QUESTION: How did Mike Flynn get a security clearance? It’s even more a mystery now that the erstwhile White House national security adviser’s secret dealings with the Kremlin have been exposed. In January, I sued several federal agencies to find out—not just about the vetting of Flynn but also other top appointees in the Trump administration with dodgy foreign ties. As I noted in my Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) complaint, “Gen. Flynn has close ties to the Russian government” and “was forced to resign from the Defense Intelligence Agency for mismanagement,” among other issues that “would raise serious concerns about granting him access to” classified information.
