Russian officials bragged they could use Flynn to influence Trump, sources say

Washington (CNN)Russian officials bragged in conversations during the presidential campaign that they had cultivated a strong relationship with former Trump adviser retired Gen. Michael Flynn and believed they could use him to influence Donald Trump and his team, sources told CNN.
The conversations deeply concerned US intelligence officials, some of whom acted on their own to limit how much sensitive information they shared with Flynn, who was tapped to become Trump's national security adviser, current and former governments officials said.
"This was a five-alarm fire from early on," one former Obama administration official said, "the way the Russians were talking about him." Another former administration official said Flynn was viewed as a potential national security problem.
The conversations picked up by US intelligence officials indicated the Russians regarded Flynn as an ally, sources said. That relationship developed throughout 2016, months before Flynn was caught on an intercepted call in December speaking with Russia's ambassador in Washington, Sergey Kislyak. That call, and Flynn's changing story about it, ultimately led to his firing as Trump's first national security adviser.

"SOURCES SAY HILLARY SODOMIZED KITTENS IN THE ARKANSAS GOVERNOR'S MANSION WHILE CHELSEA WATCHED".

Seems perfectly plausible to me.

I'm sure it was just an oversight but you posted a link to an unattributed story on CNN of all places. Just looking out for you. I wouldn't want you to humiliate yourself any further.
And what happened to "Muh Turks"? That was last night's breaking news.

Bragging? Bragging? Even so, what if Trump felt he could us Flynn's ties to Russia to influence them? It works both ways. Why does everyone assume influence would only go one way?

That would confirm Trump had no connection with Russia if Russia thought they needed to have a guy in the administration to influence Trump for them. Guess they didn't fully think this one through when they made up this story.

Tangerine has been way beyond that. He is just a meme at this point.

Why are you committed to war with Russia? You don't think we have targeted people that we have good relationships with Russia, china, etc before trump become president?
I can't believe how much you hope America fails.

So CNN , Flynn was shite canned now what? Russia gate over ? No , you still talking about it . Why would Russia brag about getting to Trump through Flynn when supposedly they hacked the DNC , had Donald Trump on the payroll , and influenced the election? Seems to me they wouldnt need Flynn when they had Trump from the start bitches . Or maybe , its all BS . Yea I think thats it . Stop the foolishness . Very Fake news !

So sources say the Russian folks who were surveilled said they thought of Flynn as an ally... Curious they didn't think of him as an agent. This pretty much confirms he was not an agent.
