Mueller Is Losing Flynn, so He Indicts Russians
American Thinker.com ^ | /february 17, 2018 | William L. Gensert

With former national security adviser Michael Flynn's guilty plea likely to be set aside, the indictments announced yesterday by Deputy A.G. Rod Rosenstein, in tenor, scope, and timing, are a desperate attempt by Mueller to save his crumbling collusion investigation from complete failure.

"There is no allegation in this indictment that any American had any knowledge."

"[There is] no allegation in the indictment of any effect on the outcome of the election." –Rod Rosenstein

June 23, 2013. President Obama announces the appointment of James Comey to succeed Robert Mueller as head of the FBI.

There are some easily seen exigencies in the Mueller indictments of 13 Russians late Friday afternoon.

Why release the indictments on a Friday afternoon? Friday is the traditional day in politics to announce something you want people to pay little attention to and quickly forget. This is doubly true when it is a holiday weekend. Monday is Presidents' Day.

Friday afternoon at the beginning of a three-day weekend is probably one of the worst times to release something big, something that could shake to its core the very foundation of the Trump administration, because most Americans will pay little attention to this beyond reading the headlines – at least until Tuesday, when they return to work.

"No Americans involved..."

"No effect on election..."

Rod Rosenstein threads the needle.

This is a move to protect RM and RR from being fired for fear of “obstruction of justice” charges

RR is dirty, the coup plotters indicated in their chatter they had dirt on him and that RM was their insurance agent

And when the case against is finally set aside by Judge Sullivan, Mike Flynn should immediately launch a civil action against Mueller and Weissman for malicious prosecution.

Mueller should at the minimum be able to review the plea and reset it. It looks like Flynn was trapped. How can that be ethical?

"Hey look at those interfering Russians over there"...never mind the perjuring FBI and CIA directors.

Mueller is a circus promoter at this point.

“... a desperate attempt by Mueller to save his crumbling collusion investigation from complete failure.”

I am left wondering just how this can continue, when night after night multiple legal sources on FNC say that “collusion isn’t a crime.” So how is there any thought of any indictments for an action (collusion), that even if true, is not a criminal act?

Next step: the MSM-Democrats start pushing the theme that PDJT “got to Mueller” somehow, is blackmailing him, bought him off with a billion-dollar payoff, etc.

Then they demand a special prosecutor to investigate this charge.

Mueller has created himself a “safe exit”. He indicts people he can’t prosecute, dropping the collusion part and trying to save face.

He’s saying, “whew...another catastrophe avoided.”.

I doubt that Flynn would get anywhere on that directly. He’d have a better chance at asking the authorities to pull Mueller’s law license. THEN move on him for financial damages.
