Did Michael Flynn just started singing?

[MyNameIsKhan]

I mean Jared talking to kislyak about secure communication must be in a sterile environment. Russians cannot be that stupid that they spoke over unsecured phone line...

This story is becoming very intriguing ... who is singing ?

[justiceischeap]

1. Nope, from the Reuters story, my guess, is that NSA

was monitoring Kislyak and intercepted the call. The FBI asked that the American names be unmasked and there was Jared.

[MyNameIsKhan]

3. I mean its baffling kislyak talking kushner to over unsecured line... he is considered

top spy master...

[justiceischeap]

4. We have no clue how they were monitoring him at this point

but they were and let's not forget, we have some serious spies on our side too.

[MyNameIsKhan]

6. Yes its just intriguing ... somebody is ratting Trump and Kushner out...

Its possible Obama administration did the homework before they left... and made sure everything has backup and backup and backup

Obama administration rushed to preserve intelligence of Russian election hacking

WASHINGTON — In the Obama administration’s last days, some White House officials scrambled to spread information about Russian efforts to undermine the presidential election — and about possible contacts between associates of President-elect Donald J. Trump and Russians — across the government. Former American officials say they had two aims: to ensure that such meddling isn’t duplicated in future American or European elections, and to leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators.

American allies, including the British and the Dutch, had provided information describing meetings in European cities between Russian officials — and others close to Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin — and associates of President-elect Trump, according to three former American officials who requested anonymity in discussing classified intelligence.

Separately, American intelligence agencies had intercepted communications of Russian officials, some of them within the Kremlin, discussing contacts with Trump associates.

The disclosures about the contacts came as new questions were raised about Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s ties to the Russians. According to a former senior American official, he met with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, twice in the past year. The details of the meetings were not clear, but the contact appeared to contradict testimony Mr. Sessions provided Congress during his confirmation hearing in January when he said he “did not have communications with the Russians.”

8. My guess is that it wasn't unsecured.

A number of commentators tonight mentioned that someone thought it was worth burning that intelligence technique for this revelation.

It also possible that the Russians change or upgraded their facilities and the technique was no longer useful anyway.

[justiceischeap]

13. Yep, there's that too

And if they are burning this technology to get this info out there then what they aren't telling us must be pretty damn bad.

2. Maybe, its his shot across Benedict Donald's bow don't leave him alone on this or he'll start singin

[displacedtexan]

5. The intercepts could've been from some pissed off European country's spying on Kislyak.

That's my theory today, after Trump showing the world what an utter asshole he really is.

[MyNameIsKhan]

9. Well this kind of story cannot comeout in a day, WP must be working on this for sometime

I am sure this is not end, they have more damaging information which will come out at right time... this was welcome home to Drumph and shadow over G7 summit.

[world wide wally]

14. I think this

He pissed off all of the NATO nations so now he faces the music

[Generic Brad]

7. I think some of it came from the Russians

Trump is no longer useful to them as an asset, so now they will screw him over so that they can crush the heart and soul of our country. Jokes on them. Trump already crushed our souls last November.

[MyNameIsKhan]

11. I doubt that, why would Russians expose spy machine they have setup here, this implicates

Kislyak directly and if concrete proof of Russian collusion comes out, they have lot to loose...

One possibility on this theory is Drumph not able to meet Russian demands and they squeezing him out...

[GoCubsGo]

10. Not likely.

The fact that they refused to offer him immunity tells me that they don't need him or his testimony. I am guessing they already have tons of other evidence to make their case.

[DefenseLawyer]

12. Publicly refusing to offer use immunity for testifying doesn't mean he hasn't flipped

They are two separate things entirely.
