How Michael Flynn Was Set-Up
It was a minor oversight, more than likely due to the former national security advisor’s lack of recall. Nevertheless, in the phony outrage generated by the since-discredited Russian collusion hysteria, Flynn was forced to resign and admit to a process crime to spare his family from a long, crippling trial.

General Michael Flynn was indicted based on a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador on December 29, 2016, seven weeks after the presidential election.
That was the day lame-duck President Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats—including gardeners and chauffeurs—for election interference.
After the measures were announced, members of the Obama Administration listened in on Flynn’s conversation with the ambassador via wiretap.
They expected Flynn to say: “President-elect Trump believes this Russian collusion thing is a fantasy and these sanctions will be lifted on his first day in office.â€
There is nothing wrong with the incoming national security advisor telling an ambassador that the new administration will have a different approach to foreign policy than its predecessor. That is what typically happens in a transition.
Here, though, the accommodation would have been cited to suggest a quid pro quo proving the nonexistent collusion.
