Former top White House official revises statement to special counsel about Flynn's calls with Russi
Source: WaPo
A former top White House official has revised her statement to investigators about a key event in the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, after her initial claim was contradicted by the guilty plea of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to people familiar with the matter.
K.T. McFarland, who briefly served as Flynns deputy, has now said that he may have been referring to sanctions when they spoke in late December 2016 after Flynns calls with Russias ambassador to the United States, these people said.
When FBI agents first visited her at her Long Island home in the summer of 2017, McFarland denied ever talking to Flynn about any discussion of sanctions between him and the ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, in December 2016 during the presidential transition.
For a time, investigators saw her answers as inconsistent, putting her in legal peril as the FBI tried to determine if she had lied to them.

(5,801 posts)looks like one of many things Mueller has learned from Manafort and/or Flynn and/or Cohen.
All of the rats must be in a panic, knowing that their traitorous actions are being exposed.
