1/10 In the eyes of the key senior leadership of the Obama administration, @GenFlynn truly posed and still does a real and viable existential threat to the presidency and the legacy of Barack Hussein Obama.
2/10 It wasn’t until May 2017 that most following the Russia Collusion ordeal found out that Barack Obama warned President-elect Trump, without explanation, against hiring Michael Flynn. It was November 10th, 2016, just two days after Donald Trump won the 2016 Election.
3/10 From that meeting, @realDonaldTrump told staffers he was bewildered by Obama’s warning. Of all the important things Obama could have said, the outgoing commander in chief wanted to talk about Flynn.

This raised many questions as to why Obama was so focused on @GenFlynn.
4/10 As we are well aware now, two weeks ago the Justice Department filed to withdraw charges against the retired Three-star General Mike Flynn for making false statements to the FBI in a January 24th, 2017, interview regarding a phone call with a Russian diplomat.
5/10 The circumstances surrounding the call and subsequent FBI interview have given rise to a vast conspiracy theory that was weaponized to imprison @GenFlynn, a decorated war hero and a strategic thinker whose battlefield innovations saved countless American lives.
6/10 There is and never was any evidence that @GenFlynn “colluded” with Russia. AND the evidence that Flynn did not make false statements to the FBI had been buried by the bureau, including current Director Christopher Wray for over three years. Why you might ask?
7/10 The single biggest question: If the Obama administration wasn’t alarmed by Flynn’s nonexistent ties to Russia, why was Flynn Obama’s No. 1 target? Why and who ordered Obama officials to intercept Flynn’s phone calls with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak?

It was OBAMA.
8/10 Obama saw Flynn as the signal biggest threat to his legacy - which was rooted in a number of Flynn’s positions on Obama national security policies from radical Islamic Terrorism, Benghazi, weapons transfers to Syrian rebels, to the massive abuses of FISA.
9/10 However, the single gravest concern for Obama was Flynn’s inside knowledge of Obama’s July 2015 ‘nuclear agreement with Iran’ -- the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
