Two points:

From Andy McCarthy's NR article: "That is not happening in Flynn’s situation. Instead, like Papadopoulos, he is being permitted to plead guilty to a mere process crime. A breaking report from ABC News indicates that Flynn is prepared to testify that Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians — initially to lay the groundwork for mutual efforts against ISIS in Syria. That, however, is exactly the sort of thing the incoming national-security adviser is supposed to do in a transition phase between administrations. If it were part of the basis for a "collusion" case arising out of Russia’s election meddling, then Flynn would not be pleading guilty to a process crime — he’d be pleading guilty to an espionage conspiracy."

And from DC Whispers: "What it actually amounts to is a truthful lie – a gross misrepresentation of what really happened."

"Consider this – Trump won the election. He directs his would-be National Security Adviser to reach out to Russia."

"So? That’s not illegal. It’s prudent."

"The Deep State and the media are turning something every incoming administration has done in preparing the normal change in power into something nefarious hoping the American public are dumb enough to swallow the bait whole. Some will."

So, Mr. Mueller, can we wrap this up by Christmas?
