I have to agree with our president here, always thought firing Flynn was a big mistake. The witch hunt against on of our great generals is embarrassing for this country and Mike Flynn should return to the White House. Glad to see they stayed in touch.
Source is 'several sources':
But Trump doesn’t just hope that Flynn will beat the rap. Several sources close to Flynn and to the administration tell The Daily Beast that Trump has expressed his hopes that a resolution of the FBI’s investigation in Flynn’s favor might allow Flynn to rejoin the White House in some capacity—a scenario some of Trump’s closest advisers in and outside the West Wing have assured him absolutely should not happen.
Those sources said Trump didn’t believe Flynn should be under investigation in the first place.
“Trump feels really, really, really, bad about firing him, and he genuinely thinks if the investigation is over Flynn can come back,” said one White House official.
One former FBI official and a second government official said Trump thought he owed Flynn for how things ended up and was determined to clear Flynn’s name and bring him back to the White House.
All of the officials spoke on the condition of anonymity so as to speak freely on sensitive matters. [...]
Those investigations were why Trump’s White House attorneys warned him repeatedly against communicating with Flynn after his firing,
as The Daily Beast reported last week. Apparently, the president didn’t listen to his own lawyers. The two have stayed in touch, according to a Yahoo News report Thursday,
confirmed by multiple White House and administration sources.
