Obama knew details of wiretapped Flynn phone calls, surprising top DOJ official in meeting with Biden, declassified docs show

President Obama was aware of the details of then-incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn's intercepted December 2016 phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, apparently surprising then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, according to documents released Thursday as exhibits to the government's motion to dismiss the Flynn case.

Obama's unexpectedly intimate knowledge of the details of Flynn's calls, which the FBI acknowledged at the time were not criminal or even improper, raised eyebrows because of his own history with Flynn -- and because top FBI officials secretly discussed whether their goal was to "get [Flynn] fired" when they interviewed him in the White House on January 24, 2017.

Obama blasts DOJ's decision to drop Flynn case: 'Rule of law is at risk'

Former President Barack Obama in a private call with former members of his administration, lambasted the Department of Justice's (DOJ) decision this week to drop the charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

“The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed — about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn,” Obama said in an audio clip that was obtained and released by Yahoo News.

“And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk," the former president said. "And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly as we’ve seen in other places.”
...
Obama mislabeled Flynn's charges; he wasn't charged with perjury, but rather with lying to the FBI. Flynn plead guilty in 2017 to lying to federal agents about conversations he’d had with a Russian diplomat during the presidential transition.

Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation

Information released in the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case it brought against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn confirms the significance of a January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama White House. It was at this meeting that Obama gave guidance to key officials who would be tasked with protecting his administration’s utilization of secretly funded Clinton campaign research, which alleged Trump was involved in a treasonous plot to collude with Russia, from being discovered or stopped by the incoming administration.

“President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia,” National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote in an unusual email to herself about the meeting that was also attended by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI Director James Comey, and Vice President Joe Biden.

A clearer picture is emerging of the drastic steps that were taken to accomplish Obama’s goal in the following weeks and months. Shortly thereafter, high-level operatives began intensely leaking selective information supporting a supposed Russia-Trump conspiracy theory, the incoming National Security Advisor was ambushed, and the incoming Attorney General was forced to recuse himself from oversight of investigations of President Trump. At each major point in the operation, explosive media leaks were a key strategy in the operation to take down Trump.

Not only was information on Russia not fully shared with the incoming Trump team, as Obama directs, the leaks and ambushes made the transition chaotic, scared quality individuals away from working in the administration, made effective governance almost impossible, and materially damaged national security. When Comey was finally fired on May 9, in part for his duplicitousness regarding his handling of the Russia collusion theory, he orchestrated the launch of a Special Counsel probe that continued his efforts for another two years. That probe ended with Mueller finding no evidence of any American colluding with Russia to steal the 2016 election, much less Trump or anyone connected to him.

An analysis of the timeline from early 2017 shows a clear pattern of behavior from the federal officials running the collusion operation against the Trump campaign. It also shows how essential media leaks were to their strategy to sideline key law enforcement and intelligence officials and cripple the ability of the incoming Trump administration to run the country.

Here’s a timeline of the key moments and news articles of the efforts, per Obama’s direction, to prevent the Trump administration from learning about the FBI’s operation against it.

January 4: Following the closure of a pretextually dubious and politically motivated FBI investigation of Flynn at the beginning of January, the leadership of the FBI scrambled to reopen a case against Flynn, the man who in his role as National Security Advisor would have to review their Russia collusion investigation. FBI officials openly discussed their concern about briefing the veteran intelligence official on what they had done to the Trump campaign and transition team and what they were planning to do to the incoming Trump administration. Flynn had to be dealt with. The FBI’s top counterintelligence official would later memorialize discussions about the FBI’s attempts to “get [Flynn] fired.” No reopening was needed, they determined, when they discovered they had failed to close the previous investigation. They found this mistake “amazing” and “serendipitously good” and said “our utter incompetence actually helps us.” Even more noteworthy were texts from FBI’s #2 counterintelligence official Peter Strzok to FBI lawyer Lisa Page noting that the “7th floor,” a reference to Comey and his deputy director Andrew McCabe, was running the show.

January 5: Yates, Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper briefed Obama on Russia-related matters in the Oval Office. Biden and Rice also attended. After the Obama briefing, the intelligence chiefs who would be leaving at the end of the term were dismissed and Yates and Comey, who would continue in the Trump administration, were asked to stay. Not only did Obama give his guidance about how to perpetuate the Russia collusion theory investigations, he also talked about Flynn’s conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to both Comey and Yates. Interestingly, Clapper, Comey, and Yates all said that they did not brief Obama about these phone calls. Clapper testified he did not brief Obama on the calls, Yates learned about the calls from Obama himself during that meeting, and Comey also testified he didn’t brief Obama about the calls, even though the intelligence was an FBI product. Rice, who publicly lied but later admitted under oath to her widespread use of unmasked intelligence at the end of the Obama administration, likely briefed Obama on the calls and would have had access to the intelligence. Comey mentions the Logan Act at this meeting.

It was this meeting that Rice memorialized in a bizarre inauguration-day email to herself that claimed Obama told the gathered to do everything “by the book.” But Rice also noted in her email that the key point of discussion in that meeting was whether and how to withhold national security information, likely including details of the investigation into Trump himself, from the incoming Trump national security team.
...
This stunning operation was not just a typical battle between political foes, nor merely an example of media bias against political enemies. Instead, this entire operation was a deliberate and direct attack on the foundation of American governance. In light of the newly declassified documents released in recent days, it is clear that understanding what happened in that January 5 Oval Office meeting is essential to understanding the full scope and breadth of the corrupt operation against the Trump administration. It is long past time for lawmakers in Congress who are actually interested in oversight of the federal government and the media to demand answers about what really happened in that meeting from every single participant, including Obama and Biden.

Is he really nervous though? There's no way Obama is ever going to see the inside of a jail cell. We're stuck with him until he kicks the bucket.

Several MSM outlets are giving this moron air time for his opinions..

Pretty bad when the has-been carries more weight than the up-n-comer.

Obama must be a little worried. Rare for an ex-Prez to throw shade on the sitting one.

I’d be nervous if the only high ranking intelligence officer who publicly blew the whistle on arming islamists (ISIS) in Syria is about to be FREE.

All these traitors need to be monitored. 24/7 & not allowed to do anymore harm to America

'Chaotic disaster': Obama hits Trump's coronavirus response, warns of disinformation ahead of election

After largely staying out of the fray since leaving the White House, former President Barack Obama pointedly criticized the Trump administration on a range of issues while also sounding the alarm about the spread of misinformation ahead of the presidential election as he rallied former members of his administration to join him in doing all they can to back his former vice president.

Nope. This is about as likely to translate to reality as 'Lock Her Up' during 2016 election season was. But politically rinse,repeat can work as a tactic when average voter is not too informed. In reality, MAGA White House had recently banned a libertarian leaning cartoonist ( Ben Garrison if not mistaken) for drawing offensive political cartoons about top Obama donor.
I think OP quoted the title of the video, that doesn't mean agreement.

Could it be it's not because of their regard for his opinions but they do that for political /self interests. Media has a reputation for publishing fakenews for profiteering, to serve special interests/masters agenda/opportunism etc.
That said, at times his intelligence can be dazzling.

Oh yes. I am certain that his cell will be right next to Hillary’s.

It’s comical to watch you and others react to media reports on your favorite propaganda channels. Pavlov’s dogs - in a literal sense.

Nothing will come of this. You deny that they are all on the same team to the detriment of us all. Thankfully more and more are rejecting the partisan bull$#@! that has brought this country to ruin. Time is up. Team (R) will be nowhere to be found. Your MAGA hat won’t help either. Enjoy the show.

I am just loving how Twitter keeps removing tweets to keep #Obamagate from going viral for the past three days.

But guess what is trending in politics right now #MoscowMitch, Needless Suffering and Death, Transition to Biden, #TrumpTaxReturn

Sounds like Twitter is very bias towards Obama.

Sometimes there is a moment where everything crystallizes.

What is the other hand doing? What are we being distracted from?

This rioting and the 24/7 media coverage are an all out campaign to distract from Obamagate. The Democrats and media are all in. They were able to distract with Russiagate for most of Trump’s presidency, and now it has become critical for them to distract through to the election. They will burn the nation if it means they can avoid Obamagate, and get rid of Trump. If Trump wins, they will go full civil war. Turning the US into Syria would be an acceptable result to them, to avoid accountability.

I agree with you although i dont see how Trump would lose to the liberals when their message is being overshadowed by looting and rioting i remember there were the BLM protests agaisnt Trump in 2016 it didn't help the liberals win.

Its a soap opera for people that wouldn't watch Days of Our Lives. Marines, sealed indictments, satanic pedos, CIA insiders leaking intel, and the "outsider" fighting for the little guy. They mock us to our faces and they know people will still lap it up.

A lot of people that barely have two quarters to rub together believe a NY billionaire is one of them. Go figure.

Sure, outrageous conspiracy hypotheses can be put out there to distract from everyday corrupt or illegal activities.

What does any of that have to do with this thread? Where is an outrageous claim? Quote it. This is not a Q thread.
