Ever since it was announced this morning that Gen. Flynn would be pleading guilty to “lying to the FBI” there has been a lot of hysteria. People wondering what exactly happened.
Well, here we go:
ABC News’ @BrianRoss reports that Flynn is prepared to testify President Trump directed him to make contact with Russians https://t.co/Mtt1n8DYi0

This report seems to be wrong. Ross claims Trump himself ordered Flynn but this report was contradicted by AP.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ex-Trump adviser Michael Flynn admits in plea that Trump transition officials directed his contacts with the Russians.

It was then further refuted by Donald Trump’s lawyer.

We also had former Trump associate say this
Scoop: Michael Flynn HAS not flipped on Trump nor has he given up any incriminating information on Trump and his associates. This was stuff done solely by Flynn.

So this is where we are. Gen. Flynn is yet to give up any incriminating evidence on Trump or anyone in the Trump White House. It’s also important to keep in mind that the officials mentioned are “Trump transition officials” which would mean that the legal orders to talk to the Russians were given after the election.
