Eli Lake: FBI’s Treatment of Mike Flynn Was an Assault on the 2016 Election

Bloomberg View columnist Eli Lake joined Brian Kilmeade to discuss the Obama administration’s treatment of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

“I always thought that the bigger point here was not Mike Flynn’s civil liberties, as important as that is, it was the fact that this was really an assault on the 2016 election,” Lake said. “To use leaks… to take out and to force a resignation of the incoming president’s national security advisor on his third week in the job, that was, I thought, a line that was crossed. It was in some ways abusive,” Lake added.
