Barack Obama learned of the coming plans for Russian election meddling in 2014:
The Obama administration received multiple warnings from national security officials between 2014 and 2016 that the Kremlin was ramping up its intelligence operations and building disinformation networks it could use to disrupt the U.S. political system, according to more than half a dozen current and former officials.Then, oddly, obama did nothing about this potential interference.As early as 2014, the administration received a report that quoted a well-connected Russian source as saying that the Kremlin was building a disinformation arm that could be used to interfere in Western democracies. The report, according to an official familiar with it, included a quote from theRussian source telling U.S. officials in Moscow, “You have no idea how extensive these networks are in Europe … and in the U.S., Russia has penetrated media organizations, lobbying firms, political parties, governments and militaries in all of these places.”
You will remember that obama ridiculed Romney in 2012 for Romney asserting that Russia was geopolitical foe. Obama went to bat for Russia.
Obama covered for Russian crimes.
The media yawned.
Then, inexplicably, when learning of new Russian efforts to hack the election, Obama ordered US cyber defenses to stand down:
WASHINGTON — The Obama White House’s chief cyber official testified Wednesday that proposals he was developing to counter Russia’s attack on the U.S. presidential election were put on a “back burner” after he was ordered to “stand down” his efforts in the summer of 2016.That was pretty damned curious and it got even more curious. Adam Schiff was critical of Obama’s lack of responseThe comments by Michael Daniel, who served as White House “cyber security coordinator” between 2012 and January of last year, provided his first public confirmation of a much-discussed passage in the book, “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump,” co-written by this reporter and David Corn, that detailed his thwarted efforts to respond to the Russian attack.
“The American people needed to know, and I didn’t think it was enough to tell them after the election but rather given the seriousness of this, I think the administration needed to call out Russia earlier and needed to act to deter and punish Russia earlier, and I think that was a very serious mistake,”This was part of the plan – providing cover for obama. Appearing concerned.
Obama claimed that he did not respond to Russia because he did not want to be seen as affecting the election.
The Obama administration didn’t respond more forcefully to Russian hacking before the presidential election because they didn’t want to appear to be interfering in the election and they thought that Hillary Clinton was going to win and a potential cyber war with Russia wasn’t worth it, multiple high-level government officials told NBC News.This too is bullsh*t.
On December 28, 2016 Obama signs an EO implementing Russian sanctions.
On Dec. 29, 2016 Obama announces the Russian sanctions. I could not help but wonder- why wait? If he did not want to be seen as affecting the election why not implement them immediately after the election?
Because it was a set-up.
After conferring with the Trump team, Flynn was instructed to call Kislyak about the sanctions.
Dec. 29, 2016: K.T. McFarland, according to later CBS confirmation, while at Mar-a-Lago and with other top officials including Reince Priebus, Kellyanne Conway, Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, tells Flynn to communicate to Kislyak about the U.S. sanctions. Flynn calls Kislyak.The conversation was leaked
Obama implemented the sanctions when he did as bait to see what Flynn and Kislyak were going to say.
On January 10, James Clapper calls David Ignatius of the Washington Post and tells Ignatius to “take the kill shot” on Flynn .

The Ignatius article is published on January 12.
Flynn said nothing wrong in the conversation, which was cleared by the FBI.
The FBI has reviewed intercepted phone calls between national security adviser Michael Flynn and the Russian ambassador to the US and has found no evidence of wrongdoing, it was revealed Monday.But this part is a lie

This is a plot right out of a spy thriller — but it is real life and was TREASON pure and simple.
“Lisa Page edited the Flynn 302.”
Immediate disbarment?
Indictment?
Nothing will be done to these criminal communist Democrats if we rely on DOJ, FBI, and the useless Republican Senate. You can be sure. This is why America is lost because we have no one protecting our Constitution and our freedom.
We know obama won’t be sent to prison over this but he can be found guilty.
YES
That's quite a bank shot.
Obama was so prescient he knew Flynn would talk about the sanctions then lie about it even though it wasn't illegal?
That's giving O a lot of credit.
Not prescient, just some decent psychology. Act but with expectation of a certain reaction. Take advantage if that reaction occurs, if not, try something else.
And easily coerced.
Will Michael Flynn Plead Guilty And Cooperate To Protect His Son?

You're doing your part to kill any such discussion, Eeyore.
But that's not illegal.
Why would he assume Flynn would lie about it (to Pence and the FBI)?
Who and why did anyone think a 34 year 3* was a Russian agent?
He didn’t. He assumed that the FBI could make the press believe Flynn lied, and thereby cause trouble. The media reports made Pence believe it, leading to the firing. The subsequent persecution b6 Mueller et al broke Flynn’s finances, and also threatened to incarcerate his son, whether his son had done anything wrong or not.
If they were able to railroad Flynn on such garbage charges, his son would be dead meat.
According to Pence it wasn't the media reports, it was Flynn.
Knowing he lied means that Pence learned a different answer. Where did he get the disputing information.
Pence has also walked back his statement since then, once the truth started emerging.
