So why take out Flynn?

[Averageman]

This was a risky move and as we see the unmasking take place, I have have unrelated opinions of why, but I'm interested as to what you think.

The goal was, and still is, to take out anyone and everyone related to the Trump administration, including the President himself. I think the obama administration was afraid that anything other than a clinton win would lead to the exposure of the extremes of its corruption and treason.

Just opinion here, but I believe hiring Flynn put a burr under Obama'said saddle. Obama fired him because he wouldn't go along with coddling Muslim extremists. He told Trump not to hire him but Trump did so anyway.

My guess is Obama, believing himself to be the greatest President this country has ever known, could not believe that Trump had not followed his instructions. He then set out to show Trump who was really in charge. I think he expected that the combined witch hunts would topple the Trump administration and he wanted to be standing there like Paul Bunyan with an axe.

Flynn knows where the bodies are buried in the Black Bag Crowd, and was teeing up to take on rampant embezzlement off the black budget, or so the scuttlebutt goes.

He knew the “dossier” was fake and was asking questions about it.

After hiring Flynn, Chocolate Jesus and the Disciples found they hated him. Once Trump kept him they set Flynn up and assumed he would flip on Trump under pressure.

Saw that on Redstate, Breitbart or RightScoop last week, trying to find again and will get back to you. In the meantime, here's one relevant piece:

Why? Because Flynn had it coming.
Or at least Flynn’s associations with Russians, Turks and others made him pretty unsavory to the establishment. The type of guy who not too many folks would stick up for based on morally bankrupt clients. Plus Flynn’s behavior with the Russian Government was patently stupid and so close to the line that he was likely to be sacrificed by the new Administration that would want to be chalking up wins.
In other words, he was seen as a scalp that could be collected.

Flynn is probably dirty and certainly not smart, dumber even than Sandy Berger. However, Flynn’s lack of judgment was overshadowed, slightly, by the rot in Dept. of Justice’s National Security team (FBI/AGs).

I know I do not know the whole story, but Bill Barr seems to be the man who saw the Flynn case for the shakiness it was. Barr also emboldened Trump to fight the impeachment excesses too, but motivated by the sweep of history, not the politics of today. Even a shrewd guy such as Bill Barr isn’t going to be able to Fix the DOJ, but he has put the evildoers on notice that they might get the Pete Strzok treatment if they become too political.

Wow, this is too wrong to fix.
