Supposedly Flynn stated that he did not discuss sanctions with the aRussian ambassador but the recording revealed that he did. But its the same thing really. Why would he lie about that?
Maybe because he was called while on vacation? Maybe he was having drinks? Maybe he didnt recall the details of the conversation?
I see those kinds of interviews as a gotcha kind of thing Flynn Probably hadnt given that phone call much thought in the time interval That had passed, and the interviewers likely had a transcript and knew exactly what they wanted to do.
