A far-right Austrian leader who just signed a pact with Putin says he met with Trump's national security adviser in New York




President-elect Donald Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, met with the leader of a far-right Austrian political party that has close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Austrian leader said.

The Freedom Party leader, Heinz-Christian Strache, wrote on his Facebook page Monday that he met with Flynn "and a few other high-ranking US politicians" a few weeks ago at Trump Tower.

He noted in the post that his party had recently signed a cooperation deal with Putin's United Russia party, which "outlined plans for regular meetings and collaboration where suitable on economic, business, and political projects," The New York Times reported on Tuesday.

not skin heads, not American Nazi wannabes, not far right, not alt-right. Nazis.

I would be very interested to know which high ranking US politicians met with him, in addition to Flynn and spawn.
