When I see a story like this in the Washington Post, I wonder if Jeff Bezos is making a fortune selling stocks short and/or buying them at huge discounts when the stock market rebounds after it turns out the "bombshell" story they peddled a couple of hours earlier is really nothing of any consequence.
Welcome to Leftist King, home of the Nothing Burger.

The calls were picked up as part of routine electronic surveillance of Russian officials and agents in the United States...

We’ve found the criminals and the criminals are the FBI.

Nada Burga!
Yep. But that wont stop the MSM from speculating that Trump is one step away from going to jail now.
And how was Flynn unmasked?
FBI was spying on the Trump campaign since before the convention. Brennan, Comey, and Clapper. The modern American traitors.
Hmmm.
I wonder who the big winner is in the market this afternoon. The news knocked the stuffing out of the indices, just long enough for some happy camper to swoop in and buy. It is only down 107 right now.
Nothing ever happens in a vacuum.
Oh no, this will be a real downer for all the libs to believe the WAPO is their bible.
And how was Flynn unmasked?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
that is the question
It would be wonderful to learn that Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are laughing all the way to the bank on this. LOL.
So to get the testimony of a serial lair with a bad memory the FBI and Mueller reveal to the Russians that the Russians need to take better security precautions.
Where’s the beef?!
