Flynn bombshell obstruction recording compared to Trump's 'Access Hollywood' tape by ex-prosecutor: 'It'll be a big deal'

On Thursday, former federal prosecutor Jack Weiss told CNN's Erin Burnett that the alleged taped recordings of President Donald Trump's allies in the administration and Congress trying to get in contact with former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn during his cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller could be a "big deal."

"What's really significant here is that there are multiple reachouts to Flynn from, according to this memo, both the administration and people connected to Congress," said Weiss. "There are multiple individuals. And some are outreaches to Flynn, some to his lawyers. So I suspect Congress is going to subpoena Flynn. He is going to have to testify and tell us — and name names, for the very first time."

"And it also means there, are at least — there are tapes," added Burnett.

"Yeah, tapes is something the case has lacked," said Weiss. "It's always been words on a page. Remember the impact of 'Access Hollywood'? Just the tactile — that impact of seeing someone, listening to someone. If we get a live tape, I think it'll be a big deal."
