At the time Snowden defected to Russia, Flynn had this to say...
Quote:
Snowden’s disclosures have caused grave damage to our national security. The greatest cost of his disclosures will be the cost in human lives on tomorrow’s battlefield or in someplace where we will put our military forces…when we ask them to go into harm’s way.

Then Flynn jets to Moscow and sits next to Putin celebrating the 10th anniversary of the RT (Russia Today) propaganda machine. The dinner gala was posted on the president of Russia’s website along with photographs of the affair. Moscow is obviously proud of what it has accomplished with the cooperation of foreigners who appear on the channel and lend it credibility. The participation of a former chief of the US Defense Intelligence Agency at the event was a major propaganda coup for RT and the Kremlin. Video and photos of his participation will help the Russians in their ongoing propaganda campaign to depict the state-funded RT/Sputnik news entities as simply respectable sources of alternative news and opinion that offers different views.
