You do know that Ted Kennedy conspired with the Soviets in 1984 to oust Ronald Reagan from the White House, right? You didn’t know that? Well, don’t feel so bad. That news has always been given a good leaving alone by the alt-left media now promoting this nonsense about “Russian hacking.”
in 1991 a British reporter going through the just-released Kremlin archives found a 1983 memo from the top guy at the KGB to Yuri Andropov, the dictator of what was then the Soviet Union.

What did Flynn do with Russia? I am only hearing hysterical hormonal hype from the left wing media and therefore discount it.
He lied to Pence is what stands out, he did not betray America. This was no Benghazi.
Pfffft!
THAT’S different ... Democrats only have a problem with Russian influence now that they aren’t Soviet!
Remember: there is nothing left of the old extreme left that is extreme to the left anymore.
