Michael Flynn and other advisers to Donald Trump’s campaign were in contact with Russian officials and others with Kremlin ties in at least 18 calls and emails during the last seven months of the 2016 presidential race, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the exchanges told Reuters.

What laws were broken?

There was a lot of contact with other foreign officials too, especially Britain.

I have three questions:

1) Why is this just now being leaked?

2) Who is doing the leaking? Are they connected to Obama? Is it Obama himself?

3) Who exactly were the Russians? Lots and lots of Russians have some ties to the government in some way.

I would like a better explanation of this. What do they consider ties to the Kremlin?

You don't think there's a little difference in our relationship with Britain vs. Russia?

If you don't have the balls to come forward with your real name, I won't give you the courtesy of believing you. Until these U.S. officials come forward with names, dates, topics, and proof of a concerted effort to sabotage the U.S. election in favor of Donald Trump, I will continue to regard this as fake news.

So what are the rules regarding disclosure of contact with foreign governments for campaigns anyway?

Yes.

The government is still full of Obamabots.

Trump should wholesale dismiss every fricking one of them today.

Conversations between Flynn and Kislyak accelerated after the Nov. 8 vote as the two discussed establishing a back channel for communication between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that could bypass the U.S. national security bureaucracy, which both sides considered hostile to improved relations, four current U.S. officials said.


Wow. Flynn was trying to setup communications for Trump and Putin that would allow bypassing NSA surveillance.

Also, it's interesting that Flynn knew the deep state is extremely opposed to improved American and Russian relations. Dennis Kucinich has been saying this for a while, and it seems he is right.
