How is Mueller going to get Flynn? That's a good story.
His chief deputy is Andrew Weissmann. Weissmann headed the Enron task force, the team of prosecutors charged with investigating the financial collapse of the huge energy corporation. Weissmann and the other Enron prosecutors wanted the cooperation of Andrew Fastow, Enron’s former chief financial officer.
When he charged Fastow, he also indicted a new defendant: Lea Fastow, Andrew’s wife, who had also worked at Enron. With the felony charges pending against Lea Fastow, the couple faced the prospect of spending years in prison while their two young sons were raised by others.
Fastow caved and agreed to testify against the others in Enron.
Mike Flynn's son worked with his father’s lobbying firm and was also involved in the Trump transition. Almost any prosecutor would likely agree that using legitimate charges against him as leverage against his father is fair game.

It is very difficult for me to feel sympathy for Trump, but if he had nothing to do with any of this crap, I feel sorry for his seemingly terrible judgement in people.
What administration,
BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN ACTIONS, has spent their first year watching the dominos fall like this.
Obviously, the campaign was deeply involved in Russia,
not only financially but on the political level. Obviously, they felt a need to bow to Russia in all cases.
AND remember, we are only hearing the tip of the berg, so to speak. When this stuff all comes down, so many of that campaign will go down also.
Of course, if Trump was involved personally (it does give off a familiar stink based on his history), then all of them should rot in prison for the rest of their lives.
I have tried to ignore and not discuss this very much, but DO appreciate you input. You obviously are "tuned in" as best anyone can be t this point.
It becomes harder and harder to think that the President was unaware of all or any of this crap, but I pray he was unaware because the impact on our country and the office of the Presidency will be great if he knew any of this or tried to impede the investigation.
