Byron York on Flynn, Russia: We Still Don’t Know Exactly What Was Taking Place in the Obama White House

‘After all, he was the president when all of that was happening’

EXCERPT:

YORK: “When I said the president sent everybody out of the room except Comey and Yates, two other people were in the room. Vice President Joe Biden, that might come up sometime in the campaign. And Susan Rice who is the national security advisor. The interesting thing about that is on January 20th, Inauguration Day at virtually the moment Donald Trump becomes president and Barack Obama leaves the presidency, Susan Rice writes a memo to herself about that meeting on January 5th and she emphasizes twice that the president told everybody that he wanted to do everything in the Flynn matter, quote, 'by the book.' He said that a couple of times, by the book. It struck investigators it was just kind of odd, kind of protesting too much perhaps. They don’t really know what was going on there. So even though Flynn -- these Flynn charges seem to be history now, we still don’t know exactly what was taking place in the Obama White House."
