Cruz: Flynn Firing Was Obama Admin, Media Orchestrated Hit Job

Obama 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.

Huh? Who is wielding the knife, as you understand? My opinion is that Trump made a mistake in firing Flynn.

Yes, I still don't understand why Trump did it.

May I suggest Trump decided to pick which battles are worth fighting, instead of fighting every battle that comes along?

Besides, Flynn did mislead the VP, and I doubt Pence was happy with that.

Flynn probably would have done his job very well; but he is the subject of the above, even taking into account a slant on the news, this is a bit out there.

Possible Pence was left out of the loop to an extent. Perhaps that does not factor into the reality of what had to happen. But, I continue to belive the firing was hasty.

Pence did not learn that Flynn misled him on Russia until last week

Yeah pretty much.

You simply can't blame everyone else for the bad behavior of the treasonous behavior of this administration.

Totally agree, Cruz goes off on something that sounds like something Michael Savage said and backstabs the Bushes at the same time.  He's all about himself.

This is also a lot like what Trump and others said about 2 weeks ago; Cruz is probably trying to butter Trump up; look like a faithful soldier and he does usually vote conservatively, it just seems kind of disingenuous.

Name some instead of just continually running off at the mouth about it!

There has been nothing even remotely approaching "treasonous behavior" coming out of this administration and YOU know it!

Cruz is just echoing Trumpaganda now.

Trump fired Flynn before Trump was exposed. It's as obvious as a heart attack.

But Trump supporters and his leashed poodle have to field conspiracies and distract from the real story.

Leashed Poodle? Huh? That's pretty funny in talking about a President who won an electoral college landslide and won the popular vote excepting the deep blue state of California.

So, just the Trump supporters talk about conspiracy, none of this is from the mainstream media or even Conservative media. What nonsense.
