When Trump fired his NSA, Michael Flynn, in Feb 2017, White House officials portrayed him as a renegade who had acted independently in his discussions with a Russian official and then lied to Pence,,and others about the interactions. But emails among top transition officials, show that Flynn was far from a rogue actor. In fact, the emails, coupled with interviews and court documents showed that Flynn was in close touch with other senior members of the Trump transition team both before and after he spoke with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, about American sanctions against Russia.
After learning that Obama would expel 35 Russian diplomats, the Trump team quickly strategized about how to reassure Russia.
On Dec. 29 2016, transition adviser K. T. McFarland, wrote in an email to a colleague that sanctions announced hours before by Obama in retaliation for Russian election meddling were aimed at discrediting Trump’s victory. The sanctions,,she wrote, could also make it much harder for Mr. Trump to ease tensions with Russia, “which has just thrown the U.S.A. election to him,” she wrote in the emails.😲
