With Flynn’s sentencing memo tonight, we now have 2 major players in Trump’s inner circle—his longtime personal lawyer & fixer, Michael Cohen, & his National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, providing substantial cooperation to Robert Mueller.
Manafort’s decision to try to play both sides looks even more futile— & gives future witnesses & cooperators a warning. Don’t try to pull one over Mueller. It won’t get past him.
Questions still remain. Why did Flynn ask the Russians to hold off on retaliation to sanctions until Trump took office & then lie about it to the FBI & others? What did the Russians give the Trump campaign that they were going to treat them so favorably once Trump took office?
