      New: KT McFarland, the former deputy nat sec adviser, has revised her statement to investigators about a key event in the Russia probe after her initial claim was contradicted by the guilty plea of Michael Flynn. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/former-top-white-house-official-revises-statement-to-special-counsel-about-flynns-calls-with-russian-ambassador/2018/09/21/77bb8a7e-bb50-11e8-bdc0-90f81cc58c5d_story.html … by me and @DevlinBarrett

      McFarland now says Flynn may have been referring to sanctions when they spoke in late Dec. 2016 after Flynn’s calls with Russia’s ambassador. But this summer, McFarland denied to the FBI ever talking to Flynn about any discussion of sanctions between him and the ambassador.

      Can you clarify? Your story says her interview was Summer 2017, and that her clarification was shortly after Flynn plea, which makes more sense.

      Yes. First FBI interview in summer 2017. Then Flynn pleads Dec. 2017. FBI talks to McFarland again after that and she revises earlier statement.

      TY. I expect other people to be "clarifying" their testimony in wake of Manafort plea. But it seemed clear at the time she had clear this up.

          God, that 'clarification' is baloney though. She was lying through her teeth.

          Yes. She was. And that's probably true of about 30 Mueller witnesses, and they've probably slowly cleaned up their testimony.

          Are we to assume they let her skate in return for full cooperation?

          No. She just needed to clean up her lies.

          Funny how "I don't recall" morphs to "Gee, now that you mention it, I do recall" when backed into a corner by other people's testimony.
