“The End of Michael Flynn” – 1791L
This is the diplomatic crisis that Mike Flynn de-escalated with his phone call to the Russian ambassador and lost his job over .. Of course that’s a problem if you prefer another cold war and arms race ..

““We will not create problems for American diplomats, we will not expel anyone,” he continued in a statement, adding that Russia “reserves the right to retaliate”.”
“Attempting to seize the moral high ground, he extended a public invite for the children of American diplomats to a New Year’s and Christmas party at the Kremlin.”
““It is a pity that President Barack Obama’s administration ends its work in this way but nevertheless, I wish him and his family a Happy New Year,” Mr Putin said.”
Vladimir Putin says he will not expel US diplomats from Russia
Vladimir Putin has said he will not expel any American diplomats in retaliation to new US sanctions against Russia over its alleged interference in the presidential election. Calling the moves a “provocation”, the Russian president said he would not “stoop to the level of irresponsible diplomacy”.
The “He’s secretly working for the Russians” story is, once again, nonsense, peddled by anonymous intelligence officials attempting to undermine Trump and subsequently corrected by the intelligence community to save face .. Just like when the director of national intelligence publicly debunked the “golden showers” story .. There is no *substantiated* and *evidenced* Russia connection ..
Allegations and conjecture, without any evidence, are NOT leaks ..
The only evidence leaked here is that Flynn “may have” violated the Logan Act .. Whoopdeedoo .. Both Obama and Hillary spoke with the Russians in 2008 after Russia “invaded” South Ossetia (the famous reset) .. And again in 2012 caught on video ..

“A current U.S. intelligence official tells NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly that there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the transcripts of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, although the official noted that doesn’t rule out the possibility of illegal actions.”
“The official also says that there are recordings as well as transcripts of the calls, and that the transcripts don’t suggest Flynn was acting under orders in his conversations.”
“Depending on the content of the conversations, Flynn could have violated a law called the Logan Act, which bars a private individual from conducting foreign policy without the permission of the U.S. government.”
“The intelligence official who has personally seen the transcripts told Mary Louise they contained “no evidence” of criminal wrongdoing, although the official said it can’t be definitively ruled out.”
“The official also said there was “absolutely nothing” in the transcripts that suggests Flynn was acting under instructions “or that the trail leads higher.””
“”I don’t think [Flynn] knew he was doing anything wrong,” the official said. “Flynn talked about sanctions, but no specific promises were made. Flynn was speaking more in general ‘maybe we’ll take a look at this going forward’ terms.””
Intelligence Official: Transcripts Of Flynn’s Calls Don’t Show Criminal Wrongdoing
A U.S. intelligence official tells NPR there are both transcripts and recordings of Michael Flynn’s calls with the Russian ambassador and that they don’t suggest he was acting under instructions.
Democrats complain about Hitler. Now support Stasi overthrowing elected leader.
Netanyahu is either a misunderstood hero or quite delusional .. Not sure which ..
You should support the one state solution .. Demographics takes care of the rest ..
To think that democrats used to be against the security state .. You all have strayed a long way away from the days of Dennis Kucinich .. Quite frankly, it’s embarrassing ..
