The general public should not be aware of a transcript of the (taped) conversation between Flynn and the ambassador. The quick series of events are:
1.) Flynn denies speaking about sanctions with the ambassador.
2.) The transcript of the conversation is released (to someone in the media first) to prove that Flynn DID have discussions about sanctions (although it probably was a vague reference and not a violation of the law, as supported by White House counsel.)
3.) The leaker got what they wanted. This sh*t bag needs to be exposed and prosecuted.
Dosent matter what Flynn did or did not do - He lost DJT’s trust by omitting details to Pense and making Pense a fool. But inadvertently MF dug his own hole which the media pounced on to further discredit DJT, etc. And yes the leaker should be persecuted, opps, prosecuted, as should the whole crew involved in this destructive episode. Don’t need to expose them, as long as they spend a while in an unhappy place or, say, air dropped into the ocean. The community from which they come will know what happened and scale back or stop entirely perhaps ‘retire’.
