Intelligence Official: Transcripts Of Flynn's Calls Don't Show Criminal Wrongdoing
NPR ^ | 2/15/17 | Camila Domonoske

Posted on 02/15/2017 4:04:12 PM PST by blueyon

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.

Toss the NPR person in jail until they disclose the source.

Audit the NPR person until their copier falls apart.

Station a black sedan in front of the NPR staffer’s residence to remind them them of their civic duty.

Obama appointee Ben Rhodes, spokesman for the Irandeal is the guy who is working the Flynn and NSA leak network.

Rodes deserves to be shot for treason. He disagrees with Flynn’s hard stand on Iran, and the possible repeal of the Iran deal, which Iran has repeatedly broken.So Rhodes and his intel moles laid the bricks to Flynn.

Now its Rohode’s turn. I expect he will end up floating in the Potomac.

If you’ll remember what was going on, Obama had just blamed Russia for Trump’s victory, and kicked Russia’s diplomats out of the country in hopes of provoking a diplomatic crisis that would blow up in Trump’s face.

So of course Flynn talked to them, and told them essentially the same thing Trump was saying in public. Which was, don’t worry about it, we’ll be in the White House in a couple of weeks.

This humiliated Obama, which was a good thing, and they’ve been trying to turn it into an impeachable crime ever since.

I still believe Flynn fell on his sword to protect Pence. Because you can’t have a cover-up when he didn’t do anything wrong in the first place. It makes no sense to assume he lied when there was nothing to lie about. He was Trump’s national security advisor, that’s why he was on the phone with the Russians in the first place. Obviously with Trump’s knowledge and at Trump’s direction. Obviously the purpose of the call was to blunt the damage of Obama’s sanctions. For Pence to imagine the call was about anything else was silly... of course Pence would know that’s what the call is about, on the day Obama kicks out Russia’s embassy staff.

I believe Flynn took the hit for Pence. Its the only thing that makes sense to me.

President Trump should make Flynn a “czar” , the way Barry did to get around confirmation, then task him to deal with the Iran problem.

Flynn took the hit for Trump, and for Trump alone.

I would like to know why Pence’s nose was so out of joint about this.

This situation called for a united front, not a hissy fit.

Something in Pence’s reaction has my radar lit up.

I have been wrestling with this too, but I don’t understand your explanation. How did he protect Pence?

Earlier I decided to work off some rage at ‘IC’ by watching the blastiest, goriest spy film I could find and I’m still soliciting recommendations :)
