Another smear from #FakeNews. Flynn’s alledged misdeeds, like Manafort’s, have nothing to do with the Trump campaign.

A plea deal for what? How many times does one say they haven't done anything wrong. And this registering cr** and meeting crap....apparently if you're in the same room with "Mr. X", it's called a meeting.

Let it play out...and remember...it was Obama who gave him his security clearance.

Have you seen that guy who tweets a pic of a coke can and something else in the pic saying guess what this is and when it was made?

He has just tweeted it again about Kushner

I can’t figure out what the item is in the pic

Seems like he’s taking a plea deal.

Take a plea and get pardoned by DJT.

Checkmate.

this is high stakes world series of poker type action.

If they were dragging their heels on a deal, it meant they thought Flynn couldn’t give them anything they didn’t already have. But he wanted to save his son from the death penalty: in return, he gives them the west wing. Is there anything else that would’ve convinced them to play ball?

It is more likely that he has been advised by his lawyer to get a lawyer with no conflict of interest.

It is not always possible for a lawyer to represent two clients in the same case as sometimes their interests conflict.

That does not necessarily mean that either of them is guilty.

I am not a lawyer, but I am aware that this happens frequently.

I dont think it was the same lawyers... it was an agreement to share info between Flynn’s lawyers and Trump’s lawyer

Something to do with Turkey/Gulen/Zarrab...but seems to me that wouldn’t be enough for Mueller since that is not really his agenda.

He would be more inclined to use Turkey/Gulen/Zarrab to get Flynn to get West Wing..not Flynn to get Turkey/Gulen/Zarrab

..And Zarrab is likely already cooperating

If this the LS conspiracy..just no

If this is Saudi money drying up and working on getting rid of some people..then maybe

Clearly things are changing due to Saudi money

Mike Flynn Turns on Trump, Talks To FBI

General Flynn has not been offered a deal as of yet, these sources say. They indicate that as of this writing Flynn has not been arrested. He would likely be offered a chance to surrender himself, sources report, when that time comes.

Sources with links to the Justice Department indicate that General Flynn has already been indicted. On May 14th that an indictment against Flynn had been returned by a Grand Jury and that this indictment was sealed. Flynn’s indictment is thought to be for his failure to register under FARA, the Foreign Agents’ Registration Act, for his lobbying for Turkey. Reporting by NBC of Grand Jury subpoenas in an investigation for which Flynn is the subject, sources say, cover separate offenses of Mike Flynn’s that are linked to Russia. These are being investigated under prosecutors in Northern Virginia*, with an attorney accustomed to handling espionage prosecutions.

Sources believe that General Mike “Misha” Flynn, to give him the Russian nickname he awarded himself when picked up by British intelligence committing treason in Cambridge, England, panicked when he heard that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had been appointed to head the investigation into Trump’s collusion with Russia.

Mike Flynn may also have interpreted Donald Trump’s text to him, ‘Stay Strong,’ on the day the subpoenas for evidence in the ongoing case against him were announced, as a threat. Sources believe that Flynn informed the FBI, and multiple other persons, of Trump’s text himself.

Separate sources with links to the intelligence community confirm our earlier reporting on how Mike Flynn co-ordinated Russia’s propaganda attack on the West on behalf of Trump, giving advice across Europe to far-right parties linked to the Russian state. These include, but are not limited to, UKIP, Marine Le Pen in France and a far-right party in Austria. Flynn regarded himself as a partisan of the Russian state, and his assistance in Russia’s messaging was not limited to hacking the American election, but in trying to boostd Putin allies right across Europe. These sources state that Gen. Flynn could receive the death penalty for espionage for these activities, if charges are brought on the matter and he is found guilty.

Flynn is being decommissioned, sources say, meaning that he is telling the FBI what he knows.

Seems as though around 90% of the comments on FR lately are idiocy.

What is the source of this. Other than "sources report". Wow, reading down:

Sources believe that General Mike “Misha” Flynn, to give him the Russian nickname he awarded himself when picked up by British intelligence committing treason in Cambridge, England, panicked when he heard that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had been appointed to head the investigation into Trump’s collusion with Russia.

Sheer insanity.
