It Is ON! Flynn Lawyer Met with Members of Mueller's Team This Morning



The lawyer for President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn met Monday morning with members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, the latest indication that both sides are discussing a possible plea deal, ABC News has learned.

….a sign Flynn is preparing to negotiate with prosecutors over a deal that could include Flynn’s testimony against the President or senior White House officials.

That process would typically include a series of off-the-record discussions in which prosecutors lay out in detail for Flynn and his lawyers the fruits of their investigation into his activities. Prosecutors would also provide Flynn an opportunity to offer what’s called a “proffer,” detailing what information, if any, he has that could implicate others in wrongdoing.

Sources familiar with the discussions between Flynn's legal team and the president's attorneys told ABC News that while there was never a formal, signed joint defense agreement between Flynn's defense counsel and other targets of the Mueller probe, the lawyers had engaged in privileged discussions for months.

Jay Sekulow, a member of President Trump's legal team, told ABC News last week that the break was “not entirely unexpected.”

“No one should draw the conclusion that this means anything about Gen. Flynn cooperating against the president,” Sekulow said.

Idea for a movie: a six-year-old becomes president.

@realDonaldTrump

We should have a contest as to which of the Networks, plus CNN and not including Fox, is the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me). They are all bad. Winner to receive the FAKE NEWS TROPHY!

Amanpour to Trump: At CNN we dodge bullets to bring you the news. Nothing fake about that.

If President Trump knew the facts, he would never have sent that tweet. Here is my (late) camerawoman Margaret Moth, who took a bullet in the face covering the facts and truth in Bosnia.

Instead of Merry Xmas Or Happy Holidays, How About THIS Year We just Say THIS?


Meanwhile in midtown Atlanta, on the Crowne plaza hotel, someone has been projecting this on the building. Apparently, the police can't stop it as they are not breaking the law.

Thank you. Thank You very much. Elvis has left the building.

We need to make them own it!

Face it, the conservative movement is simply a pro-abuse movement. In their history they have defended slavery, treason, bullying, police brutality, Jim Crowe, spousal rape, child abuse, sexual harassment, discrimination of every sort, and have whined about the very existence of child protective services. And now they want to elect an acknowledged pedophile.

And if they do elect Roy Moore their slippery slope argument will be made true in regards to same sex marriage. They argued that if we had gay marriage we would legitimize pedophiles. Well, they hate same sex marriage so much that they want to elect a pedophile who is the number one hater of same sex marriage.

FOX "News" Is On It

This chyron is not even remotely grounded in reality and perfectly feeds into Donald Trump’s constant imagined sense of victimhood.



Trumpism in a nutshell: Anyone who dares to correct Trump's lies about them or challenge his bigotry towards them is victimizing *him.*
