This should be interesting, and perhaps it will give us some sense of how much he may have cooperated.

It’s showing that he’s been rung for all the SC needs him for —
Those who are still being questioned may well think twice about fudging

Yeah, but how much time do you really think he’ll get. A month…a month and a half? I’m not feeling very optimistic today.

Only good news I’ve read all day is that the Presidential Alert, aka the Presidential Mega-tweet, has been postponed for awhile until the current emergency with Hurricane Florence has come to an end.

We don’t want to get our real emergencies and our faux emergencies too mixed up now, do we?

I’m hoping he only gets a slap on the wrist. If it means he gave up the whole boodle on Benedict Donald.

Flynn’s attorneys and federal prosecutors requested a sentencing date of Nov. 28 or “any of the following seven business days.”


Interesting that this is set for well after the election.

He’s been wrung and rung.

The latter reference alludes to Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” whose protagonist’s job was to blow things up.

I wonder if he’ll get more than 14 days…but as @dbmck noted above, the irony is delicious. Lock him up, indeed!

Geez, I’d almost forgotten about Flynn. When you visit TrumpWorld, you can’t tell the felons without a scorecard.

All right, Mr. Mueller, I’m ready for my close-up.

Does anyone here know what the sentencing guidelines are for what he has pleaded to, factoring in the reduction for spilling his guts?

Manafort must have given Mueller enough info to know how much Flynn helped.
