remember the next day Putin responded by not kicking out Russkie diplomats, followed by Trump kissing Putin's ass for not doing the same to American diplomats.

It was all supposed to be on the sly but American intelligence saw the treason and reported it to media, as they should have.

At the Press Conf, tRUMP said he was fine with Flynn talking to Russia before the inauguration. I think he said Flynn was talking to a lot of countries, and that's ok. But, we're not saying that it was wrong to talk to Russia before the inauguration to wish them Merry Christmas greetings, etc. What we're saying is that it's wrong to talk to Russia, before the inauguration, about lifting sanctions!!! That's the part that's wrong!! I wish someone in the press had pointed that out!
