Maybe this is why trump is flipping out today. Flynn testimony delayed pending plea deal.

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.

[malaise]

1. Lock HIM Up

Seriously I can't wait for Flynn to reach the Lock Up!!!

[louis-t]

2. As long as he spills his guts before being locked up.

[malaise]

3. He'll have to

or he'll be locked up for much longer.

[ProudLib72]

18. Lock him in a cell

that is wallpapered with full sized copies of Joe Barton's text message pic!

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

[Honeycombe8]

16. Does he escape lockup if he spills his guts? Or just saves his son? Enquiring minds want to know.nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

31. It will depend on exactly what the plea deal entails.

But my uneducated guess is that he'd likely escape prison time. Or, depending on what the potential sentence could be, greatly reduced.

[Honeycombe8]

32. Makes sense. I bet he gets his son off, and he gets out of jail time, but a conviction.

That's what I'd bet...because he probably has a lot of good info.

[Hortensis]

4. :) That'd do it. All leaks from Mueller's team are tactics.

[SunSeeker]

6. There have been no documented leaks from Mueller's team.

It appears the sources on the Mueller investigation info have been defense attorneys or various White House officials/staffers.

[Hortensis]

7. As I said, all leaks are tactics. Mueller wants this out. :)

[SunSeeker]

9. None of the sources have ever been described as Mueller attorneys.

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]

37. Of course the sources are not Mueller attorneys, directly. FORMER federal prosecutors

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.

5. Locking him up will be unavoidable, but much more importantly this is the true beginning...

of the end of Trump.

[malaise]

17. And he knows it

Lock him up!

[pangaia]

19. The end better come fast, and to all those fucking repubs who are about to take away

some/most/all of my medicare, chemo and SS..
PLUS take away EVERYBODY's everything!!

Plus interwebs communication and info...

Plus

[Moostache]

24. While I agree Trump must go post-haste, we are still screwed with Pence...

The only way to avoid the coming destruction of the country on the right wing altar passed away last November in the election...the next chance to minimize the damage comes again in 2018 and 2020...

[MoonRiver]

25. See my sig line

Dominos fall ONE at a time. Pence is dirty too.

[Moostache]

26. We have a lot of dominoes before we get to "sane"...

Trump
Pence
Ryan

All dirty rat bastards....but unlikely to all fall in time to avoid lasting damage...

[dawg day]

33. I'd sure like Trump out soon, but let's hope it lasts till 11/18 or maybe better 1/19

Voting in a Democratic majority would mean a Democratic Speaker, not Ryan.

It's a lot of dominoes to set up carefully, but as long as I'm dreaming....

[DangerousUrNot]

27. You think he has dealings with Russia or

is it something else?

[MoonRiver]

36. He probably has dealings with every bad actor on earth.

That's how these scum roll.

[pangaia]

34. In professional building demolition,

the bottom is taken out first and the rest falls on top of it.

The WTC buildings came down top first...taking everything below it with it.

I don't know what the necessarily means.
Just interesting...

[groundloop]

28. You're correct, Pence sucks too. HOWEVER, Pence may be able to avoid war w/ N. Korea

While I have no illusions about Pence's policies being one iota better than 45*s, I believe he may at least be sane enough not to tweet the US into a war.

[pangaia]

35. He is a religious wacko.. end times..... yahoo

I wouldn't trust him either..

[Pepsidog]

30. Exactly-2018 & 2020 must wins to save the Republic

[onetexan]

21. yes, he's really unraveling, check out this CNN article today

http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/politics/president-donald-trump-competency/index.html

Hello fellow Texan! glad to see there are a few of us here

[marble falls]

22. You'd be surprised how many Texans are here!

[uponit7771]

8. Yeah ... figured it was something

[Nevernose]

10. Nah. Hes like a horoscope

He’s always flipping out, pretty much every day unless someone takes his phone. Connecting daily comments to the news is a fool’s errand, because it’s a daily occurrence.

Being King Shitlord in a never ending culture war is literally the only political thing he knows how to do. Can’t negotiate, can’t deliberate, can’t 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 he’s got.

[FakeNoose]

14. Well, that and campaigning

Cheeto can't wait to go out campaigning again. He'd much rather do that than sit in the Oval office and do work.
He's planning his 2020 campaign already and he's hoping it will be against Hillary. (Can you imagine?)

What an asshole!

[Farmer-Rick]

20. Why does he always pucker his lips like that?

My better half had some sexual commments about him and Putin but I don't think that's why.

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.

[marble falls]

23. My wife calls it his Martha Steward lips. "Its a good thing." Makes me laugh.

[Juliusseizure]

29. Psychology says its to bring attention

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).

[marylandblue]

11. A lot of things are coming together against him

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.

[TEB]

12. Well junior will just open his lips

And screw dad

[L. Coyote]

13. The distraction level will drop after he gets his BILLION $$$ BONUS (tax break).

[wryter2000]

15. As much as I want them to LOCK HIM UP

No deal until he's given up the people above him.
