This is the problem. You are so focused on "who leaked to the press" that you seem to not care about the conversations Flynn had and the potential illegality of them and are just fine with sweeping those under the rug.

DP.
Leaking this info to the press is a felony. And, it happened 4 years ago. About time for accountability.
Conversations Flynn had? Do you think if Grenelll thought his conversations were an issue that we would be having this discussion?

He was not charged with perjury.

Flynn plead guilty to lying to the FBI about having discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition. That is perjury.

No, it's not. Despite what Obama says.

Ok, so what are the charges that Flynn twice plead guilty to and affirmed under oath and before a judge?

Making false statements. That is a different charge than perjury. He was not under oath during the interview, thus, no perjury charge.

Department officials reviewing the Flynn case interviewed Bill Priestap, the former head of F.B.I. counterintelligence, two days before making their extraordinary request to drop the case to Judge Emmet G. Sullivan. They did not tell Judge Sullivan about Mr. Priestap’s interview. A Justice Department official said that they were in the process of writing up a report on the interview and that it would soon be filed with the court.

The department’s motion referred to notes that Mr. Priestap wrote around the bureau’s 2017 questioning of Mr. Flynn, who later pleaded guilty to lying to investigators during that interview. His lawyers said Mr. Priestap’s notes — recently uncovered during a review of the case — suggested that the F.B.I. was trying to entrap Mr. Flynn, and Attorney General William P. Barr said investigators were trying to “lay a perjury trap.”

That interpretation was wrong, Mr. Priestap told the prosecutors reviewing the case. He said that F.B.I. officials were trying to do the right thing in questioning Mr. Flynn and that he knew of no effort to set him up. Media reports about his notes misconstrued them, he said, according to the people familiar with the investigation.

Mmmmm, I love the smell of Rule 11 in the morning.

He told Trump not to hire him. He was right.

I think Joe will have to clarify his comments now that we know his name was on the list requesting the unmasking of Flynn.
Coincidentally, he made the request the same day the Ignatius story came out identifying Flynn.
