I think there is a rather simple explanation. What if the time code is specifically written into the Dominion/ Scytl program and they already had that intel? The whitehats would know to look for specific time codes in the programs, because a simple counting algorithm should have no time codes.
What if those 3:42AM dumps were used by CIA to manipulate foreign elections and a cyber spook from CIA brought that intel to the whitehats ... Or maybe Flynn knew this was how it was done because of their super top secret security clearance?
Specific time to manipulate tally was known to be written into the program.
He was onto them and let them play right into his hands.
