do everything in their power to make this go away. Or obfuscate and deflect so badly that in the end nothing will come of this. But what I am doing is laughing at his dumb "Lock her up" ass.

to fry Flynn's ass already. No matter what the Justice Dept does, Gen Maddis will make sure that Flynn faces military justice, loses his rank and his pension at the very least.

If she said it, I'd take it to the bank. She's a careful reporter.

She's one of the reporters I pay close attention to. She seems to be a no-nonsense news gatherer who asks excellent questions when she is interviewing someone. She's a real asset to NBC.

Even if Flynn gave up tRump himself (and I doubt he would anyway), there are other players to be squeezed.

They don;t need his testimony bad enough to grant immunity, but they still may deal with him when the prosecutor starts his case. Flynn will get 3-5 in a minimum security facility rather than 20-35.

People in the Trump White House will soon be like rats leaving a sinking ship and those are the people to get info from.

Can't remember where. Flynn has been shopping for immunity for a few weeks already. Nobody is biting.
