I have not really dug into this story but my brief investigation leads me to believe that Flynn has a conservation about improving relations with the Russia ambassador. Sanctions came up in the conversation along with a lot of other stuff. Sanctions were not discussed in detail, the ambassador just said they were an obstacle to improving relations.

Next the Washington Post (I will never buy from Amazon again) runs a fake news story that Flynn violated a 1799 law that prohibits a private individual from conducting foreign policy. Totally fabricated story. No one has ever been prosecuted for this and Flynn was a high ranking member of the transition team hardly a private citizen. VP Pence asked Flynn about the bogus story and Flynn rightly answered no I did not discuss sanctions. Why did the VP stick his nose into this in this fake news story first place? Stupid move by the VP. This administration better wise up, the entire media, the entire establishment along with all the NeverTrumpers are out to damage this admin at every and any turn.

So it turns out that sanctions did come up, but were not really discussed. One could say Flynn lied (he really didn’t) so Flynn gets nailed for lying about a fake news story that the VP had no business sticking his nose into and gets the boot.

If my interpretation is correct. Then we can expect many more fake news stories and the admin better learn not to take the bait. And the VP needs to learn mind his own business. I blame Pence for this mess.
