In a serial arson investigation, it is always the creeper who shows the most interest in the suspicious fires who becomes the primary suspect.
Likewise, from the earliest days, President Barack Obama has shown a curious — and unseemly — obsession with the case of Gen. Michael Flynn. The whole saga began six years ago when Mr. Obama fired the retired three-star general from his post as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Ordinarily, such a firing would seem like the routine prerogative of a civilian commander-in-chief. But after all we have witnessed and learned about the Obama administration over the four years, Gen. Flynn’s firing raises a host of troubling new questions.

Remember the good ol’ days when the outgoing Clinton administration vandalized the White House as they left? They ripped off all the “W†keys from White House computer keyboards, in a slap at incoming President George W. Bush. As with everything he touched, Mr. Obama took such pedestrian partisan punking and weaponized it beyond comprehension.
It was not enough to just fire Mr. Flynn from his own administration. He launched a federal investigation into the guy after Mr. Flynn surfaced in the Trump campaign. Then he told President Trump during the transition period not to hire Gen. Flynn. Then Mr. Obama made sure to keep up with the fraudulent federal investigation into Gen. Flynn. And his administration went to bizarre efforts to normalize all of it, with a strange “memo to self†in the final flickering moments of the Obama administration.
Mr. Obama simply could not let it go.
In an Oval Office meeting shortly after Mr. Trump won the presidency, Mr. Obama scrapped the usual pleasantries in which outgoing presidents share wisdom and inspiration with the incoming president. Instead, Mr. Obama whined to Mr. Trump that he was “not a fan†of Gen. Flynn.
