the memo team Trump in shock as Flynn flips president Trump was pitched into a
deepening crisis on Friday as his former national security adviser Michael Flynn
pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and announced that he was cooperating with
the team of investigators spearheaded by Special Counsel Robert Mueller the news
which broke early on Friday morning delivered a seismic shock to the Trump
team terrible was the verdict of one source close to Trump speaking on
condition of anonymity the source added that Mueller's success in getting Flynn
to flip was very dangerous for the president the likelihood of Flynn
cooperating with Mueller had been on the rise since Thanksgiving when his
attorneys had told lawyers working for UMP that they could no longer share
information but the confirmation that the former national security adviser had
been turned by Mueller was a political and legal bombshell the atmosphere of
crisis gave rise to chaotic moments at one point a small group of reporters at
the White House assembled for a schedule of pool spray jargon for a brief
opportunity for photos and a shouted question or two as Trump met the Libyan
Prime Minister in the Oval Office they were then led back to the briefing
room without being led into the meeting there is no pool spray they were told by
White House spokeswoman Lindsey Walters Trump on Saturday morning told reporters
he's not worried about the Flint developments what has been shown is no
collusion he said when asked about Flynn there's
been absolutely no collusion so we're very happy the news all but obliterated
the coverage of a significant step forward for Republicans on Capitol Hill
as the Senate passed the party's tax reform plan the first significant
legislative achievement since the GOP took control of a unified government in
January the president's personal lawyer Ty Cobb put a positive spin on the Flynn
news in a statement he emphasized that Flynn had served as national security
adviser for a less in a month and also described him as a
former Obama administration official Cobb insisted that nothing about the
guilty plea or the charge implicates anyone other than mr. Flinn but behind
the scenes the atmosphere and trumps orbit was different
it makes the White House staff very nervous because no one exactly knows
where the investigation will lead next said one GOP strategist with close ties
to the administration Flynn's decision to cooperate comes
against the urgings of the President himself Yahoo News reported that Flynn
told supporters in April that Trump had encouraged him to stay strong the
previous month Trump had tweeted Mike Flynn should ask for immunity and that
this is a witch-hunt excuse for big election loss by media and beams of
historic proportion the argument that the Mueller investigation is a witch
hunt is now close to untenable legal documents filed in relation to Flynn's
plea deal assert that he lied to FBI agents about his conversations with in
Russian the ambassador to the US Sergey cos lyac during the transition
period after Trump's election victory according to the documents Flynn falsely
told the FBI that he had not asked the Russians to refrain from escalating the
situation in response to sanctions imposed by then President Obama he also
falsely denied encouraging Russia to derail a resolution at the United
Nations that was critical of Israel Mueller is boring deeper and deeper into
Trump's inner circle court documents for instance state that
Flynn had been directed by a very senior member of the presidential transition
team to contact representatives of foreign governments including Russia in
try to persuade them to delay the vote or defeat the resolution at the United
Nations multiple news outlets have reported that this person is Jared
Gunnar the president's son-in-law the Flint developments will also fuel
speculation about whether the president obstructed justice when he asked
FBI director James Comey to back off the Flint case as Comey has testified and
then fired him on Friday morning Comey raised eyebrows by tweeting a biblical
verse but let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an
ever-flowing stream Joyce Vance a former US Attorney for the Northern
District of Alabama noted that Flynn's lies to FBI agents will be widely
assumed to have some ulterior motive a false statement to the government
doesn't happen in a vacuum she said false statements happen to
cover up other problems other criminal conduct it seems very likely that Flynn
has a story to tell and now Mueller has given him the deal he was seeking or was
perhaps forced to accept of the three other people in Trump's orbit who have
been charged as part of Mueller's probe former Trump campaign chairman Paul
Manafort his associate Richard gates and former foreign policy adviser George
papadopolis only Papadopoulos is known to be cooperating with investigators
when news of Papadopoulos losses cooperation first broke in October more
senior figures around Trump took a measure of comfort from his relative
lack of standing in their world he was not regularly in contact with top level
campaign officials they insisted that is clearly not true of Flynn who was a key
campaign adviser and spoke on Trump's behalf at last year's Republican
National Convention in Cleveland where he led the crowd in a chant of lock her
up and reference to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton Flynn's cooperation
means that Trump family members like gush nur as well as Trump himself should
he agreed to meet with investigators could be at risk according to experts
Harry Whitman a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General predicted on Friday
afternoon that Kushner and Trump are huddling with their lawyers right now
trying to figure out everything they ever said to Michael Flynn Libman added
it's not as if prosecutors are going to say Flynn thinks X what do you think if
Flynn said X and then they say why they could be in serious trouble
no one knows how much Mueller knows or whether other potential witnesses as yet
undiscovered are cooperating with him if people close to the president have
anything to hide that is in an Irving Vista for Trump
remember the central part the Flynn investigation has played in all the
maneuverings to date Whitman said well whatever Flynn knows Bob Mueller now
knows and whatever Mueller now knows eventually the country will know
