Why Flynn’s attorneys didn’t do the same is beyond me.

That's a really good question. One of the things I've considered is that Flynn was in a different position than the other defendants because he actually took a position in the Trump administration -- which meant the FBI gathered plenty of information about him legitimately (as part of a background check, for example) that could be used against him in a criminal case. The others are in a much better position to challenge every single piece of evidence brought out against them.

Or maybe he was flat out bankrupted by legal fees and mueller threatened to prosecute his son if he did not confess and cooperate.
