Former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn was the subject of media leaks in January and February 2017 that ultimately led to his dismissal and eventually, an indictment.
The leaked information was from transcripts of Flynn's telephone calls that are considered highly classified and sensitive. Several high-ranking officials in the government leaked the information on at least two separate occasions to David Ignatius of the Washington Post, according to the New York Times.
The probe into leaks is part of a Justice Department investigation headed by prosecutor John Durham into the origins of the Russia collusion story.
Daily Caller:
The report is the first indication that Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, is focusing on media leaks as part of an expansive probe into issues related to the government’s investigation into possible ties between Trump associates and the Russian government. Durham has been investigating the FBI’s handling of the Steele dossier and the CIA’s handling of intelligence regarding Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
The story that the leakers gave Ignatius was explosive.
A column that Ignatius wrote on Jan. 12, 2017, helped stoke conspiracies of collusion between Team Trump and the Kremlin. Citing a “senior U.S. government official,” Ignatius reported that Flynn spoke in late December 2016 to Sergey Kislyak, who then served as ambassador to Russia.
Ignatius wrote that Flynn “cultivates close Russian contacts,” and questioned whether the retired lieutenant general spoke with Kislyak about sanctions that the Obama administration had placed against Russia.
That Flynn spoke to the Russian ambassador about sanctions is hardly earth-shattering news. But the insinuation that some sort of deal was in the works between the Trump campaign and the Russian government that sanctions would be lifted if Russia helped Trump win the presidency was totally false.

If we all gather in the most sincere pumpkin patch and wait, the Great Pumpkin will surely appear........
Ignatius and Halberman are absolute agents of the Deep State and the Democrat party.

*************
Drag it out until nobody remembers or cares.
Barr and Durham are a cheap sideshow.
Lets see the indictments and DOJ prosecuting them! Then I will believe!
Meanwhile on Planet Earth, Roger Stone is going to prison and CPL is free.
Has this escalated to a Tucker bombshell yet?
And both their intelligence and common sense are grossly lacking.
If Flynn spoke in late December 2016 to Sergey Kislyak, how in the HELL could they talk about some sort of deal between the Trump campaign and the Russian government to lift sanctions if Russia helped Trump win the presidency?
The election was already OVER. Trump was ALREADY the winner. Any “deal” Flynn made with Kislay and the Russians would be part of the incoming administration, NOT the campaign.
Slow entities....

If the sign of maturity is being able to wait for delayed gratification
Are mature people still allowed to be frustrated ?
As it turns out, the persons who leaked those calls where Lt Col Vindman the unassailable and Eric Ciaramella, anonymous “whistleblower” coached by Adam Schitt.
Not one of these people have to worry about legal issues.
