I am no expert, but someone with nine DUIs is someone who makes bad decisions.

I am also told Matt has a family who gets him out of things. Just rumors.

He hides behind his public image of piss and vinegar. Typical R move: be disagreeable and self righteous to keep your foes from coming after you. Project your crimes onto others. tRump does the same thing.

I'm surprised he hasn't killed anyone yet. He probably will one day.

Stop working with Flynn and throw his ass in jail. He's a traitor.

Washington (CNN)While he was cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn contacted at least one member of Congress who was publicly criticizing the special counsel probe, according to messages obtained by CNN.
Flynn sent Twitter direct messages to Rep. Matt Gaetz, encouraging the Florida Republican to "keep the pressure on." It's not clear if Flynn sent additional messages to other lawmakers.
"You stay on top of what you're doing. Your leadership is so vital for our country now. Keep the pressure on," Flynn wrote in an April 2018 message to Gaetz, which was obtained by CNN.
On the evening Flynn sent the message to Gaetz, the lawmaker had appeared on Fox Business' "Lou Dobbs Tonight," where he criticized the Mueller investigation.
"We've got to play a far stronger role in exposing the hypocrisy at the Department of Justice," Gaetz said in the April 3, 2018, appearance. "With no evidence of collusion, with no evidence of any crime whatsoever, they unleashed Bob Mueller to go investigate things that happened before Donald Trump was even contemplating running for president."
That same hour, Flynn sent Gaetz the direct message.
