Not kidding....Guess who ..."signed himself General Misha"?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/31/michael-flynn-new-evidence-spy-chiefs-had-concerns-about-russian-ties

....."One concern involved an encounter with a Russian-British graduate student, Svetlana Lokhova, whom Flynn met on a trip to Cambridge in February 2014.
......

The Guardian understands Flynn and Lokhova remained in email contact, conducted through an unclassified channel. In one email exchange described by Andrew, Flynn signed himself as “General Misha”, Russian for Mike.

Lokhova also listed Flynn as one of four referees who would provide selective endorsements for her book, which is expected to detail how Russian spies penetrated the US atomic weapons programme.

Though there is no suggestion of impropriety, Flynn would have been expected to “self report” any conversation with an unknown person, especially with links to an “adversary” country, such as Russia.

Flynn did not disclose his conversation with Lokhova, the Wall Street Journal reported. Whatever concerns the US intelligence agencies had over Flynn, he retained his top-level security clearance.".....(more)

It was a farce from beginning to end, and what can we say about 60,000,000 ignorant dumbasses who voted for the cretin in the White House?

This is so disgusting.

She's writing a book on Russian intelligence successes? How would we EVER contrive a conclusion that she's NOT connected with the Russian intelligence network?

This, I suspect, is the avenue for blackmail. Lokhova has a "lasting friendship" with Flynn? Really?
