House Republicans buried this new email from Flynn in their report on Russian election interference

"SNIP.........

On Friday, the Republican members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a 253-page report on their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The purpose of the report, which the Democrats on the committee said was issued prematurely, was to announce their conclusion that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia.

But buried on page 72 was something genuinely newsworthy.

On July 15, 2016, General Michael Flynn, Trump’s former National Security Adviser who is now cooperating with Special Counsel Mueller, sent an email predicting “a number of things…will happen…via cyber operations…by both hacktivists [and] nation-states.”

.........

A week later, Wikileaks began releasing hacked emails from the DNC. This email had not previously been reported.

But the Mueller team would have certainly asked him about this. Any additional information he knew would sweeten his plea deal.

I am now seeing (hopefully) a day soon where our MSM (sans Faux News) actually does their job with unabashed vigor and begins to decapitate the Orange Douche.

I don't believe this is a bullet of hard caliber about to pierce his skull. In fact, compared to many other tidbits-to-(small)bombshells, it's actually quite tiny.

Unless I'm missing something very important.
