I'll start with what Sean Spicer, Trump's spokesperson is willing to admit after WaPo broke the story:



— "Christmas Day, Gen. Flynn reached out to the ambassador, sent him a text and it said, 'I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I look forward to touching base with you and working with you, and I wish you all the best.' The ambassador texted him back wishing him a Merry Christmas as well," Spicer said.

— "And then subsequently on the 28th of December [the ambassador] texted [Flynn] and said, 'I'd like to give you a call, may I?' "

— "[Flynn] then took that call on the 28th and the call centered around the logistics of setting up a call with the president of Russia and the president-elect after he was sworn in. And they exchanged logistical information on how to initiate and schedule that call. That was it, plain and simple."

President Obama ordered two Russian diplomatic compounds closed and 35 Russian diplomats expelled from the United States the next day, Dec. 29.

www.npr.org...

MIND YOU...Flynn is Trump's man in the room during top secret intelligence briefings...

What they discussed in the call is not known beyond Spicer's BS...which was only offered after it was exposed Flynn and the Russian Ambassador are somehow texting buddies.

This is getting ridiculous..

He tipped off Russian diplomats/spies that their compounds were going to be raided and diplomats/spies ejected the day before it happened..

This is Flynn last year having dinner with Putin..



For those not already aware...Michael Flynn, Trumps lead national Security Advisor has been paid by Russia's State Sponsored media to badmouth the US intelligence community.

He is a discontent after being forced to resign for being...well ..a wacko and making stuff up.



They also both exhibit a loose relationship with facts: General Flynn, for instance, has said that Shariah, or Islamic law, is spreading in the United States (it is not). His dubious assertions are so common that when he ran the Defense Intelligence Agency, subordinates came up with a name for the phenomenon: They called them “Flynn facts.”

His son infamously pushed Pizzagate on twitter..

I fail to see how communications of this nature between an incoming administration and Russian leadership to establish a diplomatic dialogue after the inauguration is in any way a bad thing.

I know liberals desperately want to believe there is something more sinister going on here, so I'm sure they will dive in soon with all kinds of allegations.

Should be entertaining.

Who cares? You had better get yourself in an alliance with Russia because China is not happy with you.

What''s more sinister is a certain group of political zealots willing to disrupt our peaceful transition of government because they didn't win nor get a trophy!

BTW...While Spicer...having been confronted with evidence...Portrayed an instance where it seemed a casual diplomatic exchange...the day before several dozen Russian Diplomat/spies were ejected from their compounds...

THIS is what the intelligence community leaked to WAPA that provoked the unusual disclosure from Turmps people..



According to a senior U.S. government official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials as well as other measures in retaliation for the hacking.

They say a week is a long time in politics , who knows where this and stories to come will take us in the week to come.
Could Trump become the first President Elect not to become President , it'll be an interesting to see what other skeletons emerge from Trumps cupboard.

And the Trump-at-any-cost people still apologize or worse for the traitor.

For what - cause they think he can make them some money.

They should talk to some people from the Taj - see just how it worked out for them.

There is no threat of WW3...That is a myth Russia has sold the right wing inflating their power...

They can reboot the Soviet Union and take back former republics...If only NATO was weaker and not a nuisance...

We may have a Logan Act violation here with Flynn.

"The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799 ) is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments having a dispute with the U.S. It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position."

Why shouldn't the government be held to the same standards?

IRAN for instance?

I see Jill Stein at the table with Putin too.

Is she a Russian plant? Was her attempting to get recounts in multiple states after the election done on behalf of Russia? Is she a Russian shill simply for being guilty by association, for having dialogue with them?

Am I a Russian shill because I just texted by Russian buddy who used to live outside Moscow?

I had some vodka last night. Uh oh, I'm supporting the evil Russian empire. #boycott vodka or you're a pro-Russian, anti-USA traitor.

Meanwhile, the Clintons did backdoor uranium deals with the Russian elite and nary a peep.
