The only relevant part of the article is this:
According to a senior U.S. government official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials as well as other measures in retaliation for the hacking.
This is the entirety of the info on the Flynn leak in the WP article. Nothing else is written. It seems the reporter got the info from a "senior administration official" who hit the system, verified the date and volume of Flynn calls (and nothing else) to the Russian.
Question: The Washington Post aiding, abetting and concealing a felony? They know exactly who the criminal is. How TF do they get away with that?

Hacking? Where’s their proof of that?
Looks like Samantha is going to the big house. Question is should she do 10 years or 5 if she squeels?
Its espionage and treason, you get executed for that.
I know treason when I see it and this is treason.
But the precise wording for treason in the Constitution is tricky. It would be hard to get anyone for treason based on that. Sigh.
While there are officially three branches of government, the mainstream media is the unofficial 'sacred' branch of government.
'Thou must never questions the validity of the mainstream media'.
Questioning the media now amounts to blasphemy and doubters are denounced, ridiculed, and shunned.
Why?
There was no proof of hacking (that I’ve seen). My guess is that the expulsion of Russian diplomats was done to leave a mess that would force the incoming administration to make phone calls to deal with it.
Sedition, then?
Certainly seems easier. I want people to hang, but I fear I will be quite disappointed.
The expulsion and sanctions were needed to prop up the fiction that Trump and the Russians stole the election and Shrillary "The Wicked Witch of Chappaqua" is the legitimate POTUS.
And Joe Biden the same day.
Biden is finally getting dumped on and he’s not handling it well. This is what Trump gets every day!
They crowned themselves such on August 9, 1974.
They ARE the court arbiters of who should be in charge.
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
just think...the election was well and truly over. Trump had won. Obama was nobody. here’s your cast of RINOs:
30 Dec: Guardian: Obama expels 35 Russian diplomats in retaliation for US election hacking
Trump wants to ‘move on’ but says he will meet intelligence officials
by Lauren Gambino and Sabrina Siddiqui in Washington and Shaun Walker in Moscow
The Obama administration on Thursday announced its retaliation for Russian efforts to interfere with the US presidential election, ordering sweeping new sanctions that included the expulsion of 35 Russians.
US intelligence services believe Russia ordered cyber-attacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Hillary Clinton’s campaign and other political organizations, in an attempt to influence the election in favor of the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
In a statement issued two weeks after the president said he would respond to cyber-attacks by Moscow “at a time and place of our choosing”, Obama said Americans should “be alarmed by Russia’s actions” and pledged further action.
“I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners,” Obama said in the statement, released while he was vacationing with his family in Hawaii...
Obama added that more actions would be taken, “some of which will not be publicized”...
“There has to be a cost and a consequence for what Russia has done,” a senior administration official said. “It is in a extraordinary step for them to interfere in the democratic process here in the United States of America. There needs to be a price for that.”...
“While today’s action by the administration is overdue,” House speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement, “it is an appropriate way to end eight years of failed policy with Russia. And it serves as a prime example of this administration’s ineffective foreign policy that has left America weaker in the eyes of the world.”
Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, two of Russia’s fiercest critics, echoed Ryan but also called for tough Congressional sanctions.
“Ultimately, [the sanctions] are a small price for Russia to pay for its brazen attack on American democracy,” the two men said in a joint statement. “We intend to lead the effort in the new Congress to impose stronger sanctions on Russia.”...
