Michael Flynn and Son Met With Russia Ambassador Before RT Gala

Source: The Daily Beast



That’s just one of the findings in the House Intelligence Committee’s final report—a report that is marred by the partisan bickering among the committee members.

Before traveling to Russia in 2015 for a dinner hosted by a propaganda network, retired Gen. Michael Flynn and his son, Michael Flynn Jr., went to the home of Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak for a private meeting.

That was just one of several findings in a new, long-awaited report from House intelligence committee Republicans that was released on Friday morning. The report, which is more than 250 pages long, has been overshadowed by the often-acrimonious process that marked its construction. And the findings will likely become fodder for additional partisan bickering rather than a helpful addition to the historical record of the 2016 election.

The report does take the Russian government to task for meddling in that contest. But it questions the Intelligence Community’s conclusion that the Kremlin wanted Trump to win.

Shortly after its release, President Donald Trump touted the report on Twitter. But the report includes a stern criticism of his campaign for praising Wikileaks and a debunking of a favorite talking point among the president’s defenders: The report confirms that the investigation into potential coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin began with then-foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos––not with the so-called Steele dossier.

Along with Faux News and Newsmax.

Anyone not liking that can kiss my ass. I'm the one paying for it so I get to decide what channels are available and I'm not paying for a bunch of loud fucks to come in and shit on my carpet with their hatred.

instead of the same bull shit that Fios, Infinity, Comcast or DirectV or Dish, Sinclair which is owned my people that support right wing hate mongers and whoever is in the local neighbor hood at my expense ...................and since the congress will not allow me to use a pay plan to select the programs I want to watch..................maybe just maybe when the Blue Wave " strikes and the 2019 year rolls around, just maybe if the public will get a law passed that I can legally censor hate tv programs and owners, that make them rich off that hate.................because I am really tired of fucks getting people killed because of there hate.

And I fully agree with your premise.................

released their own report since Nunes destroyed their entire investigation from the very first day. The Dems weren't allowed to get interviews with key witnesses as well as get Don Jr's cell phone records from the Trump Tower meeting (Jr called Daddy that day.....who was in the building). The Russian spy (the fake adoption lawyer) who was at the meeting wasn't given a real interview either.
