if we add that Trump told Flynn to make the contacts and promise sanctions wouldn't last. That would explain why Flynn went ahead despite the warnings. It would explain why Flynn wasn't fired for weeks after the White House was informed Flynn discussed sanctions on the call. (He was only doing what he was told to do.)

If Trump was behind the contacts and offers, it shows not only that Trump undermined the foreign policy of the United States. It also is very suspicious that Trump would go so far out of his way to benefit Russia. That leads to the question of why Trump would do so. Payback for the hacking as promised?

I don't know why nobody is asking about Trump's role in the calls.
