So from a quick read standout...did the O admin dismiss all the Russians prior to the change over to disrupt/interfere in Trump admin negotiations on a middle east peace target? Work with Russia to find an agreement that all sides could accept, but lets put a spoke in the wheels and disrupt relations between US/Russia buy basically forcing Russia to retaliate by dismissing US officials. The O admin was all about disrupting the transition...all all costs. These conversations, know every aspect was still in motion from the changing of the guards, seems to me that Flynn was concerned with things not escalating beyond measure and unduly influencing US/Russian relations. Sabotage of the incoming admin.
