The Mighty Flynn

Filed in National by on November 24, 2017

A big development in the Trump-Russia story came to light on Thanksgiving: Lawyers for Mike Flynn stopped sharing information with lawyers for others under investigation, widely taken as a sign that Flynn could be cooperating with Robert Mueller.

The media turned to former federal prosecutors for analysis. This one explains how that could make Trump vulnerable to obstruction of justice charges. This one explains how a presidential pardon for Flynn would only make that case stronger.

How are they playing all this over at Fox News? With the ol’ reliable “you can’t believe him, he’s a known liar” defense employed by every defense lawyer, usually in concert with “what did the government promise you for your testimony?” Skid-greasing for dumping ballast if ever I saw it.
