This narrative began in 2015, well after Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency. Obama's closest advisors recognized that Mr. Trump was a serious candidate, especially when he began to draw a following. Mr. Trump was different from all of the other candidates, even Obama, who was the first and only president who wanted to destroy America and its economy rather than support it. Mr. Trump claimed to be wealthy enough to finance his own campaign and thus was beholden to no one's political whims. In addition he was outspoken and said or tweeted what he thought and drew record crowds where ever he spoke. This willingness to say precisely what was on his mind, attracted a following that grew until it was large enough to win him the Republican nomination for POTUS. Previous Republican candidate, John McCain and George Romney, both seemed like winners and great candidates, but neither had the willingness to attack by telling the truth about Obama or at least use surrogates to enlighten the public on what a monster Obama really is.
Candidate Trump tirelessly attack Obama and his programs so Obama knew what he had to do. Obama had access to information that may have been illegally obtained that even the Clinton dirty tricks machine didn't and even though he hated Trump, there was no love lost between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Sharing this information during the campaign was probably not necessary and so it would only be used in the unlikelihood that Donald Trump won the election. Every story either planted in the media by the Clinton campaign or by the media itself seemed to bounce off candidate Trump like water off a duck and although there might have been a brief statistical drop in his support, it never lasted very long. The bevy of lies that asserted that Mr. Trump was a racist, misogynist, xenophobe, and tax cheat were never really believed by anyone, but far left haters as the people pushing this garbage were themselves liars, especially when they were exposed by Wikileaks and other sources. In fact, it was well recognized that HRC was untrustworthy and a liar with a disingenuous personality and entitlement attitude that made her a poor candidate. She had no real message except Trump is evil, vote for me, I'm a woman. She ignored the Midwest (she flew over fly over country) and was frequently running off to Hollywood and New York for fund raisers, solidifying the center of the country for Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, when the inevitable disaster for the Democrat Party occurred, Obama was ready. With the aid of his highly political members of the NSC, namely Susan Rice and her assistant Ben Rhodes, Obama and Valerie Jarrett had been collecting bits of highly sensitive information on members of the President Trump's team and people he would most likely appoint to cabinet level positions. This was done via a process of "unmasking, "in which Americans who are caught up in surveillance of non American have their names unveiled as a matter of national security. This is rarely necessary. Susan Rice at first denied, but later admitted to being the unmasker. Although she wanted to replace HRC as Secretary of State. it was obvious that she could not get Senate approval, so she was appointed to a position that did not require senate approval as NSA advisor. Her assistant was Ben Rhodes a speech writer and close advisor to Obama. His brother is president of CBS, a good place to leak information. He also bragged about obfuscating the truth about the terrible Iran deal and spent months secretly meeting in Canada to open relations with communist Cuba. Obama had totally politicized positions that were supposed to be apolitical. Rice had taken huge amounts of criticism when she knowingly lied on six Sunday morning news interviews about Benghazi. Further more she lied about Bo Bergdahl, saying the deserter served with honor. Was she now lying about the leaks?
The target was retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn. Flynn had spent his entire 33 year military career in intelligence and "retired" one year early in 2014 having been forced out by Obama with whom he clashed over the threat of radical Islam and approach to Syria. After retiring, Flynn began a consulting firm with his son and had accepted money from both Russia and from Turkey through a Dutch intermediary. His attorney has said that both of these activities were approved by our government, although the records don't seem to exist or maybe just disappeared.
Now comes the good part. Despite knowing of Flynn's activity with Russia and Turkey, which would have affected his security clearance, nonetheless it was reissued at the highest level in 2016. There are only two explanations for this, either the Obama regime was very sloppy, unlikely, or they planned to use it later after he was approved for his position if Donald Trump was elected. Either Susan Rice or Ben Rhodes leaked his Russian contacts to the Washington Post. The unmasking by Susan Rice of General Flynn was probably a crime, but hard to prove. The leak is a crime and needs to be followed up and one or the other needs to be arrested, tried, and if found guilty go to prison. Rice or Rhodes would never have done this on their own so the orders came from higher up. That higher up is either/or both Valerie Jarrett and Obama. Will Rice or Rhodes take the blame, as Lois Lerner did in the Tea Party Scandal with prison time now in the offing? It remains to be seen.
