So let me get this right, at the same time Trump was publicly calling for Russia to hack Hillary Clinton and Wikileaks was posting documents stolen by Russian intelligence, while the American intelligence agencies were publicly reporting all of this in not one but two statements, and Congress was calling for investigations of the Russian interference in an American election, Flynn was in constant contact with the Russian ambassador to the United States who serves as a direct link to Russian intelligence?
According to the Washington Post:
Two officials said a main topic of the relevant call was the sanctions. Officials also said there was no evidence that Russia had attempted to exploit the discrepancy between public statements by Trump officials and what Flynn had discussed.
Flynn told The Post earlier this month that he first met Kislyak in 2013, when Flynn was director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and made a trip to Moscow.
U.S. intelligence reports during the 2016 presidential campaign showed that Kislyak was in touch with Flynn, officials said. Communications between the two continued after Trump’s victory on Nov. 8, according to officials with access to intelligence reports on the matter.
Kislyak, in a brief interview with The Post, confirmed having contacts with Flynn before and after the election, but he declined to say what was discussed.
The only reason this is not the headline is that Flynn resigned.
