The Special Prosecutor's plea recommendation for Michael Flynn describes his cooperation as timely and substantial and urged no prison time because of his value as a witness. It also seems to identify top members of Trump's campaign who coordinated with Russians during the campaign, continued to do so after the election during the transition, and after Trump took office. The document was heavily redacted before it was released to the public, so the names were obscured. Ominously, the reason for the redaction was due to on-going investigations.

This looks like a ton of bricks that will ultimately squash Trump's family and friends who were instrumental in his campaign.

Trump may have seen this coming early in his Presidency when he famously asked, "Can I pardon myself?"

it's reasonably possible that Trump did or did not get directly involved in any of the Russian actions to mess with our opinions and ultimately our voting, which definitely happened...but I was posting long ago about the danger of his mortgages/loans owed to Russia and attempts to get a Trump Tower Moscow built (or some such name) that started before he ran and may have never stopped. Flynn, Manafort,and Cohen, with their vast political and business connections in Russia, Ukraine et al, had great value in these efforts. Let's not pretend.

If true, this left him compromiseable (new word) to Putin and his banks, the only banks (maybe China too) in the world that would loan him a nickle. Consider that his positive marketing on behalf of Putin and Russia started early on in the primary process. And the drum banging only slowed when virtually all of his appointed people and Congress expressed disgust.

With all that said, and more not said yet, I wouldn't bet the house that Flynn is being "rewarded" for info that leads to impeachable offenses. But I could see enough crap that a resignation or decision to not seek reelection is the result...and if the news is really bad for Trump, I'd much prefer those options than impeachment for the good of the country.

Several things are clear to anyone with a sound mind.

There was no collusion.
There were tons of WMDs in Iraq.
Obama wasn’t born here.
Hillary clearly broke the law but the republicans controlling all branches of the government at the moment will not do their duty.

Duh.

c'mon guys, the addendum is only 6 pages, of which half the content is redacted...only 5 or 6 key sentences tells you what Mueller has regarding Trump campaign members and Russian coordination ...

Flynn was with Trump from the beginning of his campaign, and became a mentor of sorts to Kushner...if anyone knows what really happened and who did what, Flynn does...

And probably need to define conspire, too...does conspire only apply to illegal activity?
