The whole idea that Obama's vetting offers an excuse seems irrational in the first place .... given that the payments the Turks and Russians made to Flynn occurred after he was fired by the Obama administration.

In Trump's buck pass, was Obama meant to predict that Flynn would one day solicit payments from Russia and Turkey after he lost his job? Or is he claiming that Obama's team was required to vet people who don't work for the government any more?

What this new information seems to suggest is that Trump is trying very hard to protect Flynn. This could be loyalty; but although Trump requires loyalty he has shown no signs of offering it. So the more likely explanation is that Trump knows that Flynn is a liability in the Russia investigation and he is desperately trying to prevent him from revealing his knowledge.

Trump surely knows that Flynn was vetted. I guess he knows his Fox News audience will buy any explanation he offers.

NBC News confirms Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions all lied about vetting Michael Flynn
By Bill Palmer
Updated: 10:49 pm EDT Fri Apr 28, 2017

Michael Flynn just became an even bigger problem for Donald Trump and several key players in his administration. As it’s gradually come to light that Flynn had been on the take from Russia and Turkey during the campaign, and that the government had warned him not to do so years ago, the Trump White House floated the claim that it hadn’t bothered to vet Flynn because he had already been vetted by the Obama administration. But that’s now blowing back on them in a big way.

It was already bizarre for the Trump administration to claim that it had relied on the Obama administration’s prior vetting of Michael Flynn, as Obama fired Flynn back in 2014. That alone should have logically warranted Flynn being subsequently re-vetted when the Trump White House decided to make him the National Security Adviser this year.

Sure enough, on Friday night, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow reported on-air that the Trump White House did vet Michael Flynn; she got the information from NBC News reporter Andrea Mitchell. This confirms the Trump administration knew Flynn was dirty at the time it appointed him.

As Maddow explains, that means that everyone from Donald Trump to Mike Pence to Jeff Sessions to Sean Spicer has lied in one way or another about Flynn’s criminal status. Palmer Report pointed out yesterday that the Democrats may have been setting a trap for Pence all along when it came to Flynn (link).
