U.S. Army General Michael T. Flynn was the former head of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency who was ousted by the Obama administration for his criticism of President Obama's lackadaisical response to the rise, cross-border aggression, and the atrocious human rights violations of the Islamic State.[1] Flynn advised candidate Donald Trump throughout the 2016 U.S. Presidential election on foreign policy matters. Flynn resigned from the position of National Security Advisor early in the Trump administration in a fake news scandal put out by the Washington Post using classified information gathered and leaked illegally by the Obama administration targetting domestic political opponents.[2][3]
Kislyak
Flynn's call to Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, the actual audio gathered and any transcript is called “Raw FISA-acquired information,” and its distribution would be highly restricted. At the NSA, not more than 40 or so analysts or senior managers would be read into the classification sub-sub compartment that contains it, called RAGTIME-A,B,C D or P, where each letter stands for one of five different categories of foreign intelligence.
Five days after Flynn's call to Kislyak call Attn. Gen. Loretta Lynch signed off on new rules permitting the NSA to disseminate “raw signals intelligence information.”[4] :"In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections," the New York Times reports on 12 January; basically, an authorization to circulate the Brennan memo issued 6 January currently in the works.[5]
The substance of Flynn's call was incorporated into a CIA memo authorized by James Brennen intended to impugn and de-legitimize President-elect Donald Trump which was widely circulated under the new NSA rules.
