So, you’re Anti-Flynn and you defend Hunter Biden and dismiss his behavior?

The NYTs is Toilet Paper.

General Flynn did not discuss sanctions.

He discussed the persona non grata ejections, and apparently did not recall discussing it, and said in good faith he didn't remember discussing it as outlined in this declassified FBI 302 Form.

Here are the transcripts below:
Flynn-Kislyak Transcripts-Part 1


Flynn-Kislyak Transcripts-Part 2

The word "sanctions" appears once in all the transcripts, and this is the context in which it appeared:

KISLYAK: "We agree. One of the problems among the measures that have been announced today is that now FSB and GRU are sanctions are sanctioned and I ask myself uh; does it mean that the United States isn't willing to work on terrorist threats?"

He is clearly talking in terms of the FSB and GRU personnel who have been sanctioned (translated as "punished" in the sense of being expelled due to Executive Order 13694 which are not sanctions) and if you examine Executive Order 13694 issued by Obama on 12/28/2016 you won't find the word "sanctions" appearing even once.

Not once. The word "sanctions" and the context of the word "sanctions" is clearly punishment based and focused on the ejection of the Russian GRU and FSB personnel.

The Countering Russian Hostilities Act of 2017 introduced in Congress on 1/11/2017 was weeks after the Flynn-Kislyak calls in late December 2016. You can see the full text here if you wish: Text of the Countering Russian Hostilities Act of 2017

The bottom line is Flynn did not discuss sanctions, he discussed persona non grata ejections, and he didn't even recall doing so, saying he didn't remember even when prompted by Strzok and Pietka.
