Mole? The calls raise fresh questions among some U.S. officials.
The calls raised fresh questions among some U.S. officials about contacts between Trumps advisers and Russian officials at a time when U.S. intelligence agencies contend that Moscow waged a multifaceted campaign of hacking and other actions to boost Republican Trumps election chances against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

(1,441 posts)Russian Ambassador Invited Trump Administration to Syria Peace Talks as US Issued Sanctions
Incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak extended the invitation to the talks, which are scheduled for later this month, during a phone call with President-elect Donald Trump's incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn on December 29th, the day the U.S. issued sanctions and expelled 35 Russian diplomats from the country.
The Obama administration was unsuccessful in securing a seat in Syria peace negotiations during talks with Russia and other regional powers and has been excluded from the most recent rounds. The next talks about Syria are scheduled for January 23rd in Astana, Kazakhstan, three days after Trump takes office.
Spicer initially told reporters the conversation between Flynn and Kislyak only focused on arranging a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President-elect Donald Trump after the Inauguration.

In this case Flynn got nervous and ran to his Russian controlling agent, they then discussed that Obama maybe on to them. But since Flynn ran directly to the Russians for help they agree to release a false narrative to the public about what was discussed during their meeting. Hence a "cover story".
