Looks Like Flynn never got a CIA

White House security clearance that he needed to fill the role of NSA after all. This story is just getting more and more interesting.

It would be perfect to see Flynn go to prison for this and have him the unwitting architect of the destruction of the Trump administration.

If he did not have an interim clearance granted than anyone who allowed him access to classified materials acted criminally and at a minimum should have clearances revoked, if not prosecuted.

Hopefully we'll find out. I wouldn't be surprised if they never even bothered to submit for clearance. The transition team seemed completely out of their depth and without a single notion about how things are done.
