Susan Rice calls for Flynn-Kislyak transcripts to be released

Source: The Hill


BY TAL AXELROD - 05/19/20 08:57 PM EDT

Former Obama administration national security adviser Susan Rice has called for the Trump administration to release transcripts of phone calls between Michael Flynn, her successor under President Trump, and then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak.

Rice, through a spokeswoman, renewed her call for the transcripts to be publicly released after acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell declassified an email Rice sent to herself documenting a meeting in January 2017 about Flynn's contacts with Kislyak.

“In the interest of transparency, Ambassador Rice again calls upon the Director of National Intelligence to release the unredacted transcripts of all Kislyak-Flynn calls,” spokeswoman Erin Pelton said in a statement on behalf of Rice. “The American people deserve the full transcripts so they can judge for themselves Michael Flynn’s conduct.”

. . .

Flynn's interactions with Kislyak were the focus of the email Rice sent to herself on Inauguration Day in January 2017, the contents of which were fully declassified Tuesday.

Bet money on it.

Makes me think of other tapes she and others on President Obama's team has and will release!

Payback is a bitch!

If it was so terrible to "unmask" Flynn's identity, if it was all SOOOO innocuous, then let's hear what the hubbub was all about and put this to bed!!

Lets hear the recordings as to why Flynn pleaded guilty and why this email was written. This is what generated the email in the 1st place. The gang that can't shoot straight.
