Do you think Flynn giving Mueller Manafort in some way would be enough

for a deal, or as an informed tweet by someone earlier said it would take either Don Jr., Jared or the Orange Hairball himself for Flynn and son to get off easy?

(or for the usual suspects, do you think he's giving them Al Franken?)

So, it makes no sense that Flynn would be offered anything unless he gives up Kushner, JR or Big Pappa
