The Flynn-Kislyak calls were recorded by U.S. intelligence agencies. This is the "evidence" that Barr has suppressed. There is only one reason it is being held from Congress and We The People.
Flynn’s lies and Barr's suppression of the evidence protected Trump and the Trump administration.
Here is what happened:
The sanctions were the catalyst for hurried communications between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. The Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak, reached out to Flynn on December 28. Flynn called Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago to discuss the new sanctions with “a senior official” of the Trump transition team “who was with other senior members of the Presidential Transition Team. On December 29, he
spoke multiple times with Kislyak. In the first call, Flynn “requested that Russia not escalate the situation and only respond to the U.S. Sanctions in a reciprocal manner,” the plea agreement said. (Hint: Sure looks like evidence.} Kislyak agreed that Russia would “moderate its response to those sanctions” as a result of his request, according to the U.S. special counsel’s office.
On December 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would not respond to the sanctions. That same day, Trump
tweeted his thanks: “Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!” More calls followed between Flynn and Kislyak.
But, when interviewed by the FBI on Jan. 24, Flynn denied making such a request and could not recall if Kislyak agreed to his request.
The former White House aide also acknowledged that he made “false statements and omissions” on documents filed with the Justice Department regarding payments that his company, the Flynn Intel Group Inc., received for lobbying work that principally benefited the government of Turkey, according to the plea agreement. Flynn
retroactively filed foreign lobbying reports on March 7 for work that he did during the presidential campaign in 2016.
At first, Trump’s team denied that anything untoward had occurred. On January 15, 2017, Vice President–elect Mike Pence appeared on CBS’s
Face the Nation to assure the country that Flynn and Kislyak had not discussed the Obama sanctions. “He had sent a text to the Russian ambassador to express not only Christmas wishes but sympathy for the loss of life in the airplane crash that took place,” Pence said, referring to a December 25, 2016, accident that had killed 92 people. “It was strictly coincidental that they had a conversation. They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States’ decision to expel diplomats or impose censure against Russia.”
Pence’s statement was not true. Flynn lied to the FBI about the calls. Back in 2017, Pence
insisted that Flynn had lied to him too.
Early in the Trump presidency, many congressional Republicans still upheld the traditional view: Putin should not be trusted, and the integrity of U.S. elections should be safeguarded.
Today, some of those same Republicans are now pointing to the decision to drop charges against Flynn as vindication. But vindication is exactly what this is not. Barr's attempt to skewer the court case with this last second DOJ flip-flop does not prove that Flynn was innocent of wrongdoing. This thinly veiled political move by Barr does not convert Flynn’s lies into truth. Flynn’s release by Barr only
strengthens the suspicion that back in December 2016, Flynn acted with Trump’s approval. Barr's attempt only strengthens the suspicion that Flynn and Kislyak were furthering a corrupt arrangement between Trump and Putin. It only strengthens the suspicion that the corrupt arrangement continues to this day.
Release the rest of the evidence...SCOTUS.
