People have asked variations of that question👇
Let’s look at this from Flynn’s viewpoint: He was feeling great ahead of yesterday’s sentencing.
Some Flynn supporters even predicted the judge would throw out Flynn’s guilty plea for FBI misconduct.

Does Flynn therefore see that "FBI misconduct" was a "crackpot theory?"

Nope, as a glance at Fox headlines shows.
Jonathan Turley remains persuaded that nothing Flynn did was that bad.

From this I suggest Flynn submitted the sentencing memo accusing the FBI of misconduct because he thought it was the truth.
It seems to me they don't attack Flynn because Flynn is a true believer.
Of course, this is Trump’s theory, too.
Trump's view is that“General Michael Flynn” (no name calling) is under “enormous pressure.”
No surprise: A hallmark of fascist ideology is that the dominant group sees itself as victims.
I wrote about that regarding Kavanaugh👇
“But," you say, "he's singing like a canary!”
From TrumpWorld that just looks like a good guy is buckling under enormous pressure.
But some truly embrace authoritarian ideology. (Used to be called "anti-democratic personality)
Others justify their greed based on ideology:
I suggest another explanation.
I suggest Trump thinks he’ll beat Mueller, so in the end, what Flynn says won’t matter.
(If that sounds crazy, remember that according to 538 . . .
He thinks he'll win using the same tactics he's been using all along: lead us into a post-truth world in which facts won’t matter, and torpedo Rule of Law.
Trump told an audience in MI that “all our laws are so corrupt and stupid”

Besides Trump knows his followers will believe anything he says. (If you missed it, see my Slate article👇)

(Will Trump beat Mueller? Of course not. But he thinks he will.)
The answer perhaps lies in Mueller’s 2011 lecture in which he talked about iron triangles. . .

These iron triangles pose a significant national security threat.
From Mueller: “They infiltrate US businesses, and try to manipulate people at the highest levels of government.”
Trump isn't the top of the international crime enterprise.
I suggest that Mueller is after the international Iron Triangle organization that put Trump into the White House.
