Russia knew Flynn lied because VP Pence went on national television and said Flynn had personally told him he had no contact with Russia regarding sanctions. Which was not true.

Why is this so complicated?

I should add that ANY REGULAR PERSON would be denied even the lowest-level security clearance if the FBI discovered behavior like that of Flynn’s during a background check. He should have never gotten this job to begin with.

Better to wait for the final verdict.
Just to be clear

The below is true or false?

Judge Sullivan: “Do you wish to challenge the circumstances on which you were interviewed by the FBI?”

Michael Flynn: "No, your honor. I was aware that lying to the FBI was a crime.

Judge Sullivan: "Do you believe that you were entrapped by the FBI?"

Michael Flynn: "No."

The below is true or false?

Zelensky: “There was no pressure or blackmail from the U.S. I had no idea the military aid was held up [at the time of his July 25 call with Trump]. When I did find out, I raised it with [Vice President] Pence at a meeting in Warsaw”

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
