Michael Flynn, who served as President Trump’s national security adviser for just 24 days before being cut loose, may be the key figure to unraveling the entire Russia scandal. If that’s true, the president just got some very, very bad news in the form of a New York Times report: We should be clear that this news is not definitive proof that Flynn is cooperating with Mueller. It may mean only that he is in the process of negotiating a deal to avoid prosecution, and that deal might or might not involve giving information on other figures in the investigation. But if Flynn is indeed cooperating, Trump is in big trouble. That’s because if Flynn is cooperating, it can only be because he has information to offer Mueller on someone more important than himself. That’s how it works. And who is more important than Flynn? Only a very small number of people. Among those implicated in this whole affair, that group may consist of Jared Kushner and Trump, and that’s about it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/11/24/michael-flynn-is-the-key-to-the-russia-scandal-and-he-may-have-just-flipped-on-trump/?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-d%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.4f10c8aa6ea9 |

I am pleased to be able to offer you some consolatory diversion in this otherwise gloomy autumn of Trump's collapse. I know you have pinned your hopes for a greater America on your champion and I can easily imagine how sorrowful it must be to observe his complete failure as President. His irrepressible loquacity, supported by the inept subordinates whose felonious conduct has become clear for all to see, has pushed Trump to the edge of a precipice from which there is no retreat. You have my sympathies. |

Your faith in your leader is touching. I'll save this post along with the other for the OPs I will be putting up after he is gone. Up here we have a certain tolerance for ladies of a certain age who mumble wild accusations and name calling. Middle age has its casualties and old age is a shipwreck. |

Deflection, denial, counter-accusations, invective, all these provide the Trumpies with their protective exoskeleton as they cling to the fading hope of rescue from their stagnant and insecure existence. Their faith in Trump is unshakable because it is all they've got. There is no wall. There are no new jobs coming back from China, non-whites and women continue their upward march to equality while the embittered left-behinds cling to the fantasy that some thrice-married, crooked Manhattan billionaire is going to pull them up to higher status and a better standard of living. When you are holding the map upside-down, every new direction you take only makes it worse. Like their leader, they can't admit they made a mistake, so all they can do is fantasize that somehow Trump will squash Mrs. Clinton, allowing them to pay their bills and perhaps even get a new suit. Very sad |

Flynn wishes to save his son from decades in federal prison, as would any caring father who sold his uniform to the highest bidders. |

So far things are going pretty much as predicted. Flynn may not have flipped on Trump, but his lawyers no longer sharing information with White House lawyers certainly isn't indicative that he hasn't. I figure by the end of December or the beginning of January, we'll know more one way, or the other. |

^^^^This is what you get when you predict HRC as the winner a year out and your shrill voice only gets louder as that prediction turns to ashes in your mouth. Your tears are delicious. |

I thought HRC was the worst possible candidate the Democrats could have fielded, and I said so. Repeatedly. At length. And had people like Two AM and Cautionary Tales telling me to either sthu or that I had to throw my support behind HRC because "Trump". I called BS. I thought there was a good chance that HRC was going to lose it, by the numbers. Because she's a horrible campaigner, she has 30 years of Republicans dirt smeared all over her, and she has done more than a few things to shoot herself in the foot because she is apparently just that freaking arrogant. Towards the end I thought she was going to squeak it out but it was going to be damn close. Turns out I was right about it being a squeaker, but wrong about who was going to be doing the squeaking. HRC was never my choice. I didn't vote for her. And frankly, I don't particularly like the lady. I do think a lot of the "scandals" surrounding her are pure Republican BS, however, because if she were half as devious and conniving as Republicans clam she is, she would have never had lost the primary to Obama, let alone lost the election to Trump. |

No, I don't think we're going to be waiting that long. I honestly believe that Mueller is competent enough, and not driven by ideological animus like Ken Starr was, that by the middle of next year the list of primary suspects will be some combination of cleared or prosecuted. |

Has anyone stopped to think about this? Flynn's lost all credibility....he got caught out and dismissed....He lied. If it goes south for Flynn and/or his son....who's the one who could provide a pardon?....

Has anyone stopped to think about the fact there's always a paper trail, bank account numbers, eyewitnesses, recorded conversations, e-mails, travel documents associated with these tales of mystery and subterfuge. Not to mention, the one who could provide a pardon thinks Flynn is as innocent as the morning dew. Lock Them Up! |

Flynn's done....he's been caught out....no doubt. I believe the only reason he wasn't the first to be indicted was the legal standing of the FISA warrant that exposed him to investigation. But to use him for evidence would be doubtful....due to his record of telling lies. |

Flynn's likely looking for a plea deal, which would be total immunity for his son and partial immunity for himself, in exchange for evidence higher-ups were involved in all things Russia. I'm not sure Mueller will play-ball with Flynn unless he can finger Trump & others - lots of others. Flynn may be asking for too much protection for himself and Jr. Right now, it's less than 50-50 Flynn can even work a deal with Mueller, most certainly Mueller would love Flynn's testimony but at what price? |
