What is most scandalous and damning in these transcripts is what Flynn did not say.

At no point does Flynn castigate Kislyak for Russia’s intervention in the 2016 election. He does not confront the Russian ambassador for Putin’s covert operation to subvert American democracy.
Tit for tat dude. Obama tried interfering in the Ukraine and Russian general elections. Hell, that dude meddled everywhere. In just his last year alone he meddled in the Israeli election, the Canadian federal election of 2015 and the Brexit referendum. But when it comes to the Russian and Ukraine elections, you'd have to be some special kind of stupid to believe for one minute that Putin wouldn't retaliate in kind.



As for Flynn, what I find surprising isn't what Flynn didn't say, but what Mueller did. Mueller was essentially willing to give more benefit of the doubt to the Russians that were involved than to his own president. He didn't want to "speculate" about their guilt, while he speculated like a motherf*cker about Trump's presumed guilt. ON LIVE TV!!

BHO also tried to rig the Israeli vote to defeat Netenyahu.

The US has meddled in elections for decades, shocking revelation....oh dear I had not idea....:roll:

Doesn’t dismiss what Russians did and are doing.

Benefit of the doubt? You crack me up.

Why did Trump say he fired Comey in a television interview? Mueller would still be retired had it not been for his big stupid mouth. Same goes for the Ukraine phone call.

Tit for tat dude.
I usually find buying her a few drinks works better.

I suppose that's true. If you regard covert efforts as "in kind" to clear and public statements of preference and recommendations.

Flynn has said he does not remember talking in late 2016 with the Russian ambassador about sanctions. But the transcripts showed that the sanctions were the central discussion point between the men.
Flynn had admitted to lying to the F.B.I. about talking to Mr. Kislyak about Russia’s vote on an impending United Nations resolution to condemn Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
Mr. Kislyak promised to “postpone the vote and to allow for consultations,” according to the transcript. Mr. Flynn responded: “OK. That’s good.”
The documents also revealed highly sensitive F.B.I. abilities, showing that the bureau was able to monitor the phone line of the Russian Embassy in Washington even before a call from Mr. Kislyak connected with Mr. Flynn’s voice mail.
In other words, the F.B.I. wiretap was able pick up what Russians officials were saying to each other — in this case, discussion of a hacking operation — when they apparently were unaware that the open phone line was already transmitting their voices.
Which just highlights how Trump has continually lied about this case. It wasn’t any American citizen that was being tapped—it was the Russians.

FBI's top lawyer, Dana Boente, ousted amid Fox News criticism for role in Flynn investigation

After a 38-year career with the Justice Department, the FBI's top lawyer Dana Boente was asked to resign on Friday. Two sources familiar with the decision to dismiss Boente said it came from high levels of the Justice Department rather than directly from FBI Director Christopher Wray.
His departure comes on the heels of recent criticism by Fox News for his role in the investigation of former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
A spokesman for the FBI confirmed to NBC News that Boente did in fact resign on Friday.
Fox News has recently criticized Boente's role in the investigation of Flynn, whose criminal charge for lying to the FBI was recently dropped by the Justice Department based in part on the argument that his lies were not material to an underlying investigation.

Boente also said in a recently leaked memo that material put into the public record about Flynn was not exculpatory for the former national security advisor. The memo undermines the Justice Department's latest position that material about Flynn was mishandled by prosecutors......More

This is a NBC piece so you know there is more deflection than need be
