Maddow blows up administration on Flynn's call to Russia and Drumpf campaign contact with Russia

[ehrnst]

Sums up and lays out the WAPO and NYT pieces with clips of denials.


Transcripts of the call (yes, our government bugs the calls to the residence of Russian officials in the U.S.) from now National Security Advisor Michael Flynn to Russian government show he undermined the U.S. government concerning sanctions for electoral interference. What did the VP know, and when did he know it? He is now saying that he only knew what Flynn told him, when he said that Flynn absolutely did not talk to Russia. Flynn said that sanctions never came up in the call, but now is saying he "doesn't recall if the topic came up." If he can't remember if the sanctions against Russia came up, after being sure they did not, he's not competent, and needs to be fired. The fact that he did bring them up and discussed them is grounds for criminal prosecution.


There is also new evidence that the current POTUS campaign was in frequent contact with Russia during the campaign in which Russia worked to get him elected.

1. This is the smoking gun. Trump's campaign was in contact with the Russians DURING

the election.

Trump was not a witless beneficiary of the Russian hack of the election. He was an active and willing participant.

This makes me want to storm the white house with torches and pitchforks.

HOW DARE THESE PEOPLE DO THIS?????

2. RM did a great job of building the case against the drumpf administration.

The election was STOLEN from HRC and the Dems by Putin, Russia and drumpf.

4. I'm hoping it does Pence in, too

Despite the evidence of transcripts, he lied directly to the media and the people about this.
