Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. He said that initially. They later reversed themselves and flynn was indicted for making a false statement to an fbi agent. But as point of fact, judge, hes told them things that were not true and things that he should have known and recollected in realtime. Right. Maybe he did.
