then, general flynn denied that to vice president mike pence. the fbi also interviewed general flynn and if you lied to them can better be a crime. however, that is a big if. it is not a crime for mr. flynn to informally talk with the russian ambassador before donald trump took office. but it is highly inappropriate if policy was discussed. so, at this point, flynn is out and it looks like retired vice admiral burl robert harward will take his place. he is 60 years old, extensive military experience, served in afghanistan. it looks like a solid choice but you never know. by the way, the fbi is still investigating the whole russian situation, but that is all we know at this point. however, lack of facts doesn't stop the anti-trump press it from whipping up hysteria. there are two things in play. first, the trump haters are fervently hoping they can link the trump campaign to the russian hackers, who disrupted
