President Donald Trump wants you to believe that he had no way of knowing about former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s shady dealings with Russia before he made him his first national security adviser. In reality, the president is trying to rewrite history.
On Friday, Trump tweeted his lament that nobody warned him about Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general who was dismissed from his job as director of national intelligence by then-President Barack Obama in 2014. After his dismissal, Flynn wasted little time cozying up to the Kremlin, and then spent 2016 as one of Trump’s key campaign surrogates.
“It now seems the General Flynn was under investigation long before was common knowledge,” Trump tweeted. “It would have been impossible for me to know this but, if that was the case, and with me being one of two people who would become president, why was I not told so that I could make a change?”

"But news reports indicate otherwise. CNN, citing former Obama administration officials, reported on May 17, 2017, that during a White House meeting days after Trump’s election, Obama told him that “given the importance of the [national security "
What “shady dealings” did Flynn have with Russia? These articles are nonsense.
FAKE NEWS!!!
I don’t believe Vox and MSN so much.
Not being up to the job is miles away from being under investigation by the CIA and FBI.
Trump is correct. Vox lies for Obama, as always.
Why should anyone trust anything that Obama said?
This is just the Deep State trying to blame Trump for their obvious campaign spying and harassment
Yeah riiiiight.
We believe Vox.
/s
I don't see any mention of Obama in it.
Flynn misspoke to the Vice President. That’s it.
Wow. These people are tripling down. Delusional.
Truth of the matter is, the Left in general and the Obama Administration in particular had a real axe to grind with Gen. Flynn because of his outspoken criticism of what was supposed to be one of the crown jewels of the Obama Administration...The Iran Nuclear Deal.
Flynn saw it for the craven appeasement that it was and said so.
They had to deal with him.
Do you remember what older FAKENEWS website,
newer FAKENEWS Vox has replaced?
After his dismissal, Flynn wasted little time cozying up to the Kremlin,/////
No flag or general officer would ever “cozy up” to any adversarial entity to the US. Not even weasely clark.
I hate these liars.
A pox on Vox.
Obama did not tell Trump that Flynn was under investigation.
Vox is a leftist POS...’nuff sed
Never forget, that on election day 2016, Flynn was working for the Turks.
