I believe that General Flynn has told everything he knows about Donald Trump and the Russians. Why do I believe that?
In his statement, he mentioned his long military record, his family, and his "country". In my opinion, that was very significant.
I think Mueller was able to appeal to his patriotism.
And Flynn knows a lot about Trump and his Russian dealings, in my opinion. He knows all the players. He knows about the money-laundering. He knows about the real estate deals. He knows about the Russian crime family and the role of Vladimir Putin. He knows of potential deals between Donald Trump and Putin. He knows a lot and he has spilled it all to Robert Mueller.
Much of what he knows is probably related to national security and will not be made public. However, those closest to Donald Trump will not be sleeping well for the next few nights. Donald Jr and Jared may want to put in an extra order for some butt plugs...
Those 2 are in the cross hairs for sure.

On the upside, Manafort's already indicted so Mueller must think he has enough on him -- which would only bode well re: Jr., Kushner and daddy.

(73,637 posts)Flynn has squealed on Jared, Junior, and Trump. This is why Mr. Mueller's team recently interviewed Jared. They nailed down Jared's statements on activities he and Flynn engaged in. Kushner's lawyer erred in allowing Jared to speak to them.

Sort of like Lauer in a way. "I'm really a good person who made a mistake."
But ever since Fitzmas and other events like that, to me the proof will be in the pudding

Do you remember how desperately LOSER45 missed him, pined for him after Mike left the WH? Sent him a text - after being admonished to have NO CONTACT - sent him a text saying, "Stay strong!" - they really are deeply connected, and dft knows that Mikey knows that dft knows etc etc...
Hey, kentuck - Stay strong!

(18,837 posts)Flynn's moves clearly show he's not going to take a hit for Trump. If he throws Trump (and his extended family) under the bus, there will be no pardon. I think he's smart enough to know that on his own, and just in case he's not, I'm sure Mr. Mueller pointed that out to him.
