all the things happening at once, or are do you think we are moving in to a rapidly unfolding phase hererhase here? >> i don't think it's a coincidence. i fear, but i don't know it's the case, that the appointment of whitaker may have excelled what the special council wanted to take in due time. it would not surprise me that it was part of the motivation. you know, in terms of flynn, i think one thing we need to remember is, it's not just that mueller is recommending no jail time. that is pretty extraordinary in and of itself, it's a former national security adviser lying about a national security matter and doing so in ca-hoots with the russians and it's when the plea was entered in to, mueller essentially made the decision not to proceed on a whole range of other allegations involving flynn. so, flynn is getting effectively a recommendation of no jail time on any of the conduct he was involved in, that would require very substantial cooperation and it appears that mueller got it. when you look at the cooperation agreement that flynn signed, it required him to do essentially anything spe
