32. This was probably leaked by Flynn defense attorneys.

The FBI told Manafort when they were searching his condo that he should expect to be indicted; it was Manafort's people who leaked that. I imagine the FBI issued a similar heads up to Flynn and Flynn Jr. recently, and it is the Flynn camp leaking it.

The Flynn camp is probably trying to figure out if Trump would pardon both Flynn and Flynn Jr., so they can decide whether to flip or not. By leaking this, they may get a reassuring message from Trump, like the "stay strong" message he sent Flynn Sr. a while back. Trump has yet to send such a message about Flynn Jr., that I am aware of, so I imagine the Flynn camp is particularly nervous about Flynn Jr.
