'Jared will flip like a pancake' on Trump after Flynn gives him up, predicts Obama's ethics czar

Mike Flynn looks to be cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation — and that spells big trouble for President Donald Trump, his son and son-in-law.

Norm Eisen, the former ethics czar for President Barack Obama, said news that Flynn’s attorneys have stopped sharing information about the case with Trump’s legal team should put the president on notice.

Eisen said he’d helped negotiate a cooperation deal with another target of a Mueller investigation, when the special counsel was a U.S. attorney, and he said that offered some insight into how a Flynn deal might work.

Eisen followed up his Thursday night tweets with another the next morning, which should give the president even more cause for alarm.

1. This will be fun to watch

[dalton99a]

2. Perhaps not. He's #1 on the pardon list and will not spend a day in federal prison

New York is a different story

[Irish_Dem]

3. I read that Mueller may be setting a pardon trap for Trump.

If Trump tries to pardon Kushner, Mueller unseals indictments against Trump for obstruction of justice, etc.....

[dalton99a]

4. Let's hope

[Irish_Dem]

6. Mueller survived in the jungles of Viet Nam for a year. We should not underestimate him.

He has an uncanny ability to read the minds of his enemies, anticipate their moves,
and stays at least one step ahead of them at all times. And he is fearless, nerves of steel, and cannot be corrupted.

Few of us can truly appreciate what it took for Mueller to survive in VN, and in fact do a stellar job as a Marine rifle platoon leader.

26. Your wisdom...

Makes me smile...

[Irish_Dem]

29. Thanks FarPoint. We are all wise in our own ways. nt

[byronius]

27. Well said.

[Irish_Dem]

32. When I read the specific account of what Mueller did in Viet Nam, it gave me the chills.

I could see the measure of the man right in front of me.

[OMGWTF]

33. Love Your Avatar

Abbie Hoffman is a personal hero of mine. He autographed my old copy of "Steal This Book" about six months before he died. It's one of my prized possessions. Carry on.

9. Not if there is ALREADY a sealed indictment for tRump*...

...if tRump* is indicted, he cannot pardon co-conspirators, which I am willing to bet is everyone on his "aren't we special" lists.

After Flynn* and son of Flynn*, I believe Jar-Jar* may be in the most legal jeopardy. I so fucking hope so... Jar-Jar* is in this mess right up to his shit-brown eyes. I think it was Jar-Jar* and the evil succubus Jarvanka* that helped convince Daddum*s to run, thinking they would profit handsomely off of their new national and international statures. I think Jar-Jar* has been looking for financial assistance to save his family's ailing financial "empire" for some time now.... sucks to have bet the family farm on buying a building for 1.8 billion that's worth *maybe* half that.

21. I don't know if I am as confident there is any settled law saying Trump can't pardon...

... Kushner et al.

The Constitution says The President can't pardon in matters of impeachment. An indictment is not an impeachment.

The way I read it, and I'm by no means any legal scholar, The President can't pardon himself of the impeachment.

There is nothing in The Constitution saying he can't pardon people that might testify against him or lead to his impeachment. I think, at a minimum, the impeachment limit on the powers only kicks in when there is an actual impeachment. Otherwise, any pardoning of high level officials would be subject to limits -- and we have never seen that happen. See: Daddy Bush pardoned everyone who could have placed him "in the loop" on Iran-Contra where we all know he was.

His powers of pardon are pretty much absolute for federal crimes. The only remedy is after the deeds are done. See: repiglicker congress. Or prior to the deeds if we had anything resembling a responsible Congress.

Or if it goes to The Supreme Court. See: repiglicker majority and politicians in robes.

31. RePigLickin' ...

Is what I've called them in the past..

[Irish_Dem]

30. Yes that is what I mean. Mueller can unseal that indictment if Trump gets cute. nt

[radical noodle]

36. Given the choice

I'd rather be in federal prison than state prison.

[ornotna]

5. While I hope this is all true

I love how he's trolling Trump.

[Irish_Dem]

7. I think Mueller is playing Trump big time.

He knows the Trump crime family is stupid, but at the same time understands the politics and vast machine behind Trump.

8. Christmas in November?

[lagomorph777]

10. Mueller...loves surprises

[NastyRiffraff]

15. So do I!

Bring it on to us, Mr. Mueller. We'll give you an old-fashioned ticker-tape parade on Pennsylvania Avenue!

[2naSalit]

11. K&R

[NBachers]

12. Cop goes the Weasel

as in "Cop a Plea"

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. They're comin' for you, Donnie. They're comin' to GIT ya...

It's got to be stressful, bless his heart. Here, Donnie, eat a couple of these every day. It'll calm your nerves.

Don't forget a BIG slice of beautiful chocolate cake, and TWO president-size scoops of ice cream!

And extra gravy. LOTS of extra gravy.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. ha HAH!

"Pack shoes with no laces guys."

[GoCubsGo]

16. That might explain the reports that Ivanka and Jared are being encouraged to move back to NYC.

[lagomorph777]

18. Hmm, into the lair of Eric Schneiderman...

[JHB]

35. My first thought too.

It'd be awkward (and obvious) patting him down for wire every single day.

[lagomorph777]

17. Cursegiving! Like Festivus!

[gibraltar72]

19. I assume

they have a bug out plan. Perhaps why Kushner was spending time in Saudi a few weeks ago.

[meow2u3]

20. Mueller serving up more indictments for breakfast

[orleans]

23. love it! :) n/t

[orleans]

22. i'm suddenly in the mood for pancakes! LOL

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Don't want to serve decades in jail?

poor excuse for a son-in-law

[Hekate]

25. Awesome. I want to see the entire would-be royal family locked up...

...for a very long time. I trust Ivanka has made guardianship arrangements for her little darlings should she have to spend some time away herself.

[no_hypocrisy]

28. I'll go further: If Jared flips, then he can kiss Ivanka goodbye.

No way Trump is going to recognize him as family and will forbid Ivanka from associating with him. She will not betray her daddy.

[MatthewG.]

34. Mueller must be having fun.

Given the sheer amount of dirt on Trump - and how high profile a case this is - I’d imagine Mueller must be having fun with this.

[oasis]

37. I have a casual friend who has a son in the FBI. He said son was

"highly upset" about the firing of Comey. Imagine how the rest of the intelligence community feels about Trump.

[MatthewG.]

38. Gives Mueller extra motivation to hurt Trump...
