FOX News: Obama knew details of wiretapped Flynn phone calls, surprising top DOJ official in meeting with Biden, declassified docs show
President Obama was aware of the details of then-incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn's intercepted December 2016 phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, apparently surprising then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, according to documents released Thursday as exhibits to the government's motion to dismiss the Flynn case.
Obama's unexpectedly intimate knowledge of the details of Flynn's calls, which the FBI said at the time were not criminal in nature, raised eyebrows because of his own history with Flynn -- and because top FBI officials secretly discussed whether their goal was to "get [Flynn] fired" when they interviewed him in the White House on January 24, 2017.

Update: BOMBSHELL: Obama Knew of Flynn Wiretaps, Declassified Docs Show (PJ Media)
WNU Editor: First things first. No one else in the media is carrying this story (so far). That is too bad. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates remarks on President Obama's awareness that Michael Flynn was being wiretapped are truly eye-opening. Bottom line. We have sworn testimony from a Deputy Attorney General that President Obama was fully aware that a senior official in Trump's incoming administration was being spied upon by his administration. I have always wondered on when did President Obama knew that the Justice Department and other related agencies were "spying" on Trump officials. We now know through these declassified documents that President Obama was fully aware on January 5, 2017 on what was happening. This is, to put it bluntly, the "smoking gun". The mainstream media will try to bury this story, and the former President's supporters will give him a pass. But this story is not going to die. According to Susan Rice's testimony, it looks like former Vice-President Biden was also in this meeting, which means he was aware of what was happening.
