As ObamaGate continues to unravel Obama’s organized crime syndicate, and as documents continue to be declassified in the case, there remains a lingering question…

Who leaked General Flynn’s unmasked name to the media?

It’s a damned good question, and I’ll get back to that in a bit, but first, we need to have a look at the Flynn unmasking timeline.

That timeline is far more extensive than most know, and I suggest more revealing than it seems on the surface.

Just more than a week ago, the list of names requesting the unmasking of the name of the other guy on the call with Russian Ambassador Kislyak was declassified, and it reportedly contained the names of the usual suspects. Joe Biden, then-FBI Director James Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Obama’s then-chief of staff Denis McDonough, then Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, former US Ambassador to Russia, John Tefft and more, leading all the way up to the head of the crime syndicate, Barack Hussein Obama.

That’s all been well-publicized over the past 10 days or so, but what hasn’t been as well publicized is the timeline of those requests. We know, for example, that McDonough made his request for the unmasking on the same day as what we now know was a rather clandestine meeting in the Oval Office, January 5^th, 2017, where a good number of high-level Obama operatives were in attendance.

We also know that Biden’s request for unmasking came in on January 12^th, 2017, a scant week after that particular meeting, and that date is of great interest regarding a reason for which I’ll shortly return. But when did the unmasking requests really begin? The answer to that may well surprise many.

The unmasking requests regarding what we now know was a benign phone conversation on December 29^th, 2016, between General Flynn, and Ambassador Kislyak actually began with McDonough’s request on January 5^th…or did it? Actually, the January 5^th date is incorrect, as Obama syndicate officials actually began to request the unmasking of General Flynn on November 8^th, 2016. November 8^th, 2016 was nearly 8 weeks prior to the December 29^th phone call with Kislyak, and we’ve all be told that the unmasking was directly related to that phone call.

How can that possibly be?

It can’t. It means that Obama crime syndicate operatives were busy setting Flynn up literally on election day…November 8^th, 2016, because by then, they had either already seen the handwriting on the wall…or they were taking out an insurance policy.

An insurance policy? Remember Peter Strzok’s now infamous text to his lover, Lisa Page…”I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office – that there’s no way he gets elected – but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40…”

That text was sent by Strzok to Page on August 15^th, 2016 which means three things…1) They were seeing the handwriting on the wall, 2) The FBI was already starting to talk about an insurance policy in case Hillary lost in November, and 3) They needed a target.

General Flynn had been forced out of the military and as Obama’s head of Pentagon Intelligence on August 7^th, 2014, because he disagreed with Obama’s tacit approach to terrorism, and on February 26^th, 2016, Flynn became an official advisor to then candidate Donald Trump. Flynn, at that point was on Obama’s radar, and on November 10^th, 2016, Obama “warned” Trump regarding General Flynn.

November 10^th…interesting…as that was just 2 days after the first official request to unmask Flynn came from Obama’s crime syndicate.

On November 18^th, 2016, just 10 days after Trump’s election victory, President Elect Trump tapped Flynn as his National Security Director, and while Flynn had been involved in high-level meetings with both Trump, and Russian and Turkish officials for several months, the phone call that became the key factor in the set-up of General Flynn, and thus brought about the flurry of unmasking requests didn’t take place until December 29^th, 2016.

That flurry of requests to unmask Flynn literally started on January 5^th, the day of the now infamous meeting in the Oval Office, and the deed had been done in very short order indeed, as it was on January 12^th, 2017 that David Ignatius, in a column for the Washington Post revealed Flynn’s name for the whole world to see.

Remember…January 12^th, 2017 was also the same day that then Vice President Joe Biden made his formal request to unmask General Flynn. Had Flynn been unmasked before January 12^th, 2017, Biden would have had no reason whatsoever to make that request, and that pretty well establishes exactly when the unmasking was done.

That unmasking, we now know, was classified which means only those in a need to know position should have been aware of it, and only those in that need to know circle of the Obama crime syndicate were to have had access to Flynn’s name. Guess who wasn’t in that circle? Guess who didn’t have clearance to see the name that had just been unmasked?

David Ignatius, of the Washington Post, that’s who.

Leaking classified information or classified intel to the media is a federal crime under 18 U.S. Code § 798, and among other penalties can be punished by up to 10 years in federal prison.

So, that takes us back to the original question posed near the top of this commentary…who leaked General Flynn’s name to the media? Who told David Ignatius of the Washington Post about Flynn’s conversation with Kislyak even though we now know that conversation to have been benign regarding the allegation that he had discussed sanctions with the Ambassador?

There’s been a good deal of speculation over the past couple of weeks regarding who the leaker was, and much of that speculation has centered on a couple of suspects, McDonough who, as Obama’s Chief of Staff made his request to unmask Flynn on January 5^th, the day of the Oval Office meeting, and then Vice President Joe Biden, who made his request the same day Flynn’s name later appeared in the Washington Post column written by Ignatius.

I rather doubt it was Denis McDonough as his request was made a week before the leaked classified info came out, and I also rather doubt the head of the syndicate would have left such a job for a mere Chief of Staff to carry out.

That leaves Joe Biden. Could Biden have leaked Flynn’s name to Ignatius at the Washington Post? I suppose it’s possible, but to me it seems unlikely. The crime syndicate headed by Obama knew that such a leak was illegal, and they would have been plenty aware of the penalty, and the ramifications. Besides, I’m convinced that the eventual 2020 candidacy of Joe Biden had already been both discussed, and decided within days of Hillary’s 2016 defeat.

The Obama crime syndicate would not have taken that chance with Hillary’s replacement for Obama’s defacto 3^rd term in office. They needed someone else to engineer that leak to the media…a scapegoat if you will.

The Obama crime syndicate would have required, as any organized crime syndicate does from time to time…someone both experienced in such a covert operation, and someone deemed to be…expendable.

Who had such experience? Who was available who had already taken part in such an operation? Who had an axe to grind with President Elect Donald Trump? Who would the Obama crime syndicate deem as…expendable?

One name leaps to mind…

Senator John McCain.

BuzFeed had just published the Steele dossier, another manufactured hit piece against President Trump on January 10^th, 2017. That means BuzzFeed got that dossier on or about the same day, and the rest of the media including CNN, soon followed suit. We also know from emails uncovered by Judicial Watch that the FBI, under James Comey who was part of the Obama crime syndicate knew that it was John McCain who leaked the dossier to BuzzFeed and other members of the media including the Washington Post.

To be clear, it probably wasn’t McCain himself, rather one of his minions, Former State Department official and McCain associate David Kramer who most likely passed along that particular document to the media, and we know this to be the case because the text of the BuzzFeed published version and the version of the dossier given directly to Kramer by Steele himself were identical.

John McCain, a Trump hater through and through had just seen to it that the fraudulent Steele dossier made it into the hands of the Trump hating media. He’d shown himself capable of such a covert operation, and was in that moment, the equivalent of a “made-man” in organized crime syndicate parlance.

Little did the Obama crime syndicate know at the time, in January of 2017, that McCain would be diagnosed just a few months later with incurable cancer, but to them, he was indeed dispensable due to the fact that he was a Republican, even if in name only, and had already proven himself to be a useful, and vengeful idiot.

Can I say definitively that McCain was the source of the leaking of Flynn’s name to the Washington Post? No, but that is my supposition based not only on the timeline as outlined above, and on what we now know as fact that it was McCain who gave the Steele dossier to Comey’s FBI and to assorted members of the Trump-hating liberal media but there is something else that leads me to believe that McCain’s name deserves to be in the mix as the leaker…that being that the Washington Post’s David Ignatius liked John McCain, writing in glowing terms of the Senator from Arizona all the way back to 2006, and again in 2013. McCain was, no doubt, aware of the fact that he had a media friend in Ignatius.

That leaves but one final question…IF McCain leaked the unmasking of General Flynn to Ignatius at the Washington Post…who told McCain?

IF, and again that’s IF McCain was the leaker, and there is likely no way we will ever know for sure because if he did it, he took it to the grave, Flynn’s name was likely to have been given to McCain by his friend and former Senate colleague…Joe Biden.

My guess is that nobody will ever be prosecuted for leaking Flynn’s name to the media. My guess is that we will never know for sure who did it, but my guess, based on informed and researched speculation, is that it was…John McCain.
