Flynn: I think the administration.
Hasan: So the administration turned a blind eye to your analysis?
Flynn: I don't know that they turned a blind eye, I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision.
Hasan: A willful decision to support an insurgency that had Salafists, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood?
Flynn: It was a willful decision to do what they're doing.
Let's put into broader context the Fourth Estate's malfeasance in not connecting the 2012 DIA report to Trump's accusation. In the last couple of weeks we've seen a steady parade of Republican poobahs and mandarins coming out against Trump (some overtly for Hillary though most pretending there's some other alternative), plus a veritable Who's Who of the Deep State responsible for every God-awful mess abroad, in both a GOP lineup and a bipartisan one. (If Trump does win, he'll at least save time not having to draw up his own Enemies' List.) And let's not forget the former Acting CIA Director who's calling for assassinations of Russian personnel (and Iranians) in Syria. Sure! It's all in good fun! What could possibly go wrong?
In a decent society, most of these people would be in jail, not telling us who's "unqualified" to keep implementing the same disastrous policies they've given us all these years. Instead, their sage pronouncements are given saturation media exposure while the smoking gun that proves Trump's case on ISIS gets the Memory Hole.
To say the playing field is tilted doesn't even begin to describe it. The real question is whether the American public can see it for what it is.
