I've been struggling with how to tweet about this. If Flynn is referring to a full meeting, it's an earth-shattering revelation: Trump's top NatSec adviser had a full 2015 face-to-face with Putin. If Flynn is just fluffing up sitting next to Putin at dinner, we already knew that.
1/ Here's the part folks are missing (described in more detail in Proof of Conspiracy): days before he sat with Putin, Flynn and his son secretly talked U.S. policy with Kislyak at Kislyak's house. So if there *was* a full face-to-face, Flynn surely was talking policy with Putin.
2/ In December 2015, Flynn says that he was advising multiple candidates. But the history shows Trump was the most intrested in his advice, with the only other candidate we know of expressing much interest being another political neophyte, future Trump cabinet member Ben Carson.
3/ After he drops out of the race, Ben Carson immediately goes to Trump and has a little-reported meeting with him in which he recommends something illegal that involves Flynn and is one of the major shocks in Proof of Conspiracy. So a clear Carson-Trump-Flynn nexus does exist.
4/ Remember too that at its core the secret Saudi Nuclear Deal Flynn was working on (which is the subject of the recent Oversight Committee report for some reason no one's talking about) is a *joint US-Russian venture that required the ending of sanctions*. Process that a moment.
5/ So Flynn talks Mideast policy with Trump as an adviser in 2015. He's simultaneously talking Mideast policy with Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt. His plan involves Russia. He meets with Kislyak, then Putin, then formally joins Trump's campaign. Trump has adopted Flynn's policies.
6/ A full Flynn-Putin meeting in December 2015 means by then (at the latest) Putin knows Trump is on board with Flynn's secret (illegal) prospective negotiation of a US foreign policy under Trump. *That meeting* further induces Putin to commit crimes against America to aid Trump.
