(1) First, as an attorney I want to make clear that, if this @CNN analyst's sources are correct, the #Russiagate scandal is blown wide open.
(THREAD) BREAKING: Harvard professor and @CNN political analyst Juliette Kayyem says, per sources, Michael Flynn may have flipped on Trump.pic.twitter.com/kkG4h4gqvw

(2) The FBI flips witnesses, turning them into cooperating individuals, _only_ when they can help secure conviction of a bigger "target."
-
(3) Michael Flynn was the National Security Adviser for the President of the United States. The only _bigger_ target is Donald J. Trump.
-
(4) But Flynn also held a clandestine meeting with Russian ambassador/spy Sergey Kislyak and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner in December '16.
-
(5) And Flynn coordinated with infamous Iran-Contra figure and Russian oil/gas pipeline advocate Bud McFarlane in hiring Trump's Deputy NSA.
-
(6) And of course Flynn had the highest possible clearance and greatest possible access to POTUS in discussing matters of national security.
-
(7) Flynn's hire as NSA was controversial--even suspicious--when it was made due to Flynn's absolutely _terrible_ reputation in Washington.
-
(8) This suggests the hire wasn't based on merit, but rather the fact that Flynn is _known_ to have ties (in-person ties) to Vladimir Putin.

@SethAbramson@CNN Trump could theoretically pardon Flynn now in hopes he'll stop talking, but it may be too late. -
@laurenbraden@SethAbramson@CNN he can't pardon anyone unless that person has already been convicted, which Flynn has not. -
@ladykayaker@SethAbramson Pre-emptive Presidential Pardons: Can you be pardoned before you're ever charged?http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2008/07/preemptive_presidential_pardons.html … -
@laurenbraden@SethAbramson He can't pardon people involved in impeachment proceedings, so he can't pardon these folk. -
@ladykayaker@SethAbramson uh, this is not yet even close to an impeachment proceeding -
@laurenbraden@ladykayaker@SethAbramson Ford pardoned Nixon. -
@KPCCofframp@laurenbraden@ladykayaker@SethAbramson never happen. Nixon didn't collude with the enemy. Not even a close comparison. -
@furesist@laurenbraden@ladykayaker@SethAbramson ? My point was only that he wasn't charged with a crime when he was pardoned, right? - 他1件の返信
