THE FLYNN CAPER – AT 9:41 A.M. ET:  We stress that this story depends on anonymous sources, and proposes one notion of what happened to General Flynn.  But it seems to me to have a great deal of substance and logic, and is worth examining.  From the Washington Free Beacon: 

The abrupt resignation Monday evening of White House national security adviser Michael Flynn is the culmination of a secret, months-long campaign by former Obama administration confidantes to handicap President Donald Trump's national security apparatus and preserve the nuclear deal with Iran, according to multiple sources in and out of the White House who described to the Washington Free Beacon a behind-the-scenes effort by these officials to plant a series of damaging stories about Flynn in the national media.

The effort, said to include former Obama administration adviser Ben Rhodes—the architect of a separate White House effort to create what he described as a pro-Iran echo chamber—included a small task force of Obama loyalists who deluged media outlets with stories aimed at eroding Flynn's credibility, multiple sources revealed.

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. The Free Beacon first reported on this effort in January.

COMMENT:  Please read the entire story carefully.  If true, it is a major scandal that will be suppressed by the mainstream media to protect the Obama legacy.  If true, it must be exposed by the Trump White House or by a congressional investigation. 

And the question must be asked:  What did Obama know and when did he know it?
