‘Where are the questions?’: Kayleigh McEnany demands reporters investigate Obama officials over Flynn unmasking

President Trump’s spokeswoman is criticizing White House reporters who failed to ask former Obama administration officials about their roles in the investigation into Trump campaign staff and advisers, including retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

By Washington Examiner, May 22, 2020:

Responding to a question regarding whether Trump has considered pardoning Barack Obama for his alleged role in unmasking Flynn, Kayleigh McEnany pivoted to the reporters in the room whom she accused of failing to investigate the former president and his associates fully.

“Who I did speak to about President Obama and the unmasking of general Michael Flynn are the people in this room,” she said. “I laid out a series of questions that any good journalist would want to answer about why people were unmasked and all sorts of questions, and I just wanted to follow up with you guys on that. Did anyone take it upon themselves to pose any questions about Michael Flynn and unmasking the President Obama spokesperson?”

McEnany paused for a moment before feigning surprise at what she and the Trump administration view as a failure by the media to thoroughly vet the timeline of events surrounding investigations into the communications of Flynn during the transition period between Obama and Trump.

Flynn was ousted from his position as a top Trump adviser after communications he had with then-Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak in December 2016 were leaked to the press. Flynn, whose identity should have remained sealed by top U.S. intelligence agents, was unmasked to 39 authorized individuals of the Obama administration, including former Vice President Joe Biden, although it is not clear if he, in fact, asked for Flynn to be unmasked.

FBI agents found “no derogatory information” on the communications between Flynn and Kislyak, but agent Peter Strzok demanded the investigation into Flynn continue. Trump has accused members of the FBI of being “human scum,” and McEnany presented a set of slides with detailed questions for the reporters to use while engaging with Obama officials about their alleged roles in the unmasking of Flynn.

“I would like to lay out a series of questions, and perhaps if I write them out in a slide format, maybe we’re visual learners, and you guys will follow up with journalistic curiosity,” said McEnany. “So, No. 1: Why did the Obama administration use opposition research funded by a political organization and filled with foreign dirt to surveil members of the Trump campaign? No. 2: Why was Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn unmasked, not by the intel community entirely, but by Obama’s chief of staff, by the former Vice President, Joe Biden, by Susan Rice, by the treasury secretary?”

trump is showing his media savvy. invite the democrat-communist dorks who call themselves reporters to the white house, and then tell them about the muslim’s crimes and what they should be looking into rather than answer their stupid partisan questions.

It won’t make any difference. They will call him the usual slurs.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali went to .D.C. and testified about Islam and focused allot on FGM. It was like it never happened. They still love Muslims and don’t object to FGM.

So true. Today’s democrats operate as a cult, with all the earmarks of such a confidence game being run against an entire population of a nation. I believe Trump should make the news conferences open only to invitees, and those invitees should include only those journalists who are not members of the Media Cult. There are many new media now and it is time for their full acceptance by the Whitre House, regardless of their wealth, size, and influence within the democratic party.

No real American accepts the New York Times as a truth-telling journalistic media, so why should their trolls be allowed into the White House?

Her question was rhetorical while knowing the answer; the MSM is treasonous, a Fifth Column, the enemy within. The Democrats, the MSM’s overlords, are also the enemy within. Until, if ever, those deeming themselves traditional Democrats admit they have been hijacked by the radicalized Democrats, the Republic will face surge of treason, perfidy, by those of the now faux-Democratic Party, in reality the Communist Party of America. Not that I believe there are many traditional Democrats left in the nation.

The days of a DEM like Daniel Moynihan are long gone.

Indeed, the Democrats, I fear, will not stop this radical faction, as they are all radicalized. Most unsettling is those who have succumbed to this totalitarian, so-called Democratic Party.

Flynn was not unmasked because he was never masked. The FBI spied on him because they could.

When she used the term “good Journalist” she limited her referral to certain Journalists who lived in the past, Walter Cronkite and those like him. Todays journalists have been taught to color the actual news with their opinion based on their prejudices, and very few of them can present news without coloring it with their personal bias. It is shameful. I have come to the conclusion that the closer to real news comes from many of the TV personalities who present themselves of Fox news. People such as Bret, Martha, Tucker, and others there seem to avoid allowing their reporting to be influenced by their one-sided views which I refer to as the hate “Trump syndrome.” For that I am grateful as I flip between the media stations. Lemon and Joe are outrageously anti-Trump and it shows clearly in their reporting. To expect that they would even explore the notion that Obama was corrupt just will never happen, though there maybe truth in those accusations. I can only hope that right thinking people will also recognize the overt prejudice and refusal to present real and truthful facts to the public, and that the Democratic party is removed from control of our federal government.

I do not agree with your conclusions. Though they present the news more fairly than many within the media, and they are not so Trump oriented as Hannity, I believe they give the facts as they are, which allows their audience to reach conclusions from the facts given, which is what I expect from fair journalists. On the other hand CNN and MSN are so anti-Trump that they will not ever state any news that shows appropriate accomplishments by Trump, and they go out of their way to spin the news to the negative as it involves Trump. Besides, I am a Trump supporter who recognizes that he is far from perfect. Who is, I ask?

Walter Cronkite? Huh. Do some research on him. He was part of the fake news group.

Kayleigh McEnany is good. She has a quick mind, controls the briefing and puts the media on the spot. She likes being combative and she does her homework. IN a few months they should surprise her with a combat pay bonus check.

The Democrats are doing their utmost to block the information channels between the truth and the American people.
The press and the media, bribed and owned by the Democrats, the Chinese and the Muslims, are doing their utmost to cover up the truth and spread lies.
The administrations infiltrated and bribed by the Democrats, the Chinese and the Muslims will hold on to their posts with all their might.

The “silent” majority of Americans has been sucked, robbed, lied, transformed, humiliated by the Democrats governments for decades.
The American people need to get motivated to choose and to vote…

Yes. Trump is revealing the depth and width of the Swamp. It now appears that the Swamp is a nation-wide Cult of Anti-Americanism that has for many decades included the education system, and most importantly, ITS PRODUCTS, THE STUDENTS, WHO NOW, AS THOSE PRODUCTS, WORK NON-STOP TO RUIN THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC NAMED AMERICA.

Until Trump exposed them, or more accurately, made THEM expose THEMSELVES, as the traitors that they truly are, the average American knew little about the danger our nation was in.

We are yet far from being free from this Cult, but at least millions of us now realize that we have blood enemies living all around us, and we know what to do:

VOTE TRUMP AND HIS TEAM FROM TOP TO BOTTOM TUESDSY, NOV. 3, 2020!

The WH press corps does not attend the briefings to gather news or offer a solid perspective on it. They are there to disrupt and childishly act out to make themselves into click bait.

Ever notice how tame they are interviewing Trump as he is about to board a screaming Marine One chopper in the background and his face is the only one on camera?

They’re not interested at all in those types of questions. They’ll just call her racist for asking them and continue on, business as usual.
