It Is ON! Flynn Lawyer Met with Members of Mueller's Team This Morning
The lawyer for President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn met Monday morning with members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, the latest indication that both sides are discussing a possible plea deal, ABC News has learned.

….a sign Flynn is preparing to negotiate with prosecutors over a deal that could include Flynn’s testimony against the President or senior White House officials.
That process would typically include a series of off-the-record discussions in which prosecutors lay out in detail for Flynn and his lawyers the fruits of their investigation into his activities. Prosecutors would also provide Flynn an opportunity to offer what’s called a “proffer,” detailing what information, if any, he has that could implicate others in wrongdoing.
Sources familiar with the discussions between Flynn's legal team and the president's attorneys told ABC News that while there was never a formal, signed joint defense agreement between Flynn's defense counsel and other targets of the Mueller probe, the lawyers had engaged in privileged discussions for months.
Jay Sekulow, a member of President Trump's legal team, told ABC News last week that the break was “not entirely unexpected.”
“No one should draw the conclusion that this means anything about Gen. Flynn cooperating against the president,” Sekulow said.

... but he's trying to keep his son out of trouble.
So yeah, I'm sure he'll want to cooperate with Mueller.
Mueller's already got him 9 ways to Sunday.

He still falls under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice.....
See items 104 and 106a
I believe that he at this point is negotiating to save his son, save his family from financial devastation, save his life and to die in prison without being known as a complete scoundrel and replacing the name "Benedict Arnold" with the name Michael Flynn.

I wonder how far the moron will go to save his family's asses. Will he throw them under the bus to save himself? Besides, he can't pardon Kushner if the Baltimore AG has him in his sights just as the moron is toast with NY's AG...no pardons at the state level.
