Granted, it doesn't take much to bamboozle the rubes who watch Fox & Friends (including Trump himself), but they're working overtime at it these days, regardless.
Fox & Friends' Brian 'Shit-fer-Brains' Kilmeade tries to convince the F&F audience that the real scandal is "Who (in the Obama Administration) gave the NSA permission to listen in on Donald Trump's incoming National Security Advisor's conversation with the Russian Ambassador."
Watch him pitch that line at the 2:00 minute mark of the video (from C&L)

Yeah, that's right....the Obama Administration was trying to get dirt on Trump's people before they entered office. I'm sure that was good enough to fool the troglodytes that watch Faux Noise, but to anybody with two neurons to rub together, we all know that they DIDN'T get permission to SPY ON FLYNN. They had STANDING ORDERS to SPY ON THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR, and were shocked when they heard him RECEIVE a call from FLYNN, where he discussed lifting the Obama sanctions against Russia. You'd better not ask that question to any of the guests that you interview, because they might actually MENTION that.
This, of course, raises another obvious questions: Why would any so-called intelligence official call a Russian government official without assuming the Russian official's communications would be bugged? And, even if you did realize that, why would you be stupid enough to tell the FBI that you didn't talk to him, and you never discussed sanctions, when there was a 99% chance that the FBI agent who's interviewing you is sitting there LOOKING AT THE TRANSCRIPT as he's speaking to you.
I don't care if Flynn is a traitor, at this point I'm just glad he's gone because he was obviously a first class idiot!

He is old enough to remember the Iran-Contra affair and G. Gordon Liddy taking the blame for Bush Sr. and Reagan.
