Did Flynn Just Call Out Mueller on Under-the-Table Plea Deal

Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn appears to have put the team of former special counsel Robert Mueller on the defensive, unraveling what had been suggested to be a possible unofficial deal with the prosecutors.

Flynn, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in 2017 to one count of lying to the FBI. The Mueller team recommended a light sentence for him, including no prison time, officially because of his contrition for the crime and extensive cooperation with multiple Justice Department investigations.

Several weeks before Flynn signed his plea, NBC News reported, based on unnamed sources, that the Mueller team was trying to get Flynn’s cooperation by threatening to indict his son, Michael Flynn Jr.

“If the elder Flynn is willing to cooperate with investigators in order to help his son … it could also change his own fate, potentially limiting any legal consequences,” the article stated.

This isn’t how an official plea deal would work, according to former FBI agent and Epoch Times contributor Marc Ruskin.

“It would be done with a wink and a nod,” he said in a previous phone interview, later adding that “it wouldn’t be binding, but it would be like an understanding.”

It’s not clear whether any such deal was reached and if so, what specifically it entailed. But Flynn’s case involves a number of peculiarities that suggest something was going on behind the scenes.

Flynn’s statement of offense attached to his plea acknowledges that he lied to the FBI during a Jan. 24, 2017, interview.

I’m sure Flynn can cite dates and times where he was threatened. Every judge knows that people admit to crimes they didn’t commit in order to avoid being further bankrupted, or having their friends or family prosecuted in exchange for pleading guilty. In fact, the judge in this cased all but pleaded with him to withdraw his guilty verdict. The judge knew exactly what was happening. The judge even said, “I’m not in the habit of accepting guilty pleas from innocent people”, and strongly suggested to Flynn that he get another opinion from another lawyer.

Never forget Peter Strozk and Lisa Page's texts from the days post-inauguration. Though redacted and chopped up, the biggest topic was that those in power above them decided to proceed immediately with the next steps of the Coup d’Etat. Strozk comments that he advised waiting a few months to proceed. Page and he say that it feels like “the wheels are coming off” and how nervous Pete was the night before his interrogation of Flynn which prepped the Flynn canard that he lied. Comey decided to rush the timing of the Coup to take advantage of the new Admin’s disorganization. He instructs McCabe to call Flynn to set him up for the interview without WH Counsel who would have recorded notes to back Flynn's testimony. Flynn, perhaps wittingly or unwittingly, declines to view the interview as anything but a amicable conversation.

In the end, every step of the Obama coup attempt came to pass. And the muzzling of this anti-radical Islamist General was a success!! He has been unable to speak about this subject and the Obama connection to that doctrine since Dec 1, 2017.

The only new news today is his current attorney Ms Sidney Powell wrote in her Court brief that Prosecutors are engaging in illegal, behind the scenes arm twisting of Flynn to make him lie. It's out now what Flynn could not tell us. He's been threatened and the life of his family threatened.

That is how the Chicago Mafioso run. Obama and Hillary both disciples of Chicago Alinsky/Dailey political corruption. If anyone on this board believes Lt Gen Flynn is equivalent in integrity to our former Presidents and their cohorts, they are either ignorant of open source facts or have motives I wonder about.
