    That is relevant now because one of Flynn’s lies to the FBI was when he said that he never asked Russia’s ambassador to Washington, Sergey Kislyak, to delay the vote for the U.N. Security Council resolution. The indictment released today from the office of special prosecutor Robert Mueller describes this lie: “On or about December 22, 2016, Flynn did not ask the Russian Ambassador to delay the vote on or defeat a pending United Nations Security Council resolution.”

    At the time, the U.N. Security Council resolution on Israeli settlements was a big deal. Even though the Obama administration had less than a month left in office, the president instructed his ambassador to the United Nations to abstain from a resolution, breaking a precedent that went back to 1980 when it came to one-sided anti-Israel resolutions at the U.N.

    This was the context of Kushner’s instruction to Flynn last December. One transition official at the time said Kushner called Flynn to tell him he needed to get every foreign minister or ambassador from a country on the U.N. Security Council to delay or vote against the resolution. Much of this appeared to be coordinated also with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose envoys shared their own intelligence about the Obama administration’s lobbying efforts to get member states to support the resolution with the Trump transition team.

    It clearly had NOTHING to do with the election.

    At a minimum Kushner needs to have his national security clearance revoked

    Are we supposed to believe that Flynn, Manafort, Kushner, and Don Jr. were all to some degree having discussions with Russians without Candidate Trump knowing about it?

      PF,
      No! We are to assume that AFTER the election Trump instructed hia son-in-law that it is better to be friendly towards the Russians to get them to defeat ISIS in Syria.

      Given that ISIS is more of an enemy. This provided a way to defeat ISIS without loss of American lives.

      Hardly malfeasance. Hardly colluding with the Russians to fix the election.

        Kushner, Manafort, and Don Jr. met with some Russians in June 2016 BEFORE the election. That was the meeting when they were looking for dirt on HRC that turned out to be a wild goose chase. So they acted on their own and didn’t tell candidate Trump? Does anyone seriously believe that?

        And then there’s Sneaky Jeff.

        Even one of Trump’s biggest supporters, Chris Christie, suggested that Jeff Sessions had either lied or made confusing statements during his confirmation hearing.

    Leon Panetta, President Obama’s former Secretary of Defense, told NBC’s Chuck Todd on Friday that it was a “stretch” to say the Trump transition team broke the law with their contacts with the Russians.

    Mueller is an extreme partisan Democrat. He’s just on a fishing expedition.

    The left-wing press is also muck-stirring, in the hope something will stick.

      Mueller is a registered Republican and was appointed head of the FBI by George W. Bush.

    Chris,
    Trump is naive and doesn’t know the process?
    Naive of what? That a disfunctional congress, a group of self serving time waisters that need to be held accountable and exposed happens to be ” The Process “?
