Blue State Blues: Journalists Don’t Ask Jake Sullivan About the Russia Hoax

Jake Sullivan is the White House National Security Advisor partly because he smeared Michael Flynn, the man who used to hold that job.

In 2017, Sullivan testified at the House Intelligence Committee that Flynn violated the Logan Act by speaking by phone with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. as the Trump administration prepared to take office. Sullivan speculated Flynn’s conversations may have been part of a “collusion” scheme.

Sullivan’s claims were a continuation of his effort to promote the “Russia collusion” hoax.

In October 2016, Sullivan — then Senior Policy Advisor for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign — issued a press statement citing a Slate.com article claiming that Trump had a computer server linking him with Russia-based Alfa Bank. Sullivan further urged “federal authorities” to “explore this direct connection between Trump and Russia.”

The Alfa Bank claims were false. But the “federal authorities” did investigate.
