Mole? The calls raise fresh questions among some U.S. officials.

The calls raised fresh questions among some U.S. officials about contacts between Trump’s 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 Trump’s election chances against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

2. Details of the calls here:

Russian Ambassador Invited Trump Administration to Syria Peace Talks as US Issued Sanctions

Russia's ambassador to the U.S. invited the Trump administration to Syrian peace talks during a phone call in December -- on the same day the Obama administration announced sanctions against Russia in retaliation for its hacking during the U.S. election -- a Trump spokesperson said Friday.

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.

6. CNN covering the story live now.

10. I'm sorry..... The term "Cover Story" refers to a spy agency releasing a false story to the public

to cover up its real spying operations.

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".

11. Funny how the most violent aggressive crazy militant repugs are also the

"Americans' who are friendliest with our most dangerous foreign opponents.

He's an insane traitor. His boss is a traitor, and his party is the treason party.
