President Donald Trump is distancing himself from Michael Flynn’s troubles, tweeting that it was the Obama administration that gave Flynn the “highest security clearance.”
Flynn was dismissed under President Barack Obama as defense intelligence chief before becoming an ardent supporter of Trump and eventually Trump’s national security adviser.
Sally Yates, former deputy attorney general, is expected to testify Monday that she had warned the White House about contacts between Flynn and Russia before being fired by Trump.
Trump tweeted Monday that Flynn was “given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration – but the Fake News seldom likes talking about that.”
In a second tweet, Trump said Yates should be asked under oath “if she knows how classified information got into the newspapers” soon after she raised concerns about Flynn.

Sorry degenerate draft dodger, that’s not the only criteria for vetting someone for that or any cabinet position, especially for extreme vetting! What a sorry excuse for a president or businessman! Obama fired the guy, I guess that’s why you hired him.
The only thing the Trumpkopf-in-Chief cannot distance himself from is HIMSELF…he has tried over and over again but sadly, modern media make it difficult for him to rewrite what he has said and done although you have to give him credit for trying. Without a doubt, he is a genius in terms of throwing out diversionary issues which the media, like a pack of sheep, going running after until he throws out some new tidbit and then they go running in the other direction.
So now we know the real fake news and alternative facts, the guy you blamed for Flynn (obama) told you NOT to hire him! You liar, you tipish, you embarrassment to this country!
