“I talked to General Flynn about that conversation and actually was initiated on Christmas Day he had sent a text to the Russian ambassador to express not only Christmas wishes but sympathy for the loss of life in the airplane crash that took place. It was strictly coincidental that they had a conversation. They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States’ decision to expel diplomats or impose censure against Russia,” Pence told host John Dickerson.
Flynn spoke to the ambassador the very day Obama imposed sanctions. This happened toward the end of Dec. The newly imposed sanctions were discussed. The interview with Pence wasn’t that long afterward. Flynn gave him to understand that the timing was purely coincidental, and related what had actually been discussed.
Do you honestly believe that in such a short period of time Flynn ‘just forgot,’ something as important as Obama’s newly imposed sanctions? How is that remotely plausible?

Yes. Because Flynn blew him off when he tried to bring them it up according to the FBI. Do you remember every time you change the subject from something you don’t want to talk about? I sure don’t.
