Kislyak “played Flynn like a fiddle…For a former head of an intelligence agency Mr. Flynn showed a stunning lack of counterintelligence savvy or sophistication in dealing with an adversary.” https://t.co/w026S4aA6p

Not a single passage in these transcripts where Flynn says it was wrong for Russia to interfere. Wrong to hack into DNC. Wrong to sow hatred, division on Facebook, etc.

Russia had just attacked the US. Russia was the enemy. And new NSA is fixed on how much we have in common. pic.twitter.com/fSmwFUJk6w

Having now read the transcript & taking it in context of what was happening, it is obvious to me & anyone who has engaged w the Russians that the conversation was NOT in the US interest.
Flynn’s actions were despicable. Under stable why he lied to FBI. https://t.co/fwXBGUd9TA
With all the news about the Flynn transcripts, remember that at this point the only real issue is this: given what the FBI already knew about Russian efforts to help Trump win, did the calls give them any reason to talk to Flynn? The answer was – and is – clearly yes.

The just-released Flynn-Kislyak transcripts show Trump's incoming national sec. adviser speaking repeatedly to the Russian ambassador, buddying up to him, & NOT ONCE saying anything about Putin's attack on the 2016 election. A stunning betrayal of the USA.https://t.co/ArXBuRqGGd

The Flynn transcript shows the incoming Trump administration colluding with Russia against the U.S. government https://t.co/13xIhul7rp

These transcripts CONFIRM pretty much everything Mueller accused Flynn of doing, and they DEBUNK much of what Trump has said about Flynn. The transcripts corroborate Flynn's guilty plea and further prove that he lied to the FBI about his Russian calls. https://t.co/amOEtAPrDR

Here’s what the Flynn transcripts show:

Gen. Flynn secretly discussed the U.S. response to Russia’s brazen election interference, and lied about it to the FBI and Vice President.
No wonder Trump and his allies are trying to re-write history,
Because the facts are so damning. pic.twitter.com/eNZMFlDSSa
And here’s what Flynn said to the FBI. It’s clear beyond any reasonable doubt that he lied, even apart from the fact that he admitted twice in court that he lied. https://t.co/SOJGReP5aR pic.twitter.com/XSuag5x0dQ

Also, the 302 shows the agents gave Flynn multiple opportunities to come clean, asking specific questions like whether he discussed reciprocity with Kislyak. Flynn could have said, oh, wait, now I remember. Flynn was determined to lie, and as you say, the nagging question is—why? https://t.co/LU8gNRF6pt

Sad!
