(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.

4. Too many people think the justice system is a Law and Order: SVU episode.

And everything is resolved tidily within an hour, with either the perp convicted, or acquitted and then shot on the courthouse steps.
