KT McFarland Identified As Other Senior Official In Flynn Charging Documents

[RandySF]

Prosecutors say Flynn on Dec. 29 spoke with the senior transition team official, later identified as McFarland, about what, if anything, to tell the Russians about sanctions that had been imposed one day earlier by the Obama administration in retaliation for election interference. At the time, McFarland was with Trump and other senior advisers at Mar-A-Lago in Florida.

After the discussion with McFarland, Flynn called the Russian ambassador and requested that Russia “not escalate the situation” and respond “in a reciprocal manner,” a conversation prosecutors say he then reported back to transition team members. Just days later, Vladimir Putin opted not to retaliate.

Another conversation with Kislyak occurred one week earlier after a “very senior member” of the presidential transition team, later revealed to be Kushner, directed Flynn to contact foreign government officials, including from Russia, about a U.N. Security Council resolution regarding Israeli settlements.

In a striking rupture with past practice, the Obama administration refrained from vetoing the condemnation of the settlement expansion, opting instead to abstain. The rest of the 15-nation council, including Russia, voted unanimously against Israel. At the time, Israel was lobbying furiously against the resolution and the Trump team spoke up on behalf of the Jewish state.

Former U.S. officials and foreign diplomats have said Kushner led the transition effort to defeat that U.N. vote.

During his conversation with Kislyak, prosecutors say, Flynn requested that Russia vote against or delay the resolution, though he admitted in his plea deal that he later lied to the FBI by saying he had not made that request.

2. FYI background, via wiki: (original surname "Troia")

Troia went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she undertook concentrations in nuclear weapons, China, and the Soviet Union.[8] She spent three years there in study toward PhD, ending up in the all but dissertation state.[13][14] The title of her unfinished thesis was "The Sino-Soviet nuclear confrontation of 1969 from the point of view of the Herman Kahn stepladder period of escalation".[3] A second thesis attempt may have been entitled "The President's Strategic Defense Initiative".[15]

In later years, McFarland commented on this time in the context of women forcing their way to greater opportunities.[5] In particular, she recalled: "I'll never forget being at a Capitol Hill staff meeting in the early 1980s, after being at the top of my class at Oxford University and teaching nuclear weapons at MIT. One of the male staff members who was several years my junior, not as well qualified and not as productive, felt entitled enough to ask me to get him coffee. Later, when I asked my boss about it, he suggested I might want to throttle back on working so hard, because it was making the men on the staff feel threatened."[5]

4. I see from her wiki entry that she has a history of lying about

her credentials/positions. Strange that I can not find what college she was affiliated with at Oxford. Also, the top of her class claim seems very fishy.

She has probably never been to Oxford in England. She probably went to Oxford, Mississippi for a visit and just got confused.
