1/ Remember the Jan 5, 2017 White House meeting involving Obama, DAG Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Comey and VP Biden? Rice wrote herself a memo about it. We've only had a vague idea that this meeting was about withholding national security info from Trump thehill.com/opinion/white-…
2/ Joe DiGenova tells us that the topic was what to do GENERAL FLYNN. Obama said he wasn't instructing something from a law enforcement perspective, but wanted everything done by the book. According to DiGenova, this was about GENERAL FLYNN
3/ DiGenova also adds a new name to the mix. DiGenova says Ben Rhodes attended as well. I wonder why his name wasn't in earlier reports.
4/ We've long known that on Jan 19, 2017, Comey, Yates, Clapper and Brennan discussed what to do about GENERAL FLYNN. But DiGenova specifically mentioned the Jan 5 meeting that included President Obama. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
5/5 Think of the implications of this. Pres. Obama himself led a meeting on what to do about GENERAL FLYNN's discussions with Kislyak. A week later, the FLYNN operation began with a leak to WaPo's David Ignatius regarding the Flynn/Kislyak conversation. washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-d…
h/t @mindnotforrent ... I started to DVR Dobbs after our conversation some time back. Wheat-to-chaff ratio sucks, but there was something worthwhile tonight.
