The lawyer for President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn met Monday morning with members of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, the latest indication that both sides are discussing a possible plea deal, ABC News has learned.
Trump’s legal team confirmed late last week that Flynn’s attorney Robert Kelner alerted them that he could no longer engage in privileged discussions about defense strategy in the case, a sign Flynn is preparing to negotiate with prosecutors over a deal that could include Flynn’s testimony against the president or senior White House officials.
That process would typically include a series of off-the-record discussions in which prosecutors lay out in detail for Flynn and his lawyers the fruits of their investigation into his activities. Prosecutors would also provide Flynn an opportunity to offer what’s called a proffer, detailing what information, if any, he has that could implicate others in wrongdoing.
When reached Monday, Kelner declined to comment on the nature of his morning visit to Mueller’s offices in Washington, D.C.

Funny how hildabeast legal counsels all got to set in on her aides FBI “interviews” along with their legal teams & they all were granted immunity
This doesnt end with flynn.
they are rolling up..like going after an Enron wife for tax evasion to get to the husband...who then flipped
Here we go again. Chicken Little squawks anew!
How does asking Ttump for a favor “open up a floodgate,” particularly when it comes out that Trump replied with a big fat “No!”
Just sit back and watch.
Ask a lawyer how this could open up the obstruction charge
I expect an apology from you for all the bashing you did to me when this is over
Well, the answer is yes, the “special” counsel and his team could manufacture a case out of nothing and get Flynn to lie to support it. The question is, what is “it?” Flynn was not on the Trump team very long, so what could he say and still maintain at least the veneer of credibility? I still don’t know what law or laws Trump is supposed to have broken.
Just saw where Preet brought up that flynn could be the final piece in the obstruction puzzle...just as I said...
But so could that first draft letter and mcghan interview
Its fact specific
They are clearly going for obstruction of justice with trump.
Dont know if they will get there. A lotof moving pieces...and evidence we arent privy to
to save his son, right?
In other words, you think that Trump colluded with the Russians after all?
Probably to save both of them
Something has changed..like flynn figured out he wasnt getting a pardon and/or the son got nailed
I did not say that at all.
They could nail him on obstruction ..for example
I expect you’ll be embarrassed how wrong you were.
She’s always thought that!
“A sign”...they say...means anything they want it to mean...
You mean like my months ago prediction on manafort and the money laundering..or they would try hard to flip people..both of which I was relentlessly slammed on..and turned out to be right
Mark this
It will not end by January as Ty Cobb claims and FLynn is not the end..
We will see if you have the character to apologize.
I doubt it
An absolute lie
Give me the post where I state that...in fact..you know very well I have repeatedly said this may never reach Trump
Jeb! said a while back that Trump would be gone by December.
He was Obama’s Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for two years. He was Trump’s National Security Adviser for three weeks.
The Bush/Clinton cabal is thankfully over...but remnants remain
Perhaps he has kidnapped people before under the Obama regime...or he know about kidnappings.
THere is a chance that one of the most infamous CIA cutouts was involved in the Galindez kidnapping.
It is probably something the US often does.
So perhaps the idea of kidnapping Gulen was not that far fetched of an idea to him.
