Looks like the Orange-Haired Wonder's first national security advisor, retired Army general Mike Flynn -- who was one of the strongest supporters of the man currently occupying the Oval Office -- may be in special counsel Robert Mueller's crosshairs over his lobbying work, including whether he laundered money or lied to federal agents when he was interviewed about his overseas contacts.
My prediction? He'll be seeing an indictment soon for much the same things Paul Manafort saw. Lots of D.C. lobbyists on both sides of the aisle are running for cover from the Mueller investigation, in fact, including Tony Podesta on the left and former congressman Vin Weber on the right. Seems like all of them were taking the filthy lucre from the Russians and their Ukrainian counterparts. Nothing will come of the original collusion huffing and puffing, of course, but all these dirty lobbying deeds are posing a hazard to many K Street folks. Good. ;-)
"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…
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."
By the way, all of this leaking from the special counsel's office is patently illegal. Just FYI.
