Anonymous Coward User ID: 71597966 United States 10/30/2017 12:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Michael Flynn has cut a deal against Donald Trump Manafort was arrested this morning on a dozen different charges. One of them is “Conspiracy against the United States” – which is every bit as ugly as it sounds. He was also charged with failure to register as a foreign agent. That’s the exact same crime Michael Flynn admitted to when he retroactively registered as a foreign agent after he’d gotten caught. We know Special Counsel Robert Mueller has had a grand jury against Flynn for some time in Virginia. Mueller is intentionally making an example of Manafort, making sure his arrest is plastered all over the TV news in the most humiliating way possible. So where is Flynn’s big spectacle of an arrest? Why isn’t he being made an example of as well?
It’s entirely possible that Michael Flynn will be arrested before the day is over, as the dual arrests of Manafort and Rick Gates – along with today’s reveal of the George Papadopoulos plea deal – have made clear that Mueller is going all-in today. But even if Flynn does quietly get arrested today, he’ll have been spared the humiliation of having been the prominent first arrest out of the gate. There’s really only one reason for Mueller to give Flynn that kind of courtesy. If Michael Flynn has cut a deal to flip on Donald Trump, he’ll still be indicted, charged, arrested, and required to plead guilty, as part of the carrying out of that deal. It’s notable that on this day, one of Donald Trump’s two key foreign agents got popped before the cameras for all to see, while the other one seems to be getting the kid gloves. Throw in Trump’s decision not to help Flynn with his legal fees, and it sounds like even the ever-oblivious Trump knows Flynn has cut a deal against him.
Why would the ever-defiant Flynn cut a deal?
Simple: to keep his son Michael Flynn Jr out of prison. |

Quoting: Mach1 Hey, the OP is in a dream, it would be rude to wake him up just to point out that the investigation is now in the Podesta portion of the investigation. Or to point out that the crimes indicated in the indictment all concern either that time period or his subsequent lying about it just prior to being fired for his lies by the president. The President is not the perp remember , in this case he is one of the victims of said crime. Triton |
