Former top White House official revises statement to special counsel about Flynn's calls with Russi

Source: WaPo

A former top White House official has revised her statement to investigators about a key event in the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, after her initial claim was contradicted by the guilty plea of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to people familiar with the matter.

K.T. McFarland, who briefly served as Flynn’s deputy, has now said that he may have been referring to sanctions when they spoke in late December 2016 after Flynn’s calls with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, these people said.

When FBI agents first visited her at her Long Island home in the summer of 2017, McFarland denied ever talking to Flynn about any discussion of sanctions between him and the ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, in December 2016 during the presidential transition.

For a time, investigators saw her answers as “inconsistent,” putting her in legal peril as the FBI tried to determine if she had lied to them.

Rule number 1 really makes me hope that Trump agrees to be interviewed.

reassure Russia, which she said had just "thrown the U.S.A. election" to Trump. Reassure Russia..re sanctions imposed by - still my President Obama -

Trump was at Mar-a-Lago on December 29 when McFarland — who was also at Mar-a-Lago — and Flynn spoke by phone about Kislyak.

deputy national security adviser McFarland???? It is worse than we think..

Do we know where she is lurking now????

This whole bunch needs to be hosed. Every rock you turn over, in the greater GOP backyard, has vermin underneath it. Vermin that often speaks with a Russian accent.

looks like one of many things Mueller has learned from Manafort and/or Flynn and/or Cohen.

All of the rats must be in a panic, knowing that their traitorous actions are being exposed.

Hey, Mr. Wizzard, who knew that Flynn lied about his Russian contacts but said he wasn't aware?

Oh yeah, VP Mike Pence.

LOCK THEM UP!
