What the Flynn Plea Deal Really Tells Us (Updated)

I don't have the time to go into it right now, so here's the quick and dirty:

Today's plea deal between Robert Mueller's prosecutors and Mike Flynn points to the fact that, at the time Sally Yates had warned Donald and his campaign transition team about Flynn lying about his contacts with Russian officials, Donald's team already knew about it because they authorized it.

That means that Mike Pence, Donald, Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner, and many other folks in the transition team lied to the public on multiple occasions.

When they impeach, they damn well better impeach Mike Pence, too.



Update: 

If you watched The Rachel Maddow Show on Friday night, this is roughly the central story she pursued.

On a slightly different track, for whatever reason, the media has seemingly forgotten that Steve Bannon was a central character in the final stage of the campaign, its transition, and for most of the administration's time in office. He doesn't appear to have been asked to speak to the FBI. This is something we should be keeping an eye out for.
