Honestly it's hilarious to read Trumpshill's characterization of the Oval Office conversation and the reality of it.
Obama opens that he's trying to be sure the team doesn't do anything improper, but if the incoming National Security Adviser is a Russian agent, DONT SHARE INFORMATION. They had intelligence information that Trump, or anybody else, did not have. So Obama was just doing due diligence.
Those officials did not ask Flynn to compromise himself... he did it willingly. Thus, he was scrutinized.
For several years of the Crossfire Hurricane scandal the official line was that Obama/Biden had no involvement at all. We only find out that Comey/Yates/Obama/Biden all had a sit down to discuss Flynn and the russia investigation and 'initiating anything' from an email that Susan Rice
sent herself. That whole totally innocent thing where a top level official decides to keep a timestamped record of a secret meeting that never happened in order to attest that they did absolutely nothing wrong in it and vowed to only follow the book with due diligence
Two weeks after that meeting Comey orchestrated a setup on Flynn, intentionally trying to trap him into lying to FBI agents he sent specifically to ask about something secret that Comey already knew he couldn't talk about, but that Comey already knew about by wiretapping Flynn. And then immediately turned around and tried to use that to prosecute him. C'mon Icemage, even you have to admit that wasn't just some random conversation between officials, Comey set it up explicitly for the purpose of entrapping Flynn, and they said as much in their notes of the encounter.
I'm also happy to refresh your memory on the physical evidence in
that case, we have E.W. Priestap's notes from the meeting where he wrote:
“What is our goal?” Priestap wrote in the notes. “Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”seriously what do you want, for Obama to dance naked in front of you wearing a billboard that reads "I told them to do it"?
Why do you think Susan Rice was keeping this incredibly conspicuous and non-organic email record of that meeting? What could have transpired in front of her, that she felt the need to keep a note that would try to cover their asses in case this meeting ever came to light? Why did Comey & McCabe and Strzok and Yates and their wings of the DoJ/FBI spend the next year trying desperately to leak everything they could do the media, spy on political opponents, fabricate evidence when they couldn't find any dirt, lie to judges, lie to the public, lie to congressmen, and replace 'intraagency cooperation' with 'siege mentality'? Didn't Obama tell them to do it by the book? Wasn't aware "by the book" included personally leaking stories to the WSJ and spying on political rivals
