This gives them a chance to plea bargain in exchange for information. Unless they plead guilty first like Papadopoulos.

Mueller Has Enough Evidence to Bring Charges in Flynn Investigation

by Julia Ainsley, Carol E. Lee and Ken Dilanian

WASHINGTON — Federal investigators have gathered enough evidence to bring charges in their investigation of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser and his son as part of the probe into Russia's intervention in the 2016 election, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation.

Michael T. Flynn, who was fired after just 24 days on the job, was one of the first Trump associates to come under scrutiny in the federal probe now led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into possible collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign.

Mueller is applying renewed pressure on Flynn following his indictment of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, three sources familiar with the investigation told NBC News.

The investigators are speaking to multiple witnesses in coming days to gain more information surrounding Flynn's lobbying work, including whether he laundered money or lied to federal agents about his overseas contacts, according to three sources familiar with the investigation.

Mueller's team is also examining whether Flynn attempted to orchestrate the removal of a chief rival of Turkish President Recep Erdogan from the U.S. to Turkey in exchange for millions of dollars, two officials said.

A spokesperson for the special counsel had no comment.

For every moment he's incarcerated.

The hypocrisy of the right was on clear display that evening. I betcha half the Republican Congressmen in attendance had accepted Russian money via a PAC and knew that they themselves were engulfed in traitorous behavior.

Lock those motherf***ers up.

The Special Counsel made no such announcement, but rather, multiple sources have told NBC that.

I could not imagine Mueller making that announcement particularly on a Sunday morning.
Mueller worked yesterday and is probably going to ask the grand jury to indict this week. We may not hear of the actual indictment until next week.

Looks like Mueller is playing with some people, specifically Flynn and tRump.

It also has an effect of messing with others who think they are under investigatiion and likely well coordinated.

than Mueller's team. Mueller has shown himself not to be a leaker, and more interested in surprise moves than strategic leaking.
