Increasing Speculation Deal in the Works, Michael Flynn Lawyer Meets With Mueller's Team
Part of what's fueling suspicions "is the fact that no charges have been filed against Flynn, despite what experts claim is almost-indisputable evidence of wrongdoing."
Nov 27, 2017
Increasing speculation that President Donald Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn could be in talks about a possible plea deal, ABC News reports that Flynn's lawyer met with members of special prosecutor Robert Mueller's team on Monday.
Late last week, the New York Times reported that Flynn's legal team confirmed it was no longer communicating with Trump's attorneys--an indication, the newspaper noted, "that Mr. Flynn is cooperating with prosecutors or negotiating a deal."
As The Hill notes, part of what's fueling speculation that Flynn is now looking to cooperate with Mueller, "is the fact that no charges have been filed against [him], despite what experts claim is almost-indisputable evidence of wrongdoing and reports Mueller has gathered enough evidence to indict."
An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, It’s been nearly 30 years since I co-founded Common Dreams with my late wife, Lina Newhouser. We had the radical notion that journalism should serve the public good, not corporate profits. It was clear to us from the outset what it would take to build such a project. No paid advertisements. No corporate sponsors. No millionaire publisher telling us what to think or do. Many people said we wouldn't last a year, but we proved those doubters wrong. Together with a tremendous team of journalists and dedicated staff, we built an independent media outlet free from the constraints of profits and corporate control. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good. Building Common Dreams was not easy. Our survival was never guaranteed. When you take on the most powerful forces—Wall Street greed, fossil fuel industry destruction, Big Tech lobbyists, and uber-rich oligarchs who have spent billions upon billions rigging the economy and democracy in their favor—the only bulwark you have is supporters who believe in your work. But here’s the urgent message from me today. It's never been this bad out there. And it's never been this hard to keep us going. At the very moment Common Dreams is most needed, the threats we face are intensifying. We need your support now more than ever. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. When everyone does the little they can afford, we are strong. But if that support retreats or dries up, so do we. Will you donate now to make sure Common Dreams not only survives but thrives? —Craig Brown, Co-founder |
