>> christmas day general flynn reached out to the ambassador and sent him a text and it said, you know, "i want to wish you and -- merry christmas and a happy new year." the ambassador texted him back wishing him a merry christmas as well and then spently subseque the 28th of december texted him and said "i'd like to give you a call, may i?" he took the call on the 29th and the call centered around the logistics of setting up a call with the president of russia and the elect after he was sworn in. >> this all seems completely innocent, above board. but there was something a bit peculiar i noticed about spicer's account. you note he cited two dates when flynn supposedly had contact, december 25 christmas day and december 28 but the white house announced new sanctions in response to russia's election sbe feer
