Timeline includes a Nov. 18th letter sent to Mike Pence warning of Flynn's entanglements with Turkey and Russia.

Pence was informed on November 18 that something was amiss with Flynn.

So this investigation shouldn't come as a surprise.

Also, clearances are not given out by any Presidential administration. They are done via specific government agencies, comprised of people that are not appointees.


I've had a TS clearance for 15 years now. I cannot roll my eyes hard enough at Spicey's spin on this one.

Spicer is terrible at telling lies. This one was a particularly inept cover-up.

Wonder if he'll mention it again or just let it drop.

Default Trump Blames Obama for Mike Flynn in Fox News Interview Airing Tonight

President Donald Trump is following the lead of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and blaming former President Barack Obama for failing to properly vet Trump’s own nominee for national security adviser.

In an interview with Fox News that will air Friday night, Trump will say that it was Obama’s responsibility to vet former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — despite the fact that Flynn was pushed out of his job at the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014.

Quote:
"He was approved by the Obama administration at the highest level,” Trump said of Flynn, according to a preview transcript of the interview. “And when they said we didn’t vet, well, I guess Obama didn’t vet because he was approved by the highest level of security by the Obama administration.”

Trump blames Obama for Mike Flynn in Fox News interview airing tonight: report
That's our president. Blaming everyone else for his own failings.

But its true that Obama has no skills (other than reading the teleprompter) and a horrible work ethic.

So you are saying it's the previous administration's job to vet the next administration's cabinet members?

Obama fired Flynn. Too bad Trump didn't bother to find out why.
