That has bothered me ever since it was announced. There was nothing wrong about anyone from the Trump campaign talking to the Russians, or any other foreign country. So, did Mueller ask questions he knew the answers to hoping Flynn would slip up so he could accuse him of lying?
Well, according to this article, that wasn't the case.
In March, The Wall Street Journal published an article, in which former CIA Director James Woolsey claimed he attended a meeting with former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and Turkish Foreign Ministers to discuss removing Fehtullah Gulen, a Turkish cleric living in Pennsylvania. Mueller put that meeting under investigation.
So even though Flynn didn’t do anything illegal or wrong with his phone call it’s not out of this realm that someone pressured him to plead guilty in order to release the pressure on his son over that meeting.
Just like everything else lately (like all those stupid memos) this has brought up more questions. Mueller has been investigating supposed collusion between Trump and Russia for a very long time. Did he feel like he had to show something
This was not done by the Department of Justice. It was done by Mueller. Flynn was a popular target among those who hated Trump and I remember viewing statements by people who seemed like they were salivating at the thought of Flynn going down.
From If Comey, FBI Didn't Think Flynn Lied, Then Why Did He Plead Guilty?
