The hand-wringers and concern trolls are pouring in here like the wights at the Battle of Winterfell.
Either Mueller's statement yesterday did a lot of damage to the orange clown, or there is something even worse for him about to come down.

A U.S. judge ordered prosecutors to make public a transcript of a voicemail from someone trying dissuade former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn from fully cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Handed over to Muellers team during the probe, the message was one of several in which Flynn or his lawyers were contacted by people linked to the Trump administration and Congress, according to court papers made public Thursday.
Flynn told the government about a number of contacts that could have affected both his willingness to cooperate and the completeness of his cooperation, U.S. Attorneys Brandon Van Grack and Zainab Ahmad said in an unsealed filing prepared for Flynns sentencing last December.
On Thursday, Sullivan ordered transcripts of the phone message and of Flynns conversations with Russian officials to be posted on the courts publicly-available electronic docket by May 31.He also ordered that unredacted portions of the Mueller report related to Flynn be handed over to him.
