if you are waiting for shoes to drop in this particular news environment, that one's like a big freaking logging boot that will fall off a ten-story window sill at some point. wear a hard hat. we are still waiting for an explanation of that and we don't have one. the other part of michael flynn's firing that never made sense, though was its timing. mike flynn reportedly had multiple conversations with russian government officials during the presidential campaign which, of course, is when russia was interfering in our presidential election to hurt hillary clinton and help donald trump, his multiple communications with russian officials, those also remain unexplained. what was he talking to the russian government about while the russian government was attacking our election? i would love to know. that said, further non-explained data here, michael flynn apparently continued his communications with russian officials beyond the campaign past election day and into the transition. his conversations with the russian ambassador that led to his firing happened during the transition. they happened in late december around christmas and new year's.
