“They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States’ decision to expel diplomats or impose censure against Russia,” Pence said during a Jan. 15 appearance on CBS “Face the Nation.
The denials set off alarm bells at the Justice Department.
Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, an Obama holdover, and other senior officials knew the comments weren’t true. U.S. intelligence agencies, which routinely monitor the communications of foreign diplomats, had learned of Flynn’s discussions with Kislyak when analyzing the Kremlin’s response to the sanctions. The FBI had also opened an investigation into Flynn’s relationship with Russia.
------------------
Flynn pleds guilty to lying about having no contact with Russian officials pre-inauguration and lying that they did not talk about sanctions.
-----------------------
GOP/WH, through the DNI, wont release the transcript(s) of the phone calls Flynn made prior to inauguration. Only leaking masking requests. As if making unmasking request is some kind of crime.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence reported that in 2019, the Trump administration had 10,012 unmasking requests fulfilled; 16,721 requests fulfilled in 2018, and 9,529 requests fulfilled in 2017.
During 2016, the last year of the Obama administration, there were 9,217 unmasking requests fulfilled.
--------------------------
Obamagate - honestly, what the fuck is Trump trying to claim here? that his campaign was being secretly spied on by Obama?
In reality, your chosen National Security Adviser Flynn was talking with russian officials .. pre-inauguration. Then lied to Trump, Pence and everybody that you never talked with Russians and you didnt talk sanctions.
Trump fired Flynn for lying.
---------------
What am I missing? How is this the biggest political crime of our country's history? They werent wire tapping Flynn, they were wire tapping the russians Flynn was talking to when he shouldnt have.
trump, the dude lied, you fired him. why now try and twist facts to make it seem like some huge conspiracy. mind blowing some people are buying into this. It doesnt even make sense. There are clearly no logical linked connections.
release Flynn's phone call transcripts ... let the public decide what to think of Flynn.
-------------------------
