U.S. intelligence was investigating Flynn pre-election. That& #39;s why Obama told Trump, "don& #39;t hire him." And Trump pal Chris Christie said, "don& #39;t hire him." But Trump liked Flynn& #39;s secret Russia dealings—so he hired him. The feds continued investigating him because it& #39;s their job. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1260646308941123584">https://twitter.com/thehill/s...

PS/ Republicans are so up their own butts on Mike Flynn that *every* critique they make of the Obama administration *starts* from an assumption no one in law enforcement shares—that there was no basis to investigate him. Of course there *was* and the feds were doing their *jobs*.

PS2/ Let me state this plainly: Trump knew Flynn was having clandestine dealings with Russia during the election campaign and he *cheered them on* because he wanted to do business in Russia and wanted Russian election aid. It& #39;s *his own goddamn fault* that *all* of this happened.

PS3/ It would& #39;ve been *gross dereliction of duty* if the FBI and CIA hadn& #39;t tracked Mike Flynn pre- and post-election—*not* because he was a Trump adviser, but because *he was working to sell U.S. foreign policy to hostile foreign powers.*

Obama *tried* to save Trump and failed.

PS4/ Consider: if Obama and Biden were secretly trying to ensnare Trump, why the *hell* did Obama directly tell Trump not to hire Flynn? It& #39;s one of the chief questions no Trumpist conspiracy theorist can explain: why did Obama try to *warn* Trump, if he was trying to *hurt* him?
