MOSCOW (AP) — Russian lawmakers on Tuesday mounted a fierce defense of U.S. President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, who resigned following reports that he misled White House officials about his contacts with Russia.

Michael Flynn resigned Monday night, conceding that he gave "incomplete information" about his calls with Russia's ambassador to the U.S.

A U.S. official told The Associated Press that Flynn was in frequent contact with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak on the day the Obama administration imposed sanctions on Russia after U.S. intelligence reported that Russia had interfered with the U.S. elections. The Kremlin has confirmed that Flynn has been in contact with Kislyak but denied that they talked about lifting sanctions.


Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the foreign affairs committee at the upper chamber of the Russian parliament, said in a post on Facebook that firing a national security adviser for his contacts with Russia is "not just paranoia but something even worse."

4. Now we know who writes Trump's tweets !

Seriously, that sounds exactly like something he would tweet, except he might have used a shorter word than "destabilizaion" and would have appended a one-word exclamation like "Sad!" at the end.

5. Wikileaks should be saying "resigns after true content of phone calls is leaked"

and they ought to be cheering that bit of transparency. They sully the idea they were founded on every day.
