Trump team in close contact with Russian intelligence ahead of US election: US reports
Phone records and intercepted calls show members of Donald Trump's presidential campaign had repeated contact with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the US election, according to US media reports.
Key points:
Multiple US officials have spoken of intercepted communications, the New York Times and CNN reports
Communications were between Trump campaign members, associates and Russian intelligence, government officials
Russian officials discussed their special access to Mr Trump in intercepted calls
US law enforcement and intelligence agencies reportedly intercepted the communications about the same time they were discovering evidence Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee.
Both The New York Times and CNN have cited multiple current and former American officials in their reports.
The intelligence agencies sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election, the Times said.
Michael Thomas Flynn (born December 1958) is a retired United States Army Lieutenant General who served in the U.S. Army for 33 years, from 1981 until 2014. In January 2017 he briefly served as National Security Advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump. In December 2017 he pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI, a felony, about contacts he had with the Russian government during Trump's presidential transition.
You Don't pleaded Guilty unless you are! You must have never served.
“If he didn’t do it, then why did he settle?” ‘Cause they were driving him bankrupt! Flynn was broke.
What a LINE of BULL.
The Russia investigation and Donald Trump: a timeline from on-the-record sources
U.S. law enforcement agencies and Congress are investigating links between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia, as part of a broader probe into Moscow’s meddling in the 2016 election.
At least eight Trump associates had contacts with Russian government officials or business people during the campaign and presidential transition. To date, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation has swept up four members of Trump’s campaign, including two who have agreed to work with Mueller’s team as part of a plea deal.
As the investigation has unfolded, we’ve learned that some things the Trump team claimed never happened, actually did happen. Stories have changed, recollections have been refreshed and government officials have come forward with new assessments of the intelligence.
This timeline documents everything we know thus far about the investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia. The sources are either verified events, court filings, public statements, or on-the-record media reports.

Flynn was fired after Trump found out about his lying ..It has been proven that he misled Vice President Mike Pence and other administration officials about his contacts with Kislyak.....So whats your point?
Guess you missed the POINT. Amazing how many X Trump people have being fired, or forced to resign only after the free press has reported it. Most of it is known buy the White House for weeks or months. You keep making excuses for a Corrupt Administration.
When one gets so invested in something or someone one gets to a point of no return where one has to continue to defend the thing or person otherwise one loses face
Just Another FAKE RUSSIAN NEWS Post in the link
In fact, evidence of the connections between Trump’s bid for the White House and Russian ambitions to manipulate the 2016 U.S. election keeps piling up. Throughout late 2016 and early 2017, a series of reports from the U.S. intelligence community and other government agencies underlined and reinforced nearly every element of the Russian hacking narrative, including the Russian preference for Trump. The reports were notable in part because their findings exposed the agencies to criticism from Trump and his supporters and put them at odds with Trump’s public dismissals of reported Russian attempts to help him get elected, which he has called “fake news.”
In addition, a series of details has emerged through unofficial channels that seems to corroborate these authorized assessments. A classified NSA document obtained by The Intercept last year states that Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, played a role in the Russian hack of the 2016 American election. In August, a Russian hacker confessed to hacking the Democratic National Committee under the supervision of an officer in Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB, who has separately been accused of spying for the U.S. And Dutch intelligence service AIVD has reportedly given the FBI significant inside information about the Russian hack of the Democratic Party.
Given all this, it seems increasingly likely that the Russians have pulled off the most consequential covert action operation since Germany put Lenin on a train back to Petrograd in 1917.
