I said it to a cop who gave me a distracted driving ticket, claiming I was talking on my phone, when I wasn't.

National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country’s ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said.
Flynn’s communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election.
Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, “No.”
On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn “indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn’t be certain that the topic never came up.”
Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn’s communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration.
Flynn’s contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing. U.S. intelligence agencies were then concluding that Russia had waged a cyber campaign designed in part to help elect Trump; his senior adviser on national security matters was discussing the potential consequences for Moscow, officials said.
The talks were part of a series of contacts between Flynn and Kislyak that began before the Nov. 8 election and continued during the transition, officials said. In a recent interview, Kislyak confirmed that he had communicated with Flynn by text message, by phone and in person, but declined to say whether they had discussed sanctions.
The emerging details contradict public statements by incoming senior administration officials including Mike Pence, then the vice president-elect. They acknowledged only a handful of text messages and calls exchanged between Flynn and Kislyak late last year and denied that either ever raised the subject of sanctions.

Doesn't Trumpy still get to nominate a Supreme Court Judge?
Given his 3M skin, I'm thinking this challenge makes him now go way Further Right on his nominee to stick it to his opponents.

And his nominee though a republican all star, hates executive power creep.
At least for the Trump years Gorsuch will be a valuable check on Trump

His nominee, Gorsuch, is already in the process. And, he has thrown Trump under the bus and denounced Trump's criticism of the court.

That's the problem with American politics. People don't vote on issues that matter, they vote on culture war garbage that will never affect them unless they go out of their way to let those issues affect their lives. They make dumb decisions because they are conditioned to respond to the culture war issues and respond in predictable ways. It's fascinating to watch.
