Flynn allowed himself to be boxed in by the MSM narrative that if he talked to the Russians before the inauguration, that it meant the Russians were interfering in the election or something.
He needs to be more Trumpian.
Be in your face - say “Hell yes I talked with the Russian ambassador, as a professional in US national security I am constantly talking to and monitoring the attitudes of representatives of our allies, opponents and enemies around the world whenever I have the opportunity. Screw you, MSM.”
He and Trump are in control of this narrative...not the media.
Remember, this is Friday night. File dump night...media dump night.
This story knocks everything else off the screen...and it will go nowhere.
Trump is a prankster...and now his pranks serve our national interest in "flooding the zone" of the opposition media. The media dogs will chase their tails until they get tired of the story.
And the story then goes away, just added to the fizzled and dead story heap.
And once again, Trump shows the media who the boss is.
