The president of a judicial watchdog group believes new revelations about a January 2017 investigation into then-national security adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn may have been directed by top Democratic politicians, including former President Barack Obama.
During an appearance on Lou Dobbs Tonight, Tom Fitton questioned why no top officials in the Obama administration have been investigated regarding their communications with the intelligence community after newly unsealed FBI notes revealed a pattern of bias against Flynn.
“According to Sally Yates, the way Obama was talking about it, she looked back at it in retrospect and found, ‘My gosh, he’s talking about throwing the Logan Act at Flynn,'” Fitton said. “And it helped explain why Comey was trying to get around the Justice Department and target Flynn with that sham investigation and that ambush interview to try to get him to lie about the wiretap that they already knew about, meaning they had the information about what he told the ambassador. So, why go ask him questions about it?”
Fitton accused Obama of tasking “his minion,” former FBI Director James Comey, with “targeting” Flynn so as to sew discord within the White House. Fitton then lashed out at members of the intelligence community for attempting to coax false admissions from President Trump and his associates by leveraging the now-discredited Steele Dossier.
“Then you had the dossier that also, his minion Comey ambushed then-President-elect Trump with the next day, not to brief him, not to provide a defense of the briefing, but according to Comey’s own admissions to the IG, was to find out how he would react. And what did Comey do after that meeting?”
“He ran down to his car, started typing his little memo about what allegedly transpired and then ran to the FBI headquarters and had a secure video teleconference with the Crossfire Hurricane team, Strzok, and company,” added Fitton. “Obama knew, Biden knew, Yates was there, Brennan was there, Susan Rice was there. The fact that Durham or frankly anyone hasn’t questioned any of these people substantially about what went on there, to me, is a miscarriage of justice thus far.”
Earlier this week, Flynn was exonerated after unsealed documents from the FBI’s investigation into Flynn showed investigative inconsistencies.
