It would be interesting if this charge and guilty plea opens the door for Flynn to take action against the Obama Administration for invasion of privacy or unlawful wiretap. Flynn would definitely have standing now although being fired should have been enough.
Everything seems to have a plot twist in this drama. I really don’t see how Flynn can be much of a witness for Mueller going forward. Flynn’s credibility is pretty much ruined it would seem.
Talking heads on CNN have grim faces ... I expected to find them giddy - this isn’t what they were hoping for and leaves them wondering what’s next ...
Interesting that Wallace asked Pence that question about the lifting of sanctions and the escalation of sanctions as topics of conversation by Flynn with the Russians. No doubt, this information was leaked to the Press by Dem operatives and Mueller's people.
Two things I’ve read that may prove to be relevant:
1. Flynn’s plea may have at least in part involved dropping an investigation of his son, who most likely had little to do with the Trump campaign but more to do with other dealings:

2. Some say Flynn has had a bellyful of Obama for a long time and has a LOT that he wants to say about things. An honorable man would not hesitate to make a personal sacrifice (i.e. plead to this process charge) in order to have credibility to share other information.
Lastly - remember “fog of war” and the high probability that everything we think we “know” now will not all prove to be true in the final analysis. Take a breath, there’s nothing anyone here can do about any of this, just let it unfold and examine the outcome after things have cooled down.
And let’s just think about why this all started: a wiretap and unmasking of General Flynn...and who might be culpable for those acts.
