@CraigJCG @dpakman @joerogan Someone leaks Flynns name to WaPo (illegal). Then on Jan 12th, Wapo mentions Logan act against Flynn, reveals his calls

Jan 24th FBI notes suggest they want to get Flynn to lie to prosecute him or "get him fired"

@CraigJCG @dpakman @joerogan According to NPR -

"It also apparently avoided prospective charges for Flynn's son. Flynn and his attorneys considered the deal to be the least bad way out of the jam."

@CraigJCG @dpakman @joerogan The story is in the weeds which makes it difficult for people to understand, apparently even Trump himself

I cant even begin to cover all of the details of Obamagate here on twitter and it was even difficult to get to it in 25 minutes

@CraigJCG @dpakman @joerogan So far it seems like Flynn was set up and he plead guilty because the FBI threatened his family
