Part of the reason I posted this is that I am confused, lol. There are fully redacted emails in here that are really blocking the complete picture from forming.
BUT the tl;dr I can gather is that these emails, collected in the lead up to Trump’s first inauguration, show that Obama’s team—including Susan Rice—were meeting about Russia and trying to prop Trump up as being compromised by the Russians in December 2019. Flynn appears to have reminded them that they shouldn’t have any US officials meeting with Russian Ambassadors before the transition. There’s a direct reference to NSA needing to be looped in so protocol is followed. And that, if NATO ambassadors aren’t getting meetings, surely Russians shouldn’t be, either.
It kind of looks like this is what set Flynn up to be the fall guy—he saw their emails plotting to paint a Russian interference picture, called them out on it, and suddenly was a liability that needed to be dealt with.
OP can you elaborate? What are you seeing here and what are the implications?

But I may be wrong.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Next time would you include a comment like that in your post, to help get the discussion going?
I will try to! I can only post on mobile so it is difficult to do so
Maybe this is why Flynn is still standing stage left, waiting for his part?
