It's up to the person making a new assertion to prove it. Presidential appointments are not secret, every one is public information. So if someone is asserting that they're causing trouble for the new president, then name their names.

Actually no one know he issue because only a partial of thre transcript was released to the media. Like many had said, the leak is classified and it is a felony. Beside, the journalist should question the source because it is incomplete or do due diligence.

What Flynn did was nothing wrong. He is a spy and he was doing his job.

Russia is not the enemy and we are not at wars. What can Russia do when the US put so many missiles in their front doors?

No, he was not a "spy." At least not for the United States.
