GOP Rep Says Flynn Report is Good News for Trump

GOP Rep Mark Meadows recently told Fox News that Mueller’s sentencing report on Michael Flynn is good news for Trump. Meadows points out that although it is heavily redacted there is no inference of collusion even though Flynn was involved in both the campaign and transition team.

According to The Hill:

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) is characterizing special counsel Robert Mueller’s sentencing report on former national security adviser Michael Flynn as “good news for President Trump” because “there is no mention of collusion.”

“I have looked at this report and, yes, everybody is going to focus on what has been redacted,” the conservative lawmaker told Sean Hannity on Fox News late Tuesday. “Let’s look at what is not in there. There is no suggestion that Michael Flynn had anything to do with collusion. He was with the transition team. He was part of the campaign. And, yet, there is no mention of collusion.”

“I think it’s good news for President Trump tonight that this is what has come down to,” Meadows said. “Even though they said he substantially cooperated, I think he substantially cooperated to say that there was no collusion and we can look at it with that in mind.”

The perspective came hours after Mueller said Flynn should not be imprisoned, citing his “substantial assistance” in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, including possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

Flynn, who also served in the Obama Administration faces between zero and six months in prison based on his sentencing guidelines.
