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.

Manafort added nothing toward charges against Trump and that’s all that matters.
>I wonder how far a conspiracy might go? For instance, could Mueller make a deal with Flynn for immunity in exchange for totally constructed and false testimony to implicate Trump. That testimony would then be backed up with false documentation created by Mueller’s team of win at any cost attorneys?
They’ll go after Trump’s kids first to see if it’s safe to do so. Flynn is quite desperate, they’re threatening with locking up his son for life so he’ll do pretty much anything.
One of the oldest laws of civilization is you can’t punish the children for the crimes of the parents. That law is now dead.
You can’t say that at all unless you are part of Mueller’a team.
For example, while you were claiming nothing was going on Papadapolous had been arrested and was likely wearing a wire
No one knew this until October
Mueller is rolling up. It’s what Weissman does.
THe people that Manafort has dealt with are so nasty he is probably just trying to stay alive...like his buddy the US is trying to extradite. He has made it a point to state that he is not cooperating so Semion gets the message.
To claim Manafort hasnt added anything is idiotic.
You just dont know. He is looking at serious charges. But flipping could cause him to end up dead.
They went after Manafort’s kid and husband.
People laughed at me when I brought up the Hoffman saga.
Good chance husband is cooperating. IIRC, raid happened after interview with son in law..who is an ex at this point.
THey should and probably are looking very closely at all mortgage companies..including the one involved in the scheme with the children.
>People laughed at me when I brought up the Hoffman saga.
What’s the Hoffman saga?
Its a long story.
Real Estate shenanigans that ensnared Dustin Hoffman as victim.
Now in bankruptcy. He scored somewhat of a victory
btw, money laundering can happen through mortgage companies...and lawsuits.
Not saying Hoffman was money laundering..saying others may have been that were involved on the other side of the transaction
Sign that Flynn may be about to flip...
They could nail him on obstruction ..for example
Sorry. I don’t believe one word you post.
And, what happened to the emails of Dustin Hoffman’s daughter? lol.
You’re worse than chicken little.
It’s possible
The ole’not the crime but the cover up saying
It isn’t Dustin Hoffman’s daughter.
It is Manafort’s daughters hacked texts
You don’t have to believe me.
The Dustin Hoffman saga is a matter of court record
Btw, i was right about Manafort. Going to apologize to me. I seem to remember you bashing me when I talked about Manafort and money laundering.
I laughed my a$$ off when you brought up the emails of Dustin Hoffman’s daughter.
Personally, I think you just like to hear yourself talk.
I wouldn’t take Ty Cobb’s word for it that it will end by January. At least not unless I heard that Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig agree with him.
But, hey, thanks for the laughs.
Again, they aren’t emails of Dustin Hoffmans daughter. They are the texts of Manafort’s daughter...that describe criminal activities and they way he communicated...
It also talked about the Dustin Hoffman Ponzi (victim) Scheme...
This is all wishful thinking by the MSM
It's going to turn out to be nothing
This Mueller mess is all his fault! & when this is all over TRUMP needs to FIRE Rosenstein!!
Sorry but I think it is more of a game of misdirection. Whether Mueller is going after Trump or he is Trump's guy, Flynn is for show. Flynn has the dirt on everyone in Washington DC and afar.....
If Flynn was in trouble it would not be Trump going down but everyone going down.....for things that would destroy DC.
Papadapolous was turned into Mueller by Trump. If anyone in the Trump White House talked to Papadapolous after he was turned in they have an IQ of a water buffalo and have no place near Trump. Papadapolous went back to Fusion GPS with that wire from what I have read.
You are also wrong the nobody knew Papadapolous had been taken down....some anonymous poster on 4chan predicted his arrest 2 days before it happened, calling him the Greek.
Manafort was also a Fusion GPS guy and a Podesta plant, I think it more likely it is not Trump he has turned on but it is Trump he is hoping for a pardon from in exchange for information. Granted all speculation on my part but I would hold on and see before panicking.
