Total BS. Counsel to counsel discussions. Flynn had a lawyer and he could talk to whoever his client expressly or by implication from his retainer allowed him to do. The fact it was through counsel made it even more appropriate. CNN sh#t meter on high.
They were under a joint defense agreement that Flynns team did not formally pull out of until he reached a deal with Mueller.
Typical of the media. They rely on ignorance of something and them shoot their drive by bullets. By the time this gets to people debunking if, they are on to the next fake hit piece.
