuing to play the game he should get to experience the full force of the federal government without recourse to a pen and a phone.

Let me tell you two things. 1.The tap was not on the Russian ambassador. 2. If it was , it is absolutely illegal to tap an record an American citizen in conversation with him without a FISA WARRANT. This was blatantly criminal wire tapping. Trump has wimped out real bad!!

Now that the details of this obvious setup are coming out with Obama and Rhodes involvement in December, Trump ought to rehire Flynn!

Bingo you hit it out of the park again TIK. It's called Organizing for America and its going to be huge.He will merge several far left commie fund raising vehicles with it so it gets super big. OZero will do what he does best go out and raise funds so he can sabotage everything Trump does for eight years and the media will eat it all up.

So what should anyone do in a situation where your every move will be lied about, printed int he media and spun out of control on tv over and over again?

There is one thing I have considered and it just might work.

Why not do what the obama regime did to us for eight years. Undo everything they did to destroy the US and do it all at once. Forget the one at a time episodes which are so easy for the drivebys to concentrate on. Do every thing and do it all at once. We could engage in a little bit of chaotic payback using the same techniques they used on us for eight years.

Remember all the BS they threw at us over and over and all simultaneously.

They were destroying country after country in the Mideast while they were busting the budget,spending money wildly through obamacare destroying a once great medical system,opening the borders,creating sanctuary cities and destroying the military all at once. Just to get a little more chaotic they brought in sick kids and tried to make us look bad if we dared send them back to Central America.

Let's do the same stuff to them only we will make the country great again in the process.We can build the wall, rebuild the military, finish off isis,bring back capitalism to medical care, gut obamacare and do it all at once.

It will drive them absolutely bonkers.

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.

If we are going to be successful in this administration we will have to get down and dirty and do some mud fighting.
