Берни Сандерс в интервью CNN:

BURNETT: I want to start straight with General Flynn. If General Flynn was lying those times when he said that sanctions did not come up, that he did speak to the Russian ambassador about sanctions before taking office, should the president fire him?

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS, (I) FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Well, this is a very troubling development and it speaks to the broader issue of Russia's involvement in our elections, it speaks to the issue of President Trump being buddy, buddy, with a thug and a murderer who is the head of Russia and now we're learning there may have been discussions between Flynn and the -- and the Russians about sanctions before this administration took power. So this is very, very troubling and I think the president is going to have to tell us what he's going to do about it.

BURNETT: So, so far he hasn't said much, Senator. I don't know if you've heard. Here's what he has said, you know, he was asked about this report about Flynn on his flight to Mar-a-Lago late today, right? He just landed about an hour or so ago and here's how he responded.

TRUMP: I don't know about that, I haven't seen it. What report is that?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) reporting that he talked to the ambassador to Russia before you were inaugurated about sanctions maybe try to --

TRUMP: I haven't seen that, I'll look at that.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BURNETT: He says he knows nothing about it, hasn't seen any of these reports. Is that a problem?

SANDERS: Well, I don't know, maybe he was watching CNN fake news, what do you think?

BURNETT: You don't buy it?

SANDERS: That was a joke.

BURNETT: I know it was a joke. I'm saying, you don't buy what he said, obviously?

После этого возникла техническая заминка, и когда связь восстановилась, Сандерс перевел разговор с Флинна на свою любимую тему про миллионеров и миллардеров.

While on FAKE NEWS @CNN, Bernie Sanders was cut off for using the term fake news to describe the network. They said technical difficulties!

Раз пошла такая пьянка, укажем на российские связи самого Сандерса:

Воскресенье

[tijd.livejournal.com]

В воскресное утро на разных телеканалах проходят новостные передачи, где ведущие берут интервью у ключевых людей. Белый Дом по-прежнему отказывается посылать кого-либо из администрации Трампа давать интервью "fake news" CNN, но послал одного представителя (Стивена Миллера) отдуваться за администрацию на четырех других каналах: ABC, NBC, CBS и Fox News.

Congratulations Stephen Miller- on representing me this morning on the various Sunday morning shows. Great job!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 12, 2017

На двух из этих каналов (ABC и NBC) Миллера спросили про скандал с Майклом Флинном, но он отказался что-либо сообщить.

Неизвестно, как долго Трамп рассчитывает тянуть время или отвлекать публику другими скандалами.

Между тем Джон Шиндлер поделился неслабым сообщением от анонимного источника в Пентагоне:

What’s going on was explained lucidly by a senior Pentagon intelligence official, who stated that “since January 20, we’ve assumed that the Kremlin has ears inside the SITROOM,” meaning the White House Situation Room, the 5,500 square-foot conference room in the West Wing where the president and his top staffers get intelligence briefings. “There’s not much the Russians don’t know at this point,” the official added in wry frustration.
