CNN) Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team has postponed an anticipated grand jury testimony linked to his investigation into Michael Flynn amid growing indications of possible plea deal discussions.
Additional witnesses were expected to be questioned soon including a public relations consultant hired by Flynn's lobbying firm who was given an early December date deadline to appear before the grand jury, according to a person at the company.
Ahead of the delay, the impression was that the testimony needed to happen soon, the source said.
They're coming to take him away, haha.

(Or maybe that could be what Mueller is threatening him with if he doesn't spill his guts)

(37,648 posts)That's what I'd bet...because he probably has a lot of good info.

(51,564 posts)It appears the sources on the Mueller investigation info have been defense attorneys or various White House officials/staffers.

(51,564 posts)There is no evidence Mueller is orchestrating any leaks. You certainly have shown none.
On this story, the source is "a person" at Flynn's lobbying firm.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)who are writing and showing up on the higher-quality political shows, including some who have worked with Mueller, have said that his operation is very tight, and at least a couple have said flat out that if we're hearing it it's because they want it known and leak it very deliberately.
Which brings to mine that person from the Mueller team who got a swift transfer to the JD's human resources department. Didn't notice if anything about the why of that ever came out, but...human resources?! No reason to specifically believe that was because of an unauthorized leak, though.
In any case, I'm not talking about you, but there's too much trumpian "do not know what it is to know something" here. Pros who do know a great deal and have been part of this type of operation before are observing everything possible. They believe, and have said, that nothing is done by Mueller's team that is not part of a big strategy that's been very carefully crafted and is being similarly implemented, with adjustments no doubt made frequently as the situation develops.

(13,081 posts)Hes always flipping out, pretty much every day unless someone takes his phone. Connecting daily comments to the news is a fools errand, because its a daily occurrence.
Being King Shitlord in a never ending culture war is literally the only political thing he knows how to do. Cant negotiate, cant deliberate, cant even have a two minute conversation with a goddamned war hero without saying something racist. Getting people riled up over completely meaningless bullshit is literally all hes got.

He's planning his 2020 campaign already and he's hoping it will be against Hillary. (Can you imagine?)
What an asshole!

Someone once said puckered lips, especially upper lip, indicates disagreement and disgust. But he puckers up even when he's just giving a speech.
Whatever the reason, he sure looks like a fish.

(562 posts)This based on one article but it makes sense. His mouth movements together with his histrionic hand gestures and overstated opinions are intended to get attention.
To me, it makes him look like an ape (on top of what he says).

(12,344 posts)In addition to the Flynn stuff, White House staff is meeting with Mueller probably this week, DOJ documents have been subpoenaed, and Manhattan DA is investigating Manafort. He's feeling the noose tighten even while he is trying to convince himself that the investigation is almost over.
