Russias Kislyak: Talks With Flynn Absolutely Transparent

Source: Talking Points Memo

By NICOLE LAFOND Published AUGUST 5, 2017 10:08 AM

Former Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergei Kislyak, said his conversations with former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn had been “transparent” and focused on U.S.-Russia cooperation.

“We only spoke about the most simple things … but the communication was completely correct, calm, absolutely transparent. In any case, there were no secrets on our side,” Kislyak said in a panel discussion broadcast by Russian state media, Reuters reported Saturday.

“There are a number of issues which are important for cooperation between Russia and the United States– most of all, terrorism. And that was one of the things we discussed,” he said.

Kislyak’s comments come after he was recalled back to Russia last month after spending nine years as his country’s ambassador to the U.S.

Flynn was forced out of President Donald Trump’s administration in February after it was revealed that he failed to disclose conversations he had with Kislyak about U.S. sanctions with Russia before Trump was inaugurated.

Hey, Kislyak, why don't you come back to this country and go into a federal grand jury, please note, in this country we do not put hoods over someones head and drag them out never to be heard again, and just hang around for your indictment, because either your boss, who is a murder, and the orange hair "guy" his son, former campaign manager, and now our astute attorney general that has lied not once but twice, and you and them can reminiscence about the "REPUBLICAN" convention not the Democratic one, but the "REPUBLICAN" convention to basically sponsor the illegal invasion of government that was duly elected by the people, do I have that straight.

Come on over, lets have a talk on how a spy is still spy that messed with our election ass****, and he has cronies that were more then likely laundering money and your little group was blackmailing them

Eat Me as*****

The question is: Was Sergei Kislyak really a Diplomat or a SPY?
