Midknight Review -- new and revised: Finally, the truth about Flynn and the failings of the Obama administration.

CNN: Pentagon warned Flynn in 2014 against taking foreign payments; IG launches investigation

Editor's notes: Two things: First this is a CNN piece, in its continuing war against the Trump/conservative/we the people system of governance. Point? "Consider the source."

Update: Documents released today, show that Flynn received a $45,000 payment for work done (a speech, I believe) to the Russian press, in 2015. His security clearance was approved in 2016, and again, before Trump.

Secondly, the story ignores the fact that General Flynn was cleared by the intelligence community, years ago, early in the Obama Administration. His clearance was investigated and approved again, in 2016, during Obama but after Flynn did whatever he did in Russia, in 2015. If there is any question as to Administration failure, it is the Obama Administration at fault, here. The Trump Administration had no reason to question Flynn's recent security clearance under the Obama Administration.

Case closed. End of discussion.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
