Doesn't seem like Pete understands how ridiculous it is to claim that it's scandalous not to confront the Russian Ambassador over Putin's covert action. The whole purpose for the call was to diplomatically try to keep the Russians from overreacting and escalating the tit for tat over Obama's expulsions and sanctions. CONFRONTING Kislyak, rather than diplomatically and rationally suggesting an even handed response as Flynn did, could well provoke the very escalation he was trying to avoid.
Flynn's call was not illegal or treasonous, nor even "scandalous." It was a good and proper call.
