Discussion: Reports: US Officials Say Flynn Did Talk Russia Sanctions Before Inauguration

1 Like

But in a Thursday interview, a spokesman for the national security adviser told the newspaper that Flynn “indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn’t be certain that the topic never came up.”

Sounds like a guy who expects to be discussing the matter under oath at some point in the near future.

On the White House application for employment, would seem that an affirmative answer to the question “Do You Agree With the Sentiment ‘U.S. Constitution, Rule of Law, and Ethics Be Damned!!’” is a requirement for further consideration.

That river in Egypt also runs through the Trump administration.

Can’t wait until they’re all under oath trying to cut deals to save their denial asses.

Sounds more like a traitor to me, that sold his country for peanuts. Although he did not consider the US under Obama to be HIS country.

But yes this is the guy we definitely should should be handing classified information to.

Glad to see that TPM finally got around to saying something about the most significant story out there right now.

I posted this link earlier but I’ll re-post it. It focuses on the even bigger story hidden in the WaPo account, which is that there were contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russians after all. https://t.co/RjqVKF5jaD

Also here is something by David Corn of MJ, who has long been a voice in the wilderness on this issue. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/02/flynn-trump-washington-post-russia

HOW THE HELL DID THE FSB AND GRU GET AN AMERICAN GENERAL TO TURN?

If past history is any indication, they did it the way they’ve always done it—by capitalizing on either greed or private illicit sex activity. Once the Russkies have either, then blackmail keeps it ongoing.

At the minimum, Flynn should be put on trial for treason. Once he talks, roll up the other traitors, up to and including Trump himself. Literally every military and national security secret we have is at risk.

Of course Flynn is lying to us. That’s what Trumpists do. But, and I’m goin out on a limb here, a stout one, though, I believe; these people also lie profusely to one another. If my speculation is correct, this is what will bring them all down.

They have been in office for 3 weeks. I doubt we have any secrets left. Flynn is obviously a traitor of the first rank. So are half a dozen others in the Trump inner circle.

Where’s the money? That’s when this really goes big. As bad as talk about sanctions and election hacking may be, this gets real when some journalist follows the money trail and sees $$$ changing hands between the FSB and trump officials / trump family members / trump businesses.

Nearing the point where Flynn is more trouble than he’s worth for Orange Hitler.

Paul Manafort may soon get a playmate in the shadows.

Amen to that. The network channels seem to be tripping over themselves to ignore this story, too…which is in keeping with their pretending the whole Russia-Trump connection thing has vanished.

Its mind boggling to me, because I have very little doubt that more and more is going to break loose on that front…it will be the anchor that brings down his administration.

And I agree fully. The mention of contacts between Flynn and Russia BEFORE the election is like a huge red neon sign saying…“STORY HERE!!”, yet they dance around it.

The Logan Act violation is a non-starter quite honestly. We’ve never prosecuted anyone for violating it before, and we aren’t going to start with a foreign policy adviser/Natl Security Adviser to a new administration. If they wanted to go after someone, go after his son for having similar meetings in Paris with the Russians to discuss how to solve the Syrian crisis.

No, the story is the repeated contacts from numerous people in the Trump campaign and orbit with Russians throughout the campaign. And its going to keep unraveling. Flynn is just the biggest and most visible thread being tugged right now.
