This makes me happy.
Why the hell aren't the Democrats making more noise about this?
Because it was published less than an hour ago.
How is this not concrete?once again, nothing concrete or proven, so nothing will come from this.
Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynns communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration.
Neither of those assertions is consistent with the fuller account of Flynns contacts with Kislyak provided by officials who had access to reports from U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies that routinely monitor the communications of Russian diplomats. Nine current and former officials, who were in senior positions at multiple agencies at the time of the calls, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.
All of those officials said Flynns references to the election-related sanctions were explicit. Two of those officials went further, saying that Flynn urged Russia not to overreact to the penalties being imposed by President Barack Obama, making clear that the two sides would be in position to review the matter after Trump was sworn in as president.
Kislyak was left with the impression that the sanctions would be revisited at a later time, said a former official.
A third official put it more bluntly, saying that either Flynn had misled Pence or that Pence misspoke. A spokesman for Pence did not respond to a request for comment. The sanctions in question have so far remained in place.

Folks this is big big big big big.
I'm sure Comey will get right on that, any day now

Democrats are fucking cowards. They don't go nearly as hard as Republicans do. Spineless. Even as the minority party, Republicans would be using the news to their advantage to make a big fucking deal out of this, enough so that it would smear the sitting president enough for it to leave a mark on his overall public support.
There is plenty of stuff already the Democrats should have been using, but they are too afraid it seems.
Just adding admin comment on Pence/Flynn: "An administration official stressed that VP Pence based his comments on his convo with Gen Flynn"

Shot:
1. Flynn once claimed to not discuss sanctions at all
2. Flynn's office (spokesperson) now claims 'he doesn't recall if it came up')
3. Mike Pence went to bat for Flynn, meaning either Flynn lied to Pence or Pence lied to the American public
Chaser:
Admin already throwing Flynn under the bus. This is big folks. Don't let your cynicism sway you from seeing the avalanche coming.

I think we've all had enough "This is it!" moments to realize that news like this should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Yup. Just like Conway was given a "talking" to.Pence just gonna throttle Flynn
Is this the smoking gun we have been waiting for?
Honestly the problem is we've found a bunch of smoking guns only to learn that the shooter is part of the same fire squad that would be asked to investigate themIs this the smoking gun we have been waiting for?

lied, the word is lied. One or both of them are lying
I really want to to believe that this can lead to something. Nothing has stuck to this administration though, so I'm not going to hold my breath.
No one even seems to bring up the fact that the Russians interfered with our election anymore. Like, it just disappeared.
Damn, that's an amazing way of phrasing what it is going on. Fucking mind blowing, really.

So who is Billy Bush hereRemember when the pussy tapes leaked and we thought Trump was done? Good times.

Federal officials who have read the transcript of the call were surprised by Mr. Flynns comments, since he would have known that American eavesdroppers closely monitor such calls. They were even more surprised that Mr. Trumps team publicly denied that the topics of conversation included sanctions.
Next time get yourself a four-star general
Welp, it might not get to Trump, but it's going to get someone.
Enlighten this Canadian but don't you guys execute people for committing treason .
