https://www.wsj.com/articles/special-counsel-examines-possible-role-flynn-played-in-seeking-clinton-emails-from-hackers-1503694304WASHINGTONSpecial counsel Robert Mueller is examining what role, if any, former national security adviser Mike Flynn may have played in a private effort to obtain Hillary Clintons emails from Russian hackers, according to people familiar with the matter.
The effort to seek out hackers who were believed to have stolen Mrs. Clintons emails, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, was led by a longtime Republican activist, Peter W. Smith. In correspondence and conversations with his colleagues, Mr. Smith portrayed Mr. Flynn as an ally in those efforts and implied that other senior Trump campaign officials were coordinating with him, which they have denied. He also named Mr. Flynns consulting firm and his son in the correspondence and conversations.
The special counsel is investigating potential coordination between Donald Trumps presidential campaign and Russia in the 2016 election.

Investigators working for Mr. Mueller have been conducting interviews and collecting information as they seek to determine whether Mr. Flynn was involved in Mr. Smiths effort, and if his son, Michael G. Flynn, and the consulting firm Flynn Intel Group had a role, the people said. At the time Mr. Smith was trying to find the emails, Mr. Flynn was a senior adviser to the Trump campaign and had been on a short list of potential vice presidential candidates.
A lawyer for Mr. Flynn and a lawyer for his son declined to comment. Mr. Flynns firm has been dissolved.

Boom goes the baby cannon.

right wing nuts believed.
On another note... that baby cannon looks like it could used as a lethal weapon. Where do you purchase one?

He has become somewhat of a legend on twitter and beyond twitter with his baby cannons firing off when there is trump/russia news.
