While he was cooperating with the Mueller investigation, former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn contacted at least one member of Congress who was publicly criticizing the special counsel probe, according to messages obtained by CNN

Washington While he was cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn contacted at least one member of Congress who was publicly criticizing the special counsel probe, according to messages obtained by CNN.

Flynn sent Twitter direct messages to Rep. Matt Gaetz, encouraging the Florida Republican to"keep the pressure on." It's not clear if Flynn sent additional messages to other lawmakers. "You stay on top of what you're doing. Your leadership is so vital for our country now. Keep the pressure on," Flynn wrote in an April 2018 message to Gaetz, which was obtained by CNN.

Cnn sucks I have an idea for your poor ratings try reporting the news not making it up

With the wealth of information we have that clearly shows Trump's obvious corruption, how is it that he's still there?

DESPICABLE GOING AFTER AN INNOCENT MAN CNN and ALL extremist Dems are disgusting!

Nothing wrong with that. Everyone that's a normal American was criticizing that ridiculous investigation

So fucking what CNN

So? Nothing wrong with that, Fake News.

a crook never changes his spots especially a trump crook

RussiaInvestigation Walkaway WakeUpAMERICA

realstevemries Now talk about how the judge contras recused himself after Flynn plead guilty and Lisa page / peter strozak texted each other that they got their fisa judge

ZZZzzzz more fake news from CNN

And?

Never any proof just BS all the time from CNN.

I hope it’s Lindsey Graham

And that communication that's being put on blast makes him look like such a f****** teenager. 'Ur the best! Keep bullying!' picture picture picture lol 'this is so us!' keepingthemhonest letsgetafterit gothere realitycheck

The horror!!!!

Big question is...how did CNN get Direct Twitter messages?

CNN would flip out if Twitter released info to the public from their direct messages, but it’s perfectly fine if twit releases anyone they see as opposition. More “justice for me, but not for thee”. More & more people see thru ’s bullshit every day.

Fake news. Try again.

$10 he does zero jail time. Soon

Sometimes I think FakeNews repeats mundane facts in hopes that someone somewhere will find a reason to be outraged. What is the relevance of this? Who cares? What is CNN suggesting? LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Your point?

So what?

So we know who’s side you’re on. Keep digging.

Whole bunch of crooks ... this administration will go down in history as the biggest blight on our democracy ... EVER POTUS PressSec GOP SenateGOP HouseGOP

I'll guess it was Matt Gaetz or Nunes.

That isn’t a CRIME and no different than the CNN PANELS that publicly criticize Trump everyday. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS DOESN’T GIVE CNN THE RIGHT TO BE Hypocritical.

CNN acts like there weren't MILLIONS of people criticizing the Mueller probe. lol Stay thirsty you thirsty muddafuckahs.

You should just change your name to FNN

Wait! Someone in Congress had the audacity to criticize the coup attempt known as the special counsel probe? How dare they!

So

I want him locked up more then any of them. All these people get these cushy plea deals and what do we get? No charges for Trump and his crime family, a AG openly working for the President and silence from Mueller. Now THATS what I call BULLSHIT.

Americans don't know what to believe about all of this Russian stuff; Green Party candidate Jill Stein was at the same dinner Michael Flynn attended with Putin. This all stinks with smell of both democratic and republican malfeasance.

Looks like a message FROM Gaetz TO Flynn. It's the recipient name at the top of the screen, not the sender.

I heard he also talked to a Republican! He is guilty!

How did CNN obtain private messages? This seems like a violation of privacy? Which tech company gave up private information for political bias?

So? Is the man not in titled to his own opinion even though he's cooperating? No one said he had to agree with Mueller to cooperate.

That's not a crime. Mueller is a lying criminal and the people that worked for him are trash. The First Amendment trumps Mueller and his ego.

And? This isn't exactly shock and awe news... but what is, you aren't covering.

You'll notice Mueller is still unable to explain what lawful duty Flynn is supposed to have obstructed.

It's called the 1A

Flynn is corrupt. He is getting off easy.

That was the CNN contributor Brennan, soon in jail !

so is Mueller going to retract his statement about him 'fully cooperating'? Bring. Mueller. In.

Fake news spin.

Flynn contacted Matt Gaetz. Wow capital punishment crime.

So?

The many faced narcissist.

You people desparately need therapy. These messages were sent prior to Meullers prosecutors telling Judge Sullivan that they were not going to seek any prison time for Flynn because he was cooperating on several cases. If Meuller didnt care abt a Bald Eagle GIF, why should you?

That’s not a crime.

This is exactly how I felt when reading this article. As though 4 or 5 different people had written it and pieces it together without an edit. Also, you are missing the word ‘did’ in there somewhere.

And?

For a prominent news organization, you sure are looking like a bad break-up and its not a good look. BTW how'd you guys obtain twitter DMs?

Screwed!!!

So?

Wow CNN you really got the Breaking news this time. you only missed it by a full year! keep up the great work. Learn2Code

So what's the big deal?

LoL. As far as I know being critical of a prosecutor is not against the law. Yet, anyway.

So?

CheriJacobus CNN is fake news. They keep failing to bring real news. No wonder they are ranked like turds right now.

I think that's called protected speech under the constitution and it's not a crime

So what...? Was Michael Flynn under a gag order that prohibited any communication with Congress? If not, you're just trying to stir up sh$t over Constitutionally protected free speech. Go find some real new to report on.

Not. A. Crime.

mattgaetz conversing with traitor criminals....

At this point, what difference does it make? 🤷‍♀️

Lol, so? It's not a crime. It's not even a beach of ethics. You chards aer so thirsty for clicks and views. Just get some twitch thots already! 😅

CheriJacobus It says “at least,” so could’ve been multiple member of Congress...gaetz, nunes, McConnell, Johnson...

🔥This video on Donald Trump's golf course is going viral🔥 50,000 views in just 12 hours. No one's playing... Nothing made in the US. See the investigation now.

Care to cite even one statute indicating it is illegal to contact members of Congress? It doesn't matter if he was talking to Mueller, he was free on bail awaiting sentencing. You suck at this law stuff

WANT THE TRUTH about FLYNN? Watch this....

Who cares? Russia Russia Russia. Does CNN ever actually report news? No reporter's on staff.

CNN SUCKS!!

BretBaier pls cover this on your special report

It was RepMattGaetz !!! I'm sure LindseyGrahamSC was as well.

William Barr might be actually real Deep State . Hyping up the key points in the Mueller Report by redacting them, so when they finally get unredacted action has to be taken. What he's do is incriminating and also bringing more attention to those redacted portions.

Obstruction much?!? 👍🏻

Bla bla bla

Mug shot Matt has got his tit in a ringer.

CheriJacobus Get this info U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ...

Pardon Flynn!

No collusion no obstruction

CheriJacobus Sounds a lot like the midnight cow boy ... DevinNunes

Tick tock

Clue 🕵️‍♀️

joy31608 Gaetz?

Matt Gaetz is going to say he was drunk texting again.

Matt gaetz

Flynn was threatened and financially ruined by the investigation based on false information, and then used in the FISA warrant applications. He could very well have all charges dropped, as AG Barr is moving ahead with investigating the conspiracy to remove Trump.

I see SpyingDidOccur How did you obtain this private message

Nunes, more than likely.

Depending whom you detest the most it would be like winning the lottery

The Reporters who are sensationalizing this tidbit (of likely nothing) are the same reporters who are ignoring the blackmail-like tactics of the Special counsel to force Flynn into bankruptcy and cooperation by threatening his family.

That’s not what the other stations are reporting. Complete opposite.

Can you guys make up some more crap and drag it on for two more years please? losers

Ukraine democrats collusion investigation

That one Congressman Lindsey Graham or Jim Jordan?

Can Gaetz be in trouble for this ?

Muller probe was a fraud and cover up from the beginning. Your an idiot if you didn’t fight it. Hell I would have called it a witch hunt. Oops that’s what the president did and of course he was right.

Matt Gaetz is a bad boy, now Flynn may have to answer, again,to the Judge who will sentence him.

Hope the judge is aware.

Who cares.

Translation: The Republican party is participating in a cover-up of Donald Trump's impeachable offenses and using their power in corrupt ways to subvert the rule of law, intimidate witnesses and deliberately lie to the public.

Nobody cares

While he was cooperating with the Mueller game of clue, former orange man national security adviser Michael Flynn contacted at least one member of Congress who was publicly criticizing the special counsel probe, according to messages obtained by CNN

Either LindseyTheTraitor or DevinNunesIsAnIdiot

You realize that you pushed 2+ years of dud bombshell after dud bombshell on this topic? Maybe switch off what you're doing and try doing news.

Yes! Good time to bust out the Gaetz mug shot again!

House of corruption

mattgaetz .. how's your day going?

They're threatening everyone. Including Mueller. Get this administration in check! The major majority can't stand them!

So what?

And what's wrong with that?

Not news! Try again.

I vote for RepDevinNunes .

Time for the world to sanction America

Impeach

This sounds like a mystery that will never be solved right DevinNunes

Congress, Senate, House of representatives: BOUGHT AND PAID FOR $ AMERIKA!

Why would Flynn be so dumb? This is after The judge urged him to cooperate more.

Any news of Feinstein talking to iran?

And that was his right as a private citizen to do so.

Not only that, but he also spoke to his mailman's hair dresser's brother. Who voted for Trump. conspiracy

Matt away comes across as sleazy.

And now back to our feature 'It'll never stop' ……..

RepMattGaetz is the man! Thank you for helping northwest Florida.

Wait a minute. HE contacted Gaetz?

When the walls come tumblin' down When the walls come crumblin' crumblin' When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

and

So many fecklessly complicit traitors to choose from.

And......

And that's what Barr redacted? Seems super relevant to national security /s

Nunes has been a very bad boy, hasn't he?

He looks like a fire damaged GI Joe come to life...

Another nothing burger. Why not report on the attempted coup of the greatest president ever, Donald J. Trump?

Suprise? No

greatweet The book is yours! esl elt tesol tefl english inglés books amazon news

And the best part? Flynn hasn't been sentenced yet. 😂😂😂
