CHARGE AGAINST FLYNN IS MORE EVIDENCE THAT MUELLER HAS NOTHING
News media are breathlessly reporting that Gen. Michael Flynn has agreed to plead guilty to lying to the FBI.
The false statements alleged by the government seem rather pathetic.
(He lists the false statements)
Thats it, after a year of huffing and puffing. Nothing about the election, nothing about the long-awaited collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. I have no idea why Flynn apparently lied to an FBI agent, assuming that he did. But the communications described in the information are exactly the sorts of contacts that a national security advisor to an incoming president should be having with foreign powers.
In short, the allegations against Flynn suggest that Robert Mueller has nothing significant against President Trump or other members of his administration.

So instead of this news meaning that Flynn is ready to spill his guts, they think the reported charges against him are all that Mueller has.
They work so hard at staying in the fantasy world they create while ignoring reality.
