Cruz: Flynn Firing Was Obama Admin, Media Orchestrated Hit JobObama administration loyalists leaked classified material against Flynn
http://freebeacon.com/national-security/cruz-flynn-firing-obama-admin-media-orchestrated-hit-job/The firing of former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn was a politically motivated hit job orchestrated by opponents of the president still in the administration and their media allies, according to Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Tx.), who told a small gathering of reporters on Thursday that highly classified information was "weaponized to advance a political agenda."
Cruz, speaking on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, made reference to a Washington Free Beacon report last week disclosing how former Obama administration holdovers and loyalists spread classified information to their allies in the media as part of an effort to handicap the Trump administration's national security apparatus.
These leaks, Cruz said, constitute a "federal crime" and should worry all American citizens about the status of America's intelligence community, which has been accused of leaking information to undermine Trump.
