RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN 2016 US ELECTION & SPIN-OFF INVESTIGATIONS

[HairOfTheDog]

Leaked emails show Flynn's right-hand woman, ^ KT McFarland, discussing Obama's Russia sanctions hours after they were announced.

McFarland said that the December 29 declaration was designed to get the incoming president to make rash tweet.

'If there is a tit-for-tat escalation Trump will have difficulty improving relations with Russia, which has just thrown USA election to him,' she wrote.

The White House lawyer dealing with the Russia probe said she was talking about how the election was portrayed by the Dems.

The email was also sent to Flynn, Reince Priebus, Sean Spicer and Steve Bannon; that day Flynn called a Russian ambassador.

The White House said Flynn had a mandate to call ambassador despite the Logan Act, and that Flynn's lies to the FBI were the only illegal act.

McFarland's statement looks incriminating on the surface. I'm betting Mueller and the congressional investigators will want to speak with her soon.

As for Flynn...............the problem for the administration, in my opinion, is the obvious question, "why lie to the FBI if you aren't covering something up?" It's not like Mike Flynn is ignorant when it comes to national security protocols and laws.
