Serious error? He intentionally made a statement that he knew or should have known was factually wrong. In other words, by Robert Mueller’s own legal interpretation: A lie.

He said Trump, the *candidate*, had instructed Flynn to contact the Russians.
In fact, it was Trump, the *President-Elect*, who had told Flynn to contact the Russians.
President-elects routinely have their staffs contact important foreign representatives, as part of their transition activities, whereas candidates are not to do such activities.
Ross told an out-and-out lie, knew better, and got caught. My money is on him not returning, after the four weeks. They’ll pay him to just quietly vanish into retirement.

Actually, candidates/campaigns are not barred from talking with foreign officials. The inference was that Flynn would admit to colluding with the Russians to cheat at the election, at Trump’s direction.
Alas, it was not to be.

ABC Editorial Standards? That bastard #BrianRoss needs to be drawn and quartered in the town square for the tangible losses he caused courtesy of the lies he was knowingly and willfully peddling.
