He's trying, and failing, to save the narrative.

Flynn is a bookend to the activities of a President who had Democrats audit Joe The Plumber in Ohio simply because the man dared challenge the Democrat Party in general and Obama's tax policy in particular.

Obama had a Marxist viewpoint in his policy approaches and a Stalinist paradigm towards opposition.

I am fully convinced that the things done to Trump in terms of surveillance were done in a much more subtle form to the Romney Campaign in 2012. With the success of that operation, Obama and company grew more bold and expanded their operation with a goal towards ensuring an extension of his policy approaches through Hillary Clinton.

In their success and arrogance, they grew increasingly convinced that they could never be caught.

This could explain why Romney has become a RINO. They probably found dirt on him that he doesn't want exposed.

Which goes back to my point a couple of pages ago. Even if Barr succeeds, who's gonna know? AS in how are the average voting schmoes gonna learn what really happened to "Russia Russia Russia".

... Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has declassified a list of former Obama administration officials who were allegedly involved in the so-called "unmasking" of former national security adviser Michael Flynn in his conversations with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition, a senior U.S. official tells ABC News.

Grenell, who remains the U.S. ambassador to Germany along with being the acting DNI, visited the Justice Department last week and brought the list with him, according to the official....

According to Rice, "President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities 'by the book.'" But then she added a significant caveat to that "commitment": "From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia."

The next portion of the email is classified, but Rice then noted that "the President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would."

That is just what Comey did. The following day, Comey provided "an ostensibly similar briefing about Russian interference efforts during the 2016 campaign," and then "after that briefing, Comey privately briefed Trump on the most salacious and absurd 'pee tape' allegation in the Christopher Steele dossier."

While Comey found it important to tell the incoming commander-in-chief of the ridiculous "pee tape" "intel," following Obama's guidance the then-FBI director did not tell Trump that the FBI had an active investigation into Trump's incoming national security advisor predicated on the idea that Flynn was potentially a Russian agent.

Prepare to Discover That Michael Flynn WAS NOT Unmasked But Everyone Else Was

If my long-standing hunch is correct, we'll soon find out that: (1) Michael Flynn was the walking surveillance infection; (2) those who Flynn came into contact with will cross-reference to the 702 "About" queries; and (3) the FBI reports on those Flynn contacts will contain the unmasked names of the various Trump campaign officials that Barr might soon release.

The FBI did not need a Title-1 FISA surveillance warrant against Flynn because they were already conducting regular Title-3 surveillance on him as a potential domestic national security risk. Thus it was all Flynn's calls being monitored, not just Sergey Kislyak.
