Martin Longman makes a good point: What if Michael Flynn is cooperating with Robert Mueller?
I was surprised when the indictments came down and Flynn wasn't one of them. His instances of law breaking are pretty clear. I'm not sure there is any question that Flynn broke various laws regarding registering as a foreign agent as a former military officer. However, Flynn shares Trump's paleolithic world view and one would think a soldier would value loyalty. He might also value not spending the rest of his life in jail. Or perhaps he sees the errors of his ways in consorting with Putin.
If Flynn HAS flipped, that's a treasure trove for Mueller, and as the previous exposure of Papadapoulos showed, Mueller can keep a secret.
Flynn can likely put Trump or Trump's sons in the room with Russians. He's the critical piece.
