The Post reports:
Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III on Tuesday recommended that former national security adviser Michael Flynn serve no prison time, citing his “substantial assistance” with several ongoing investigations, according to a new court filing.
Tuesday’s filing is heavily redacted, continuing to shroud in secrecy the details of what Flynn told Mueller’s team about his interactions with [President] Trump and other top officials.
But the document noted that Flynn has assisted the special counsel with its “investigation concerning links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign.”
You don’t have to be a lawyer to know that a witness does not meet with federal prosecutors 19 times for nothing. Flynn’s “substantial assistance” with investigations into communications with Russia and the transition team with the approval of a high-level official (Jared Kushner, perhaps?) goes to the heart of a possible “collusion” -- call it conspiracy -- case. Former federal prosecutor Joyce White Vance observes: “Mueller says Flynn provided substantial assistance, which is a term of art for federal prosecutors. It often means assistance that makes it possible for prosecutors to make cases on other defendants. ... His assistance looks like it’s centered on the core charge Mueller was given — to determine whether there was a conspiracy between Russia and anyone on the campaign, in an effort to influence the 2016 election.”

You seem so sure of this, but recent history of America's permanent bureaucracy and deep state tells me to be very skeptical there will be any diminishment or shaming, much less destruction of the deep state.
She’s so ugly..
(How ugly is she?)
She’s so ugly she puts a gorilla’s face on her online dating profile!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I bet she was something before electricity.
She looks like The Joker!!!
You can always tell a WAPO article as soon as you read the headline.
I think they believe they can get under his skin.
I believe it’s quite the opposite.
Utter horses**t.
Exactly the opposite. Flynn is and will increasingly be seen as the paradigm of innocent folks whose lives Mueller has destroyed.
But Jennifer Prubineface will have a job writing crap at the WaPo.
“”This is the deep state media spin on the Mueller Flynn case.””
I agree.
Here is my theory as to how the Mueller investigation will play out.
A few months ago Trump threatened to release the FISA and other documents that show how the FBI/DOJ engaged in criminal activity.
Trump backed off his threat, but he sent the message to Mueller and the FBI/DOJ that he has the goods on them and they have only one option.
Mueller and the FBI/DOJ can only issue some meaningless indictments against people related to Trump.
Anything more than meaningless indictments from Mueller, Trump will release the documents implicating the FBI/DOJ in their criminal activity to thwart an election.
By May 2019 the whole Mueller investigation will no longer be news and Trump can claim in his 2020 election speeches that he was correct all along.
I am more than sure. The paradigm has changed dramatically. Invincibility is a myth and the deep state is falling like the Berlin Wall has.
Smash her face is some dough and make gorilla cookies.
“If they had anything on President Trump, it would have been leaked by now. Everything else has been leaked.
They’ve got Trump now! (For the 63rd time)
Trump keeps Mueller up at night looking under his bed and cautiously checking his bedroom closet.
BOO!

Contemplate this! The recent history with Trump getting elected has blown your theory out of the water. If what you stated is true Hillary would be president.
Michael Flynn tops the list of Trump’s worries
:-D
Jennifer Rubin saying “X” confirms that “-X” is true.
Pardon, then hire as expert.
More Deep State deception. Jennifer Rubin knows full well they didn’t have anything on General Flynn nor do they have anything on Manafort, the President and his kids. It’s all a big fraud, but Rubin is following orders to continue the attack on Trump!
That is only one part of Mueller’s problems which you have correctly stated. Things are coming at him from several directions now and his position is rapidly becoming untenable.
