Flynn Discussed by Obama in Oval Office

In a column at PJ Media, Matt Margolis reports that documents released yesterday by the Department of Justice show that President Obama, while still in office as a lame duck, knew details about the wiretap of Michael Flynn’s call with Russian ambassador Kislyak. He writes:
Obama’s direct knowledge of the details of Flynn’s wiretapped calls even shocked his then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates. Obama had fired Flynn as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014 in order to protect Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. Obama’s knowledge of Flynn being wiretapped raises significant questions about what Obama knew and when he knew it with regard to the attempt to railroad Flynn and prevent him from serving as Trump’s national security adviser.
An optimist would conclude we are one small step closer to seeing the former president in an orange jumpsuit. A pessimist would say he’s untouchable, regardless of what he knew or ordered done.

Fox News has a longer story about these documents and what they show, including that Biden was present at these discussions.
