This was concealed from Congress and likely also concealed from Michael Flynn and his attorneys which is a problem.
Via Daily Caller:
The federal judge who recused himself from the Michael Flynn case is personal friends with Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who conducted the White House interview in which the former national security adviser has pleaded guilty to lying.
The friendship between Strzok and Rudolph Contreras, a judge on the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., is discussed in text messages the FBI agent exchanged with his mistress, Lisa Page.
The Justice Department redacted the references to Contreras in 384 pages of text messages provided to Congress. Staffers on the House Judiciary Committee read the underlying documents and have filled in some of the gaps. The unredacted versions of the texts were obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Now, two Republican members of the committee are questioning the DOJ’s handling of the text messages and also asking if Contreras’ recusal is tied to his friendship with Strzok.
