Michael Flynn told Mueller people connected to Trump admin or Congress attempted to influence him

Updated 11:39 AM ET, Fri May 17, 2019

Washington (CNN)Michael Flynn told special counsel Robert Mueller that people connected to the Trump administration or Congress had contacted him, potentially attempting to influence his willingness to help prosecutors, newly unsealed court records show.

Flynn, President Donald Trump's one-time national security adviser, gave Mueller a voicemail recording of one of the conversations. A federal judge has ordered that the voicemail's transcript, transcripts of Flynn's calls with Russian officials and potentially redacted parts of the Mueller report related to Flynn be made public, setting up the likelihood that even more details will be made public in the coming weeks.

The communications, from "persons connected to the Administration or Congress," Mueller wrote, "could have affected both (Flynn's) willingness to cooperate and the completeness of that cooperation."

"In some of those instances, the (Special Counsel's Office) was unaware of the outreach until being alerted to it" by Flynn, the newly unsealed court record from the Justice Department said.

I've been also wondering what all is behind Nunes JOINING Schiff in seeking full unredacted Muller report inclusive of underlying evidence.

To me this is NOT bipartisanship - it's plain and simple trying to find out how much is known so Nunes can play CYA to the max, and get help from all the other yet-unindicted co-conspirators!

Just IMHO.

so many dirty characters to choose from, it's always hard to figure which compromised individual has performed which dirty deed.
