“A business partner of Michael Flynn is being charged with acting as an agent of a foreign government and conspiracy for attempting to get Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen extradited from the United States.” washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
Here's the indictment--it's all about a conspiracy to commit FARA violations related to a Turkish government backed lobbying campaign to extradite Gulen (not the kidnapping plot that reportedly developed in parallel). Mike Flynn is Person A. documentcloud.org/documents/5631…

I strikes me as seriously weird, even w Flynn's cooperation, to throw so many counts at the business partners of the former National Security Advisor and leave him as an unindicted co-conspirator facing no jail time.

The EDVA is prosecuting this case, so it appears at least one other US Attorney's office has accepted the Special Counsel's agreement with Flynn, even though it's going to make their work in court on this case a lot harder.
