Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team is investigating a meeting between President Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), who has expressed pro-Russia views on a number of policies, according to NBC News.

Mueller's team is reportedly looking at emails sent from Flynn's lobbying group to Rohrabacher thanking the congressman for his role in the meeting.

NBC reports the meeting between Flynn and the congressman took place in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 20, 2016, while Flynn was working as an adviser to the Trump campaign. The meeting was reportedly organized by Flynn's lobbying group the Flynn Intel Group, and was also attended by Flynn's son Michael G. Flynn, as well as his business partners Bijan Kian and Brian McCauley. 

Rohrabacher has shown sympathetic views toward Moscow in the past. It was revealed in October that the congressman even met with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya two months after she met with Donald Trump Jr. in June of 2016.

3. And please remember when Rep. McCarthy said Putin pays Trump and Rohrabacher and then how ...

.... Paul Ryan told the republicans to keep this talk "in the family."

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

Some of the lawmakers laughed at McCarthy’s comment. Then McCarthy quickly added: “Swear to God.”

Ryan instructed his Republican lieutenants to keep the conversation private, saying: “No leaks. . . . This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

4. Yup! Traitor Rbachr is so tied to Russia & its not a secret.

Bob Mueller, "Drain That Swamp!!"

I am so happy to hear this.

15. This

[meow2u3]

18. You forgot to mention an international organized crime syndicate

The Russian mob has reached the top levels of the White House. I have little doubt it will be proven.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

24. I have said GOP needs to be RICO'd for over a decade...

... I am glad others are finally noticing.

[SWBTATTReg]

34. RICO definitely applies here to this...too many people involved in coverups, illegal acts, etc.

[Alice11111]

33. Unbelievable, but true. I'm not sure Mueller can overcome

It. They are already on a mission to discredit him. He has strong shoulders, and hopefully body guards.

[Alice11111]

37. Exactly. If they would take Ryan down w her. Howdy Gowdy

has been "exposed " for what he is. $150k of tax payers money for his slimy actions. Maybe Trump is draining the swamp after all, in an ironic twist.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. He needs to look at Nunes too. nt

[mopinko]

12. +1

[NastyRiffraff]

13. Oh yes

Definitely. But he probably is.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. Boom!

[Alice11111]

38. Good. Thx.I always think of him jumping in and out of ubers

to sneak his way into the Whitehouse to conspire w Dotard.

[Stuart G]

7. k and r...nt

[flying_wahini]

8. Oh Good! Maybe this will shut their pie holes for a while.

If I was the praying type, I would pray for Mueller. Hope Mueller gets to continue this but wouldn't surprise me if the Repugs decide now would be a good time to get him out of office and off their trail.

[Alice11111]

39. I am the type who prays on airplanes in rough weather, but

maybe this situation is akin to that.

[Irish_Dem]

9. The net widens. nt

[pnwmom]

10. Bijan Kian and Brian McCauley. Two names we'll probably be hearing more about.

They are business partners of Flynn who attended the questionable meeting.

[Renew Deal]

11. Rohrabacher is "Putins Congressman"

He's got loyalty issues.

[Leghorn21]

14. Bill Browder wonders:

[SergeStorms]

29. If Rohrabacher is a "patriot"....

I'm a Republican. I can say with the utmost authority that I AM NOT a Republican, so up your's Rohrabacher!

[Marthe48]

22. You have to wonder how bad it is

The lid is about to blow off and yet, they do not turn against Mother Russia, they must be dragged from putin embrace.

[SergeStorms]

30. Admitting to it....

would be self-incriminating. Republicans are obviously stupid, but not yet that stupid.

[Alice11111]

41. Most are stupid, but the top brass are often smart &greedy

[AllaN01Bear]

23. and these were the same people that brought us the red scare in the 1950s

hem

[Marthe48]

32. I wondered if this is Russia's revenge for that

I could see a twisty path in my head when I thought of it.

[gademocrat7]

26. The nest of vipers infesting our country is appalling.

What a traitorous lot the GOP are.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

27. Sweet Indictment

31. Old Randy has....

[Bradical79]

35. When I first read about Rohrabacher, I was stunned

I was very surprised someone like that hadn't been investigated years ago.

[SunSeeker]

36. They need to be knocking on Devin Nunes' door too. nt

[Alice11111]

42. I think he will eventually go down, even if he has to resign

or not run again. He is so obviously involved over his ignorant head.
