"SNIP.........
President Trumps legal team plans to cast former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn as a liar seeking to protect himself if he accuses the president or his senior aides of any wrongdoing, according to three people familiar with the strategy.
The approach would mark a sharp break from Trumps previously sympathetic posture toward Flynn, whom he called a wonderful man when Flynn departed the White House in February. Earlier this month, the president did not rule out a possible pardon for Flynn, who is cooperating with special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Attorneys for Trump and his top advisers have privately expressed confidence that Flynn does not have any evidence that could implicate the president or his White House team. But since Flynns cooperation agreement with prosecutors was made public earlier this month, the administration has been strategizing how to neutralize him in case the former national security adviser does make any claims.
Flynn is the most senior former Trump adviser known to be providing information to Muellers team. The lenient terms of his plea agreement suggest he has promised significant information to investigators, legal experts said.

(82,849 posts)Right up until the moment he agreed to cooperate with Mueller. Now? The wonderful man that Trump appointed to be his National Security Adviser is damaged goods. Unreliable. A liar. Yea, the scales have fallen from Donnie's eyes, and he now sees Flynn for the mountebank he has been all along!
You'd have to be dumber than a Fox News junkie to believe this malarkey. But watch the popular media line up to gulp it down with a spoon.
