https://www.rt.com/news/377282-flynn-resignation-kremlin-usa/It's a domestic issue of the US and the Kremlin won't comment on it.
For the rest of the article, RT obfuscates that the point isn't that Flynn lied to Pence. It's that Flynn undermined the US-government.
Also, RT writes that the US-media claims that this is about US-sanctions. Nope. It's US-intelligence saying that, not the media.

Again, Flynn is resigning because of lying to Pence, not because of discussing sanctions. Were sanctions discussed? Well, some US-officials say Yes, but the Kremlin says No. And the Kremlin refuses to issue any further comment except that they don't comment on this domestic US-issue.

This article is about "former Pentagon analyst" Michael Maloof bashing the US-media and the Democrats for destroying Flynn because they hate Trump.
Russia Today somehow forgot to mention that "former Pentagon analyst" Michael Maloof lost his Pentagon security clearance because he was involved with an arms-dealer selling weapons to war-zones in Africa.
Also, they forgot to mention that Michael Maloof is nowadays a contributor of the conspiracy- and fake news-website WorldNetDaily.

This article is about "lawyer and filmmaker" Mike Cernovich bashing the media and the Democrats.
Russia today somehow forgot to mention that Mike Cernovich
* is an alt-right celebrity
* he used his media-presence to drum up support for Trump's campaign
* he's the guy who invented the conspiracy-theory that HRC is too sick to be President
* he's a men's-rights activist
* a date-rape-apologist ("It doesn't exist."
* a self-avowed misogynist ("It gets you laid."
* a self-avowed internet-troll
* He once was on Fox News for an interview and they regretted having him on.
But he's obviously just the kind of person Russia Roday needs to ask about US-politics.

He should take the advice Tom Hagen gave Frankie Five Angels when he visited him in prison.

(99,716 posts)3. Ed follows the money.
He was a right wing talk show host who "turned left" when he couldn't compete with the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity. Now he's pimping for Russia Today. The constant in every incarnation is the bashing of mainstream Democrats.
