Russian 'Lawmakers' Howl At Loss Of Their Pal Flynn; Putin Tells Them to Shut Up.
The reaction of so-called Russian lawmakers to the abrupt resignation of Trumps National Security Adviser Michael Flynn may have gotten a little out of control. Speechifying from assorted rubberstampskaya commenced immediately upon the storys breaking, with each Russian oligarchian tool expressing his outrage and indignation.
First out of the box was a guy named (I kid you not) Leonid Slutskiy:
Under these circumstances, my conclusion is that the real target in this scheme is Russian-American relations and the general trust in the new administration, Slutskiy said. It is obvious that Flynn had to submit his resignation under certain pressure. But President Trump accepted it. The chosen pretext was Flynns contact with the Russian ambassador, even though this is normal diplomatic practice, he noted.
Not to be outdone, Konstantin Kosachev, who according to the infamous dossier released by Buzzfeed news purportedly met with representatives of the Trump campaign in Prague (something he adamantly denies), weighed in with dark Orwellian imagery:
Hawks in Washington see even simple willingness for dialogue with the Russians as a thought crime (in the words of the immortal G. Orwell). To drive a national security adviser into resignation for his contacts with the Russian ambassador (a common diplomatic practice) is more than paranoia, it is something immeasurably worse, Kosachev wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
