Vindictive reporters. Overworked staff. Obama ‘sleeper cells.’

Shell-shocked White House officials and their allies searched Tuesday for someone to blame for the late-night resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. His supporters within a somewhat divided White House quickly decided that anyone but Flynn was at fault.
Yes, Flynn may have spoken in secret with the Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak just as the Obama administration was imposing new sanctions on the Kremlin. And some even concede it’s possible that Flynn, a retired lieutenant general, wasn’t entirely forthright with people like Vice President
Mike Pence about those conversations.
But the real villains in this story are the former Obama administration staffers who leaked this damaging information—and the media for running with it.
One senior administration official blamed many of the leaks on holdovers from the Obama administration still working at outside law enforcement and national security agencies.
