The Progressives in government loved Obama. Are they still trying to carve out a legacy for him no matter who gets in the way?

Was it Gen. Michael Flynn’s vocal opposition to Obama’s foreign policy and specifically the Iran deal that really caused his downfall?

Sources speaking to the Washington Free Beacon think so.

The anonymous sources said that the abrupt resignation of National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, was not about misrepresenting a talk with the Russian Ambassador to the Vice President. It was instead the result of a months-long campaign by former Obama-era operatives to preserve the Iran Nuclear Deal and handicap President Trump’s National Security team.

The operation primarily focused on discrediting Flynn, an opponent of the Iran nuclear deal, in order to handicap the Trump administration’s efforts to disclose secret details of the nuclear deal with Iran that had been long hidden by the Obama administration. Insiders familiar with the anti-Flynn campaign told the Free Beacon that these Obama loyalists plotted in the months before Trump’s inauguration to establish a set of roadblocks before Trump’s national security team, which includes several prominent opponents of diplomacy with Iran… …”It’s undeniable that the campaign to discredit Flynn was well underway before Inauguration Day, with a very troublesome and politicized series of leaks designed to undermine him,” said one veteran national security adviser with close ties to the White House team. “This pattern reminds me of the lead up to the Iran deal, and probably features the same cast of characters.” The Free Beacon first reported in January that, until its final days in office, the Obama administration hosted several pro-Iran voices who were critical in helping to mislead the American public about the terms of the nuclear agreement. This included a former Iranian government official and the head of the National Iranian American Council, or NIAC, which has been accused of serving as Iran’s mouthpiece in Washington, D.C… …”It’s actually Ben Rhodes, NIAC, and the Iranian mullahs who are celebrating today,” said one veteran foreign policy insider who is close to Flynn and the White House. “They know that the number one target is Iran … [and] they all knew their little sacred agreement with Iran was going to go off the books. So they got rid of Flynn before any of the [secret] agreements even surfaced.” Flynn had been preparing to publicize many of the details about the nuclear deal that had been intentionally hidden by the Obama administration as part of its effort to garner support for the deal, these sources said… …”The larger issue that should trouble the American people is the far-reaching power of unknown, unelected apparatchiks in the Intelligence Community deciding for themselves both who serves in government and what is an acceptable policy they will allow the elected representatives of the people to pursue,” said the national security adviser quoted above. “Put aside the issue of Flynn himself; that nameless, faceless bureaucrats were able to take out a president’s national security adviser based on a campaign of innuendo without evidence should worry every American,” the source explained.

Whew!

That changes everything, doesn’t it?

The President’s National Security Advisor may have been railroaded into resigning because he didn’t support Obama’s secretive Iran Nuclear Deal.

And a whisper campaign to the Media (D) commenced before the Inauguration to oust Michael Flynn.

Looks like we need some ‘Swamp Draining’ in the Intelligence Community.
