It's illegal depending on what they talked about.

Flynn is accused of asking Kislyak to delay a UN vote and not let things within Russia escalate after the US imposed some sanctions prior to trump taking office.

Both of those actions are illegal.

The "left" was blaming the loss by Hillary on the Russians and Trump wanted to hide the fact that they had even talked to them.

Fill me in?
I don't understand this post.

Absutely wrong on two counts:

1) Flynn is accused of lying to the FBI about contacting the Russians

2) There is absolutely nothing wrong about contacting foreign emissaries as part of a transition team and asking for policy adjustments in light of starting a new relationship as long as there is not a
nefarious quid pro quo.....general national interest quid pro quo is common occurrence (for example, since I supported your UN resolution X, please give me that trade preferential treatment Y)

The OP relies on Russian TV to get his news. Pushing Russian propaganda.... Man, they don't even try and keep themselves secret anymore. Must be their popularity with the Left, as they hang on every word "Russia".

That's a lot of lying and 'forgotten' contacts to cover up the truth, wouldn't you say? Why so many lies from the Trump team? It's almost as if they are guilty of something.
