I heard this subject discussed on BBC Radio this afternoon, between a Washington Examiner reporter and some other intelligence reporter.
The Intel reporter said the WaPo had actually reported early on more accurately about this Kelly/Russia phone call, saying that the Russian ambassador had inquired of Kelly about the Obama sanctions against Russia, and that Kelly informed the vice president Pence of the inquiry. He told Pence that his reply was the would discuss the sanctions after the inauguration. So those are probably the facts as they are, I and represent rather a “yes and no” version of what actually happened.
“Yes”, they discussed the sanctions.
But, “No”, they did not discuss the sanctions. Get it?
The Intel reporter suggested Andrea Mitchell and her sources make a mistake in reading the conversation one way or the other, until there is a transcript of the conversation.

...and this is the truth of the whole situation...
Flynn is a master at such things...as is Trump.
That makes more sense than most explanations I’ve read.
I’m not convinced as some are that the president is playing the media in the cases of the leaks. Not just these - but the ones we’ve seen almost daily since the inauguration. They are calculated to inflict damage.
I don’t know just what, but there’s some out of the ordinary things that seem to be going on just beneath the surface in Washington. I don’t mean what we can all see, but something else. I can’t put my finger on it and haven’t drawn any conclusions about it.
