Of course you are aware that Michael Flynn's top security clearance was renewed in 2016. Seems Obama's admin failed to vet him about his 2014 trip to Moscow where he accepted money for a speech. His security clearance should have been revoked in 2014!
Kremlin spokesman: Russian ambassador met with advisers to Clinton campaign too Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said in an interview Sunday that the Russian ambassador who met with Trump campaign officials also met with “people working in think tanks advising Hillary or advising people working for Hillary.”
“Well, if you look at some people connected with Hillary Clinton during her campaign, you would probably see that he had lots of meetings of that kind,” Dmitry Peskov told CNN “GPS” host Fareed Zakaria. “There are lots of specialists in politology, people working in think tanks advising Hillary or advising people working for Hillary.”
Peskov said it is the job of Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak to meet with officials on both sides to talk about “bilateral relations.”
Peskov also defended those meetings, saying they were not an attempt to interfere in the 2016 election. “But there were no meetings about elections — electoral process … So if you look at it with intention to demonize Russia, you would probably say that, yes, he was trying to interfere in Hillary's activities. But it would be nonsense, because this is not true,” Peskov said.
Peskov also said Putin never voiced support for then-presidential candidate Trump.
“You would probably recall that President Putin, during election campaign, had never answered directly a question about his candidate of his support. He kept saying that we will respect a choice of American people,” Peskov told Zakaria.
Peskov, did however, concede that Putin preferred Trump over Clinton, saying, “If you ask him whether he had mentioned the then-candidate Donald Trump, I will answer, yes, he had.”
Peskov suggested that the Kremlin leader found Clinton hostile toward Russia, while Trump was open to thawing U.S.-Russian relations.
“The candidate Hillary Clinton was quite negative about our country in her attitude and in her program, declaring Russia being nearly the main evil in the world and the main threat for the United States,” Peskov said.
“And to the contrary, the other candidate, Donald Trump, was saying that, 'Yes, we disagree with the Russians ... in lots of issues, but we have to talk to them in order to try to find some understanding.' Whom would you like better? The one who says that Russia is evil or the one who says that, 'Yes, we disagree, but let's talk to understand and to try to find some points of agreement?'” he asked.
Nancy Pelosi Caught Lying About Meeting With Russian Ambassador
After it was revealed that former senator and now Attorney General Jeff Sessions had two meetings with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak before President Donald Trump’s election, the Democrat crisis machine went into the fray full-bore to discredit the attorney general. And at the front of the charge, of course, was none other than House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
“The fact that the attorney general, the top cop in our country, lied under oath to the American people is grounds for him to resign,” the San Francisco Democrat said at a news conference on Thursday. “He has proved that he is unqualified and unfit to serve in that position of trust.”
Pelosi’s statement is misleading at best. What Sessions told Democrat Sens. Al Franken and Patrick Leahy during his confirmation hearings in January, under oath, is that he had not had any meetings with Russia regarding Donald Trump’s presidential campaign — and, as of now, we’ve seen no evidence that this wasn’t the case. Even the “fact-checking” website Politifact acknowledges this (though it's known for its liberal bias).
Watch: Nancy Pelosi straight up LYING about not meeting same Russian Ambassador

Pelosi’s office responded predictably, by saying what she meant was that she had never had a one-on-one meeting with Kislyak.
“Leader Pelosi’s answer to the question today was clearly about private, one-on-one meetings, which she has never had with Ambassador Kislyak,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said.

NOW the proven LIAR, Susan Rice, has declined to testify in the Senate probe of Russian influence on 2016 election. Looks like they will need to subpoena her! Of course, she could follow the other Obama/Clinton liars and take the 5th!
Not dismissing the Trump - Russian investigations, just waiting for them to find some evidence that there was a connection. It's been over six months and they still don't have squat!
