Former CIA analyst and retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer during a Wednesday appearance on Fox Business Network named several Obama administration officials he suspected were behind the leaks prompting former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s resignation.

"Risk and Reward" host Deirdre Bolton asked Shaffer whether he thought leaks from the Obama administration were "the problem."

"Absolutely," Shaffer answered, saying the Obama administration was "directly involved" with the leak.

Shaffer said the blame lay "squarely at the feet of" the former CIA director John Brennan, former director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper, and former deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes.

Dubya did nothing against Obama's admin; but apparently, Obama/Clinton are behind this dirty play alright.

[Bigun]

The CIA needs a thorough scrubbing!  I hope Mike Pompeo is up to doing what needs doing.

Unannounced Polygraph exams all around!

Dubya did nothing against Obama's admin; but apparently, Obama/Clinton are behind this dirty play alright.

And they are smart and relentless enough to know that they on can count on help from the usual cast of fellow travelers, dupes and useful idiots.

Hello Mitch, Linda and Crazy John.

[Frank Cannon]

Well whoever leaked this is in legal jeopardy.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Well whoever leaked this is in legal jeopardy.

Agreed.


Law is the law. Flynn did something unethical and dishonest but that doesn't give you the right to break the law to get the info out there.

????

Was he supposed to use a time machine?

[Hondo69]

Well whoever leaked this is in legal jeopardy.

Grand Jury time.

Funny thing about Grand Juries - they can send you to the big house for lying.  Which is why a Grand Jury was never called once during the Obama administration.

[Sanguine]

Agreed.

Do we even know that?  I can't figure out what it was that Flynn did.

Lied to the VP didn't he?

Lied to the VP didn't he?

He says not.

Not to throw water on the fire, but Shaffer hasn't been in the government, intelligence community, or any military fashion since 2006. All he is doing is guessing. He usually comes out with these big theories right about the time he is going to release a book.

Now, he may have sources or evidence and this may be true, but on the surface, this just seems like conjecture at best.  I wouldn't take it as fact or evidence either way.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

He says not.

Well then why did he resign? Supposedly Trump said, at Mar-a-lago, "why is he here" when he saw Flynn at the shindig. They got rid of him for a reason didn't they?

It's conjecture based on solid experience and as good as you are likely to get anywhere else.

I don't know.  The pieces don't fit.

[INVAR]

Well whoever leaked this is in legal jeopardy.

From who?

All the plants Obama has placed throughout the Judiciary, or the ones too timid to speak an unkind syllable to the Agenda the that been pushed for the last 8 years?

There is a REASON Obama is staying in D.C., and it's not so his so-called kids can finish school there.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

He says not.

Who's "he"?

Flynn or Pence?

[Sanguine]

Who's "he"?

Flynn or Pence?

Flynn.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Flynn.

Maybe he's... lying? There must be some reason he resigned without a fight.

[Sanguine]

Maybe he's... lying? There must be some reason he resigned without a fight.

Could be several reasons, like he felt he was being thrown to the wolves by the administration, or possibly he felt that his continued presence was a distraction and gave more fuel to the dem efforts.

[Rivergirl]

Unless the calls and contracts with Russian intelligence activists were never made there really is no excuse that is plausible.

Obama made me do it.........just doesn't cut it.

Which makes this nothing but Fake News.

How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency

When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.

In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.

Tonight on Tucker Carlson's show Joe Di Genova called what's going on nothing short of a coup.  I don't think he is far off the mark.
