Probe Continues
T. McFarland had found herself in hot water about questions related to Flynn. This would also have a negative reflect on Trump.
She denied any knowledge of Michael Flynn meeting with a former Russian Ambassador. McFarland said “I am not aware of any of the issues or events described above.”
Senator Cory Booker had asked McFarland about her knowledge of the issue related to the Flynn meeting.
Mr. Booker asked, “Did you ever discuss any of General Flynn’s contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak directly with General Flynn?”
Booker said he believed that he was lied to by McFarland. “If this is the case, this is an alarming development, and another example of a pattern of deception on the part of Trump’s closest associates regarding their connections and communications to Russian government officials,” he said.
However emails retrieved by the investigators prove she had knowledge of the said meeting. She wrote in an email “General Flynn is talking to the Russian ambassador this evening.”
She also wrote: “If there is a tit-for-tat escalation, Trump will have difficulty improving relations with Russia which has just thrown U.S.A. election to him.”
If this was so, then Trump would have a hard time proving “no collusion.”
