His guard was never down. He knew he was a target long before talking to the FBI, because the calls he had with Kislyak leaked to media before Trump was even inaugurated. Also, fucking Obama basically telegraphed it by warning Trump about hiring Flynn just two days after the election, which I'm sure he relayed to Flynn since he hired him anyway. Then, day four as NSA, McCabe all of a sudden wants to send some agents over to have a "totes friendly chat" and no need for lawyers. Nah, Flynn saw that shit coming ten miles away.
This was strategic. The day before the interview. Getting him to drop his guard.
I believe you are correct, I dont think the Post was the originator of this story either...
No, they weren't. And it wasn't an official announcement, it was an fbi leak from an anonymous source.

I'm not saying it was, I'm saying that's why they did this.
