As I predicted, Mueller has flipped Mike Flynn.
In the plea deal, Flynn admits he lied about talking to the Russians about foreign policy issues before the inauguration, says that he was directed to do so by a "senior member" of the transition team, and says he reported the results of those discussions back to the transition team. He also said he will continue to cooperate with Mueller's office; his sentencing was put off, presumably to allow the Mueller team more time to get him to provide more damaging information.
This is huge. We now know that the Trump team was talking to the Russians after the election and before the inauguration. We also know that they had conversations with the Russians prior to the election. We're just a couple of steps away from seeing the collusion they claim didn't exist.
Strap in - it gets really interesting from here. |
