Mueller’s crooked probe nabs Flynn

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has finally gotten his man – in this case, the first actual Trump administration casualty, retired Lt. General Michael Flynn, who was briefly National Security Advisor. This might be an impressive feat, if Flynn were actually being prosecuted, or had pled to, a crime involving collusion with Russia that actually affected the 2016 election. You know, the supposed subject of the Mueller counterintelligence investigation of Russian electoral collusion with the Trump campaign. Instead, Mueller wore down the lieutenant general with extreme legal and financial pressure, and possibly legal threats against Flynn’s son, to force a plea of lying to the FBI about conversations Flynn had with the Russian ambassador last December – you know, in conversations long after the 2016 election was over. It also might be more impressive if the FBI – then under Trump nemesis and Mueller protégé James Comey – had not already concluded that Flynn was not lying to them about this conversation, but that he was simply not remembering things correctly. And, it might be still more impressive if it made any sense at all for Flynn to have “lied” to the FBI regarding his entirely legal and normal conversation with the Russian ambassador.
