WASHINGTON — Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has hired a new lawyer, a former federal prosecutor who has earned the praise of President Donald Trump and repeatedly denigrated the Russia investigation.
Flynn became a key cooperator for Mueller after he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations during the presidential transition period with the Russian ambassador to the United States. She confirmed in an email to The Associated Press on Thursday that she was Flynn's new lawyer. Asked about a subpoena for his records and testimony announced Thursday by the House intelligence committee, Powell said,"The General is continuing to cooperate with the government" but otherwise declined to comment.
At Flynn's December hearing, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan declared himself disgusted by Flynn and raised the question of whether his actions amounted to treason. He later backpedaled and said he didn't mean to suggest that they did.
the judge is going to love that
As long is going back to that same judge, This means nothing.

Obama didn't have to posture for his media machine they knew what was up and still defended him. They didn't want to be called out like fox was for informing it's viewers. maddow That thing🤣😂🤣. I’m reading the Mueller report now and there is a lot of evidence there with regards to a conspiracy. I think Mueller was getting to close and Barr shut him down and now Barr is going to begin the coverup!
