"It is becoming increasingly palpable that, whatever “collusion” means, there was no actionable, conspiratorial complicity by the Trump campaign in the Kremlin’s machinations."
The current charges mean nothing of the sort. That's just not how these things work. Mueller isn't going to show all his cards this early and undoubtedly has much info that he's not ready to disclose yet. As Mike said, this is the beginning, not the end. It's way too early to make any assumptions about what the end results will be of this investigation, except that it appears that Mueller is making steady progress on discovering what really happened and that it's seriously looking like someone higher up than Flynn may be implicated.
The most common explanation for the 'small-potatoes' plea that Flynn got away with, given what he's already admitted to, is that he's providing the commission with much additional useful info, and some sort of plea agreement was made.
