I've been waiting for this to come back into the news...

The sentencing memo that special counsel Robert Mueller filed Monday for Michael Flynn marked the first time in public filings that Mueller referenced a U.S.-based Turkish cleric who was the target of a kidnapping plot that the former National Security Advisor allegedly discussed with Turkish officials in 2016.

“The defendant’s false statements impeded the ability of the public to learn about the Republic of Turkey’s efforts to influence public opinion about the failed coup, including its efforts to effectuate the removal of a person legally residing in the United States,” Mueller’s filing said.

On a side note, guess who was also at that meeting? Everyone's favorite obstructionist Devin Nunes.

Also interesting to me is where Flynn chose to publish...The Hill, everyone's favorite right wing disinformation source.
