Former national security advisor Michael Flynn spoke with a "senior official" in President’s Trump's transition team at the Mar-a-Lago resort to discuss what he should communicate to the Russian ambassador in a highly-scrutinized series of phone calls in December of 2016, according to federal prosecutors.
Flynn and the senior officials discussed both the recently implemented U.S. sanctions on Russia, as well as the fact that they did not want Russia to escalate friction between the two nations, lawyers on special counsel Robert Mueller's team told a federal judge Friday.
After the discussion, Flynn telephoned the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. Afterwards, he called the senior transition official and reported the sanctions discussion, prosecutors said.
Kislyak later followed up with Flynn and affirmed that Russia would moderate its response to the sanctions, put in place by then-President Obama. Flynn communicated that exchange to other transition officials, prosecutors said.
Flynn on Friday pleaded guilty to one count of providing false statements to federal investigators, thereby admitting to the charges made by Mueller's prosecutors.
According to court documents filed by Mueller, Flynn lied when he told investigators that he did not ask Kislyak to "refrain from escalating the situation" in response to sanctions that Obama had levied on the Russian Federation.
Flynn also lied, the counsel said, when Flynn said he did not ask the ambassador to either delay or defeat a related U.N. Security Council vote. Prosecutors told Judge Rudolph Contreras that Flynn was told by the senior member of Trump transition team to reach out to other countries to influence the U.N. vote, in an effort to delay or defeat the resolution.

Yet, Hillary and her ilk are still walking free.
They should have arrested her on inauguration day.
LoL stupid and hysteria nonsense from morons in the media.
So Flynn called many nations in the course of his duties as the NSA during the presidential transition. Like in so what as in Mueller has got nothing.
Did you know did you know... Obama “violated” the 220 year old Logan Act. He got on a jet and directly went to see governmental leaders in the Middle East before his transition and before the presidential election visiting in July of 2008.
Flynn copt to this small potato as he’s got a ever increasing legal bills into the millions. Flynn doesn’t know of any wrong doings about Trump since there is not any.
AFTER the election is the point.
I’m probably being ignorant here - but really not following the concern here. Once someone reaches title of President-Elect, wouldn’t we want them starting relationships / talking to other Nations sooner rather than later?
That's guaranteed to get Flynn thrown in the end thrown in jail for much longer, and Mueller disbarred and likely jail time to boot.
as well as the fact that they did not want Russia to escalate friction between the two nations . . .
And the harm in this is . . . . ?
Anyone?
On Varney this am, Napolitano said this could be a Logan Act violation because we "know" the Russians hacked the DNC. Is that guy ever right about anything?
“Transition team”, as in AFTER Trump was elected????? And he wouldn’t be expected to reach out to world leaders to begin a dialog prior to taking office as every other President has done?
Don't buy it, it's BS folks...
Don't buy it, it's BS folks...
“Trump has waited far too long to neutralize Mueller. “
Isn’t it strange that Sessions remains recused on this ‘russian collusion’ hoax? A non-existent crime that somehow needed a special counsel? Almost like he wants Mueller to continue to embroil the Trump admin with indictments and scandals.../rolleyes.
Did I mention I hate that beady-eyed rat bastard?
I think you’re right. Hell, it’s always been a practice.
I want to know when these usurping globalist seditionists are charged and put in prison?
You're not. It's media hyperventilating pretending they have Trump on something. They lie to themselves and everyone else.
“Napolitano said...Is that guy ever right about anything?”
No. The nappy headed judge lies for the deep-state. He’s a POS.
Agree 100% Mueller has nothing on Trump he’s spooking to get lies on paper any sham will do for him he should and maybe do cell time for his actions of the past he has a lot of dirt to hide along with his lawyer pals.
lol...breathless headlines for an absolute normal occurrence with no criminality.
It is beyond that. Mueller is simply a pathetic punk.
I don't recall anyone claiming that was illegal.
That’s guaranteed to get Flynn thrown in the end thrown in jail for much longer, and Mueller disbarred and likely jail time to boot.
Mueller will give Flakey Flynn blanket immunity and nobody is going to touch Mueller now. Check mate.
“It’s media hyperventilating pretending they have Trump on something. “
That’s the point of the special counsel. If they can’t find something to topple Trump(impeachment evidence), they will embroil him in scandal and indictment. Effectively hobbling his admin.
Let’s all thank that lowlife piece of living sh!t, Jeff Sessions, for enabling this soviet-style special counsel coup.
