Here is an updated wire of the Gen. Flynn news as it rolls in.
Former national security advisor Michael Flynn has given special counsel Robert Mueller “first-hand” details of contacts between President Donald Trump’s transition team and Russian government officials, a bombshell court document filed Tuesday says.
Mueller in a sentencing memo said Flynn’s “substantial assistance” to his probe warrants a light criminal sentence — which could include no jail time for the retired Army lieutentant general.
That assistance, which includes 19 interviews with Mueller’s team and Justice Department attorneys, related to a previsouly unknown “criminal investigation,” as well as to Mueller’s long-running probe of the Trump campaign’s and transition team’s links or coordination with the Russian government.
“The defendant provided firsthand information about the content and context of interactions between the transition team and Russian government officials,” the memo says.
Mueller’s memo almost completely blacks out details of what Flynn might have said.

If Mueller truly had something he wouldn’t release these findings about Flynn and recommended no jail time
He is desperate and wants to make an example out of Flynn
He wants to show the remaining people being investigated that if they “comply†they won’t go to jail

Michael Flynn recommended no prison time from Mueller
This taxpayer funded hunt against @realDonaldTrump has gone on too long
Defund Mueller and end this investigation, now!

Flynn was corruptly targeted by Obama gang so it is no surprise Mueller team wouldn’t dare seek jail time. @RealDonaldTrump should pardon him.

The basis for the claim that General Flynn “Lied to the FBI†is a 302 Form that was FALSIFIED by Peter Strzok at the direction of Jim Comey

Media, Dems, Obama, Intel Community operatives dragged reputation of a decorated general through the mud. A sophisticated info op meant to ruin his life & attack POTUS. They hit Flynn w/ “Logan Act,” “collusion,” even treason allegations. All shameful BS.https://t.co/2Cv17sAB1e

Local collusion conspiracy theorist receives reality of Mueller zero jail time recommendation for Gen. Flynn, after shouting from rooftops for over a yr that he colluded, committed treason, etc. How does he square that circle? Trump or bust, it appears.https://t.co/9Hhr4kuWWQ

Disagree with many in conservative media who say there is “nothing†in the Flynn memo redactions
They didn’t meet 19 times to talk about nothing
But also it’s not the Grand Russia Conspiracy the Maddow crowd worships
The truth is more complex

Robert Mueller’s filing about Michael Flynn reveals that he would not have been in trouble had it not been for the @washingtonpost‘s report that Flynn spoke with the Russian ambassador, which it could only have known through an illegal leak of unjustified government surveillance.

Thus the basis for the Russia collusion investigation was, in fact, collusion between the outgoing Obama administration, the intelligence services, and the anti-Trump media. Conveniently, that allowed Mueller to “turn” Flynn, who may not have lied about Russia in the first place.

Flynn’s apparent deceptions about Turkey are more serious and provide good reason for him not to have been National Security Advisor. Still, the way he was spied on, unmasked (by whom, we do not yet know), victimized by an illegal leak, prosecuted, and turned is stomach-churning.
