Having caused chaos in financial markets briefly, set the liberal media on fire with ‘I told you so’s, and sparked a renewed round of #ImpeachTrump demands,\u00a0ABC News\u00a0<\/a>issued a ‘clarification’ to their bombshell Flynn report that not only negates the entire story but provides President Trump with another round of ammunition to fire against the ‘fake news’ media.<\/p>\n Critically,\u00a0ABC News reports,<\/a>\u00a0correcting their earlier report, that\u00a0Michael Flynn is prepared to testify that Donald Trump directed him to contact the Russians\u00a0as president-elect, not as a candidate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here is the full ‘clarification’<\/p>\n During a live Special Report, ABC News reported that a confidant of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said Flynn was prepared to testify that then-candidate Donald Trump instructed him to contact Russian officials\u00a0during the campaign.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n That source later clarified that during the campaign, Trump assigned Flynn and a small circle of other senior advisers to\u00a0find ways to repair relations with Russia and other hot spots.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was shortly after the election, that President-elect Trump directed Flynn to contact Russian officials on topics that included working jointly against ISIS<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So to clarify – just as President Trump had stated, there was no contact with Russians during his time as a candidate but in fact it was in transition as he attempted to mend broken bridges with another world super-power in his role as president-elect – this in no way a criminal act at all.\u00a0In fact, reaching out to foreign governments during transitions is standard procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n CNN is embarrassed…<\/p>\n ABC News spokesperson tells me that \u201cWorld News\u201d will clarify that this should be president-elect Trump, not candidate Trump. https:\/\/t.co\/Xm0BuvAstj<\/a><\/p>\n — Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) December 1, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
