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.”

One can understand why Flynn buckled under the KGB Special Prosecutor. Too bad he didn’t hold tight and that the public didn’t set up a go fund me account for his legal bills. As they in DC Flynn’s so called cooperation will prove to be a big “nothing burger”.
“Wow. What a mindreader! I am sure the President called her to compliment her tremendous insight. (Right after he finishes wiping.”
My thought as well. I share those sentiments.
Oy vey !
My eyes my eyes !
President Donald J. Trump does not worry. He causes worry in other people.
A grave injustice was done to General Flynn. He may or may not have redress for his grievances, and where does he go to regain his good reputation?
Yes, Trump got through. I attribute that to an act of God, Who may not have given up on the USA just yet.
Yet the Deep State, like cancer, has worked its way into many organs and corners of the American body.
We are far from eliminating that cancer.
Mueller wants everyone to think Flynn is a snitch
That’s good!
The useless dishonest washington PEST tops the list of civil societies’ worries.
Judging form the picture (Barf !), it was born thru the A-hole and hit a few polyps on the way out ...
Gawd !
We are going to wipe it out. We run deep too.
A classic case of lipstick on a pig.
“But you can see that they are saying that Flynn turned on Trump.”
Jennifer Rubin is a Deep State whore. She gets a bonus to write big lies for the Deep State as here.
Gen. Flynn was a victim and has nothing to give on Russia Collusion. He was a victim of an illegal leak from the Deep State when he acted in his capacity speaking to the Russian Ambassador AFTER the 2016 election.
I doubt if Trump is too concerned or worried about anything Flynn had to say. If Flynn had actually said anything the implicated Trump in some sort of sinister conspiracy, it would have already been leaked a long time ago.
“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.”
^^^^ THIS ^^^^
And what could he know-nothing.
If Jenny is going to hop in bed with Robert Mulehead, she shouldn’t be surprised when she contacts the same bodice crabs.
