Senator reveals Michael Flynn may have already cut a deal with the FBI against Donald Trump
With each passing day, more evidence surfaces of just how much legal trouble former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn might be in. For instance today’s latest news has Flynn having lied on his clearance forms about a trip to Saudi Arabia in which he secretly negotiated a nuclear deal with the Russians. But now one Senator says he thinks Flynn may have already cut a deal with the FBI awhile ago.
Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse appeared on-air on CNN today and volunteered the following about Michael Flynn: “All the signals are suggesting he is already cooperating with the FBI, and may have been for some time. First of all, they had him dead to rights on a felony false statement, on the statement they took from him at the White House on the Kislyak conversations. Second, [James] Comey reported that one of the things the FBI does with cooperators is get them to go back and clean up areas of non-compliance. Flynn – who will never be hired by a foreign government again – went back and cleaned up his foreign agent filings. Third, all of the reporting out of the Eastern District of Virginia on subpoenas is one hop away from Flynn.”

The question becomes why the Democratic Senator would choose now to reveal this about Michael Flynn. To be clear, Whitehouse doesn’t know for sure that Flynn has flipped, or if he does, he’s acting like he doesn’t know it for sure. But if Flynn has cut a deal with the FBI, it would be against Donald Trump, as there is no other “bigger fish” than Flynn that the FBI would be interested in. Are the Democrats now trying to get Trump to melt down and further incriminate himself by pointing out that Flynn has probably already flipped on him?
