Flynn is singing like a canary.

The question is, who is he giving up for his son’s freedom?

I’m guessing it’s the Kush.

Michael Flynn Expected to Plead Guilty to Lying to the F.B.I.
By EILEEN SULLIVAN, ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO

DEC. 1, 2017

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, is expected to plead guilty on Friday to lying to the F.B.I. about two conversations with the Russian ambassador last December during the presidential transition.

The charges were the latest indication that Mr. Flynn was cooperating with the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. Mr. Flynn was scheduled to appear in federal court in Washington at 10:30 on Friday morning.

A plea deal with Mr. Flynn brings Mr. Mueller’s investigation into Mr. Trump’s inner circle. A plea agreement suggests that Mr. Flynn provided information to prosecutors, which may help advance the inquiry.

Mr. Flynn’s lawyers recently told the president’s legal team that they could no longer discuss the special counsel’s investigation as they had been — a sign that Mr. Flynn had decided to cooperate with the prosecution.

Mr. Flynn was charged with making false statements to F.B.I. agents about two discussions with the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey I. Kislyak. Lying to the F.B.I. carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.

In one of the conversations described in court documents, the men discussed an upcoming United Nations Security Council vote on whether to condemn Israel’s building of settlements. At the time, the Obama administration was preparing to allow a Security Council vote on the matter.

Mr. Mueller’s investigators have learned through witnesses and documents that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the Trump transition team to lobby other countries to help Israel, according to two people briefed on the inquiry. Investigators have learned that Mr. Flynn and Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, took the lead in those efforts. Mr. Mueller’s team has emails that show Mr. Flynn saying he would work to kill the vote, the people briefed on the matter said.

In the other discussion, according to court documents, Mr. Flynn asked Mr. Kislyak that Moscow refrain from escalating the situation in response to sanctions announced by the Obama administration that day against Russia over its interference in the presidential election

The F.B.I. interviewed Mr. Flynn at the White House four days after the president was sworn into office. American intelligence agencies had grown so concerned about Mr. Flynn’s communications with Mr. Kislyak and false accounts that he provided to Vice President Mike Pence that the acting attorney general at the time, Sally Q. Yates, warned the White House that its national security adviser might be compromised by the Russians.

Mr. Trump had installed Mr. Flynn as aasa key figure on his national security team, but he was forced out a month after the inauguration over his conversations with Mr. Kislyak. Those conversations raised new concerns that Trump aides had been hiding their dealings with Russians.

The investigation into those ties has dogged Mr. Trump’s first year in office. Mr. Flynn is the fourth Trump associate to be charged.
And so it begins. Get your popcorn!

“‘the Martha Stewart’ offense?”

Can’t find that term anywhere. Even on ECCIE, outside of the bullshit from LLiarMan.

Please help me find it. Sure looks like more bullshit LLiarMan made up.

That said, Flynn is no doubt crying like a pussy to Mueller.

What Assup and his herd of rump wranglers is missing. Flynn lied to Trump and he got fired. Take the Obama years. Apparently everyone was lying to Obama all the time. What did Obama say frequently? I first heard about it on the TV. Hillary lied to him. Rice lied to him. Lynch lied to him. Holder lied to him. Michelle lied to him. Van Owens lied to him. Anita Dunn lied to him. Even his daughters lied to the fool. What happened to those that lied to Obama......absolutely nothing.
There's a new sheriff in town and you don't lie to him.

Especially after Commie Bernie and the Fake Squaw get finished.

Just curious ..

Those who think Flynn will "flip" on Trump are judging him by their own standards of behavior. As one looks out over the "landscape" there's only one person that can pardon Flynn. And Pence will also.
