2. I'm of two minds on this

I understand the need of a Mueller to tempt other guilty parties to come forward and tell the truth about the 2016 debacle. This is a complex case and involved many players.

However, the idea of General Flynn walking free sticks in my craw because the man deserves a jail sentence for his treachery, a man who vowed to serve and protect but then acted out of vindictiveness (his dismissal at the hands of President Obama), cozied up to Putin and his operatives, involved himself in plans to kidnap an American resident and worked a plan to score big with a nuclear deal in the Middle East. All in support of a Russian asset--the Trumpster.

As I said over at TPM, the American public will need to be thoroughly informed about the details on all these compromised individuals. I would prefer sooner rather than later but I agree Mueller is obviously looking at the long-game, bit by bit dismantling the conspiracy and shaping a narrative.

Or as someone reminded me today: How do you eat an entire elephant?

Obviously not in one gulp but with careful, individual forkfuls.

Washing those bites down with wine might help.
