3. Says the man who prosecuted Kurshner's father and could not work for Trump as a result

I love when bad guys turn on one another

5. How would Krispie know that Flynn has been cooperating for a while ?

Sounds bullshitty to me.

[Leghorn21]

7. Bullshitty and/or weird, On - why is he speaking so freely about Flynn and Kush all of a

sudden?!

Strannnge

9. That's also a very good question. Maybe he's stuck in the middle of this too, or

Is using the opportunity to do a kushner kicking. Coming out like this against Kushner, suggests to me that he feels there's no evidence against him, so he's free to take a little revenge.

12. It's just so jarring to me that BAM, all of a sudden, he's publicly dissing Kush, but more than

that, true or false, dishing serious spy-dirt on LOSER 45s best pal Flynn?!? Mike "Stay strong" Flynn?!

Well, at any rate, uh - it's freaky, says I!

[OnDoutside]

13. On the positive side, self preservation with a hint of revenge ? On the negative side, he's still

doing Trump's bidding ?

I agree though, definitely freaky.

8. Because he has his contacts in the DOJ and he is positioning for 2020.

[OnDoutside]

10. Would the DOJ know Flynn had flipped ?

[marylandblue]

11. Or he just wants to point out the obvious

[tableturner]

14. He said: Flynn was indicted on a Friday, cooperation didn't start that Wednesday....

Then he added that obviously there had been an agreement for some time before then. He did not reference at all any inside information. He merely used logic.

This is all paraphrased, but close.

Anyway, of course a public indictment of Flynn that Friday was agreed to much earlier. In a case in which a defendant is cooperating, this gives time for the defendant to make good on the proffer, especially if the defendant is recording conversations or trying to catch others via email. There is nothing odd about that. Papadopolous had a period of a few months between the agreement and the public unsealing.

15. Thanks, that makes sense.
