CBS’s Catherine Herridge just dropped the transcript summaries of the call between Gen. Michael Flynn and the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak that there was all the controversy over that resulted in Flynn getting attention from the FBI and ultimately prosecuted for allegedly lying to them.

It’s even more ridiculous then you can imagine that there was any concern about this. In the words of President Donald Trump, this was a “perfect call.” It’s hard to imagine anything more innocuous.

You can read for yourself and draw your own conclusions, but it reads like a perfectly normal call of a transition team trying to set up first contacts, even Flynn telling Kislyak he should not go too far in responding to the the U.S. sanctions because we have a common enemy in the Middle East. Exactly what you would want him to say. There’s absolutely nothing in there that is at all questionable.

There were a few other brief calls on 12/23, 12/31, 1/12 and a voicemail, they also appear to have nothing of note, about setting up contacts.

There are zero things wrong with this Dec 29 call between Kislyak and @GenFlynn. And the tone of the conversation is clearly about expulsions, not the wider economic and political sanctions. That @Comey and the Obama admin wanted to Logan Act this is a disgrace pic.twitter.com/amBv6hgg1P

Also only Kislyak appears to be actually aware the sanctions (political and economic, I.e. distinct from the expulsions) had been *announced*. Flynn seems to be anticipating them being announced. Which makes sense, given he was on holiday in the Dominican Republic

— Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 29, 2020

There was nothing that even remotely invoked the Logan Act. There was absolutely no criminal predicate to justify the interview or position they subsequently took on Flynn. Certainly not compared to the things the Obama officials like John Kerry have done since with Iran. This just adds further that this was all a frame-up to take out Flynn, as well as tar and harm the Trump administration.

No discussion of undermining sanctions, a false claim trotted out by those on the left.

Once again, declassification blows up all the lies spread by Democrats for the last three years.
