Easily refuted by a non-Villager...ICYMI Read my column on the gross campaign to portray Mike Flynn as a traitor before he has been charged w/ a crime https://t.co/rWdlHfS6Eo— Eli Lake (@EliLake) May 27, 2017
He took $$$ from a foreign power while advising a pres campaign, lied about it, then altered US policy to benefit that power when in office. https://t.co/Y0890aAT9D— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) May 27, 2017
ABC...Let's be clear: If an aide to Obama 2008 had been lobbying for a foreign power while sittting in on classified briefings, as Flynn did...— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) May 27, 2017
Not ABC...We've had backchannel communications btwn Russians and a presidential relative before. In fact, quite successfully: the Dobrynin/RFK channel— Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) May 27, 2017
Furthermore, JFK was already president; RFK had government experience; the backchannel served nuclear disarmament efforts. To build trust, both sides had agreed to speak away from the interference of hawks in their respective countries. Now being used to justify secret self-dealing expected from Kushner-TrumpCo.Dobrynin was the Soviet ambassador. RFK met with him. The equiv here would be meeting with Kislyak, not sneaking over to use his radio room. https://t.co/CeP83Nnqzs— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) May 27, 2017
Washington Post...The important difference I think we need to hang onto is that this appears to be an attempt to evade detection/intercept by US intelligence.— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) May 27, 2017
Simple reporting? It advances a concocted story line, when in fact—McMaster said "I would not be concerned" if admin staffer had backchannel comms with Russia. Says it allows "discreet" communications.— Philip Rucker (@PhilipRucker) May 27, 2017
"backchannel communications" has never, ever meant using Russian communications equipment to avoid FBI detection, as Kushner requested https://t.co/OCSqyvB7Uy— Anne Applebaum (@anneapplebaum) May 27, 2017
McMaster now putting the reputation of a lifetime on the line for a spoiled brat son-in-law who is in way over his head. Why? https://t.co/4hxbGmVbZo— Elliott Lusztig (@ezlusztig) May 27, 2017
