But according to this newly declassified paragraph in an email sent by Democrat Susan Rice Comey said that Flynn couldn't be trusted since he was doing his job:
Director Comey affirmed that he is processing “by the book” as it relates to law enforcement. From a national security perspective, Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian ambassador Kislyak. Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information. President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information related to Russia to Flynn. Comey replied “potentially.” He added that he has no indication that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak, but he noted that “the level of communication is unusual.”
Before delving into the implications of this paragraph we should note that there is absolutely nothing in it that could have justified classifying it. It was being deliberately hidden by the deep state because it reveals just how dishonest Comey and the rest of Obama's cronies were.
Comey's argument was that it would be justified to keep Trump in the dark about information the US had about Russia since by denying it to Flynn they effectively denied it to Trump.
The basis for that unheard of claim was only that Comey thought that Flynn wasn't doing Flynn's job the way Comey thought he should.
Who is to decide that there is too much talking with the Russians by the incoming Trump administration? Certainly not the FBI.
More importantly Comey is admitting that Flynn wasn't actually conspiring with Russia or giving away American secrets. That's because we know that the Intelligence Community (IC) was listening into and recording Flynns calls to the Russian Ambassador. If there had been anything untoward in those intercepts Comey could have cited that not just the fact that Flynn was talking to the Russians too much.
But even the too much argument has problems. To date all of the attacks on Flynn are based on one and only one phone call. We have no evidence of how frequent "too frequent" is.
And given Comey's hatred of Trump and his propensity to lie we can't trust him on the matter.
