Yeah, because a National Security Adviser is never supposed to talk to any foreign leaders, especially if they're Russian.

Um, this would have been during the campaign, simpleton.

Uh, no it wasn't dickless. From your own ABC news post:

Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI about the nature of his conversations with then-Russian ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition. Those conversations led Russian officials to temper their response to increased U.S. sanctions, according to the charging documents.

In fact, the "sanctions" against the Russians referenced above were announced by the Obama administration at the end of December 2016. If you consult the calendar, you might notice that December 2016 was the month following the November 2016 election.

You apparently can't read, or fail to understand, what you post as support for your own comments. Yet you refer to folks who do understand as "simpletons" and "idiots." Maybe you should start your self-education by looking up the word "irony".

Actually, dickhead, I quoted what ABC originally reported. They corrected it later. My reading comprehension is far above yours, as your Dear Leader says, "believe me!"

That's what you get, memberless, for investing yourself in the media feeding frenzy and dubious reporting that surrounds this whole affair. You'd be far better off to wait - before rushing to judgment - and wait until the facts come out. What Brian Ross and company did yesterday was nothing new at all. In fact, yesterday's embarrassing escapade - and your willingness to swallow it whole - is emblematic of this entire "Russian collusion" non-story.

Just got him suspended for four weeks, after ABC retracted and corrected the story. This is how real news works, quite the opposite of Breitbart, which just makes stuff up. Integrity, as opposed to your Dear Leader's 5 lies/day. Imagine if Limbaugh, where you seem to get your talking points, had integrity. He'd lose his entire idiot audience, and you'd have no one to do your thinking for you, Dittohead.

And is isn't yet clear that what he said was untrue, just premature. It's pretty clear, however, that nearly everyone in Trump's inner circle had plenty of contact with Russians. It ain't much of a leap to think that Trump knew about it, considering his love affair with Putin and all the behind-the-scenes stuff from Junior, Kushner, Page, Manafort, Papadapolous, Stone, etc. and the Russians. Ross will likely be proven correct, he just got out over his skis.

Compare their treatment of Brian Ross to Fox's treatment of Hannity with his constant rumor-mongering about Seth Rich's murder. Flynn and his son's tweets and retweets helped get my local pizza joint shot up by a right-wing crazy. With all the lying in and around Trumpworld, it's hard to discern if anything true is coming out of the White House (or Fox News). Fuck 'em and the horse they rode in on.

He was trying to undermine a foreign policy action against the Russians by President Obama (a Logan Act violation orchestrated by Kushner and later denied by Pence) and then lied to the FBI about it (a felony for which he was charged).

Uh, no. According to the ABC News story - which has ultimately been retracted and corrected following a laughable media feeding frenzy and rush to judgment - Trump directed Flynn to connect with Russian officials - and other national leaders - about dealing with ISIS.

You're citing an incorrect article to refute my true assertion? I suppose that makes sense to you.
