The enthusiastic Twitter direct messages that Flynn sent to Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida in April 2018 and February of this year were obtained by CNN and published on Friday.
Although there does not appear to be anything illegal about the messages, they could cause problems for Flynn at sentencing if a judge finds they suggest he wasn't contrite after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI.
On April 3, 2018, Flynn wrote to Gaetz: 'You stay on top of what you're doing. Your leadership is so vital for our country now. Keep the pressure on.'
