No, he said he didn't want the Trump-Russia relationship to be boxed in by an escalating set of sanctions. Begs the question, what was planned for Trump-Russia? What I do know, Russia wanted the US out of Syria, and that has happened. What did the US get in exchange? Nothing. |
And in the very same sentence, he refers to the expulsions. Not sanctions. |
Ain’t that the truth. I will never understand how these people can be so delusional. |
No, he said that he understood that Russia would have to take an action in response to the expulsions. He then asked for it to only be reciprocal. Nothing to do with the sanctions. |
We’re on the back foot in a million different places. Relationships with allies, destroyed, the Orange Traitor has pulled us out of a dozen treaties, he’s wrecked the country... And these little Johnny Slowpokes on here boo hoo hoo because we can all see what traitors they are. |
Flynn was talkinig about actions taken about cyber. He muddled the sanctions with dismissing Russians out of the country, but he was the one who brought it up, not Kislyak. In the question of, did Flynn bring up expulsions and sanctions? The answer is yes, Flynn brought them up. How could he have forgotten that? He couldn't have. |
He literally used the term "boxed" |
“Flynn has said he does not remember talking...with...Kislyak about sanctions...imposed by the Obama administration as punishment for Russia’s election meddling. But the transcripts showed that the sanctions were the central discussion point.”

The central discussion point was Middle East policy. |
It's all connected. |

“This is a pardon disguised as a technical legal matter.” There is nothing in the released documents that support Flynn or the DOJ. It is pretty plain and straightfoward. |
And, pray tell, what did Obama do to help the Syrian people? |
Barr is trying to force Dana Boente out of the FBI
"Boente also said in a recently leaked memo that material put into the public record about Flynn was not exculpatory for the former national security advisor." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/fbi-s-top-lawyer-dana-boente-ousted-amid-fox-news-n1219721 |
He also signed off on one of the Carter Page FISA warrants. |
Well, this is reason enough.... "Boente signed one of the warrants renewing the FBI's authority to surveil Flynn. The warrants, known as FISA warrants, were renewed several times and had to be approved by a judge." |
