My guess is they already tried to flip him on Trump and didn’t get anything, now maybe trying to flip him on Podesta. There may be something on Flynn, he filed FARA retroactively after he got “caught” so there’s a big web to look at..
Its a possibility. He dealt with people that kill entire families. Any hint that he is flipping on anything could cause him problems
That said...an indictment does NOT mean the person did not flip.
