If you listened to "Bag Man," you might see why Mueller's deal with Flynn was right and smart [View all]

I think will eventually find out that Flynn gave the prosecutors some invaluable information and, thus it was worth it to them to cut him a sweet deal - just as Eliot Richardson did with Agnew.

But this upside Richardson didn't have: surely Mueller knew that, while the judge wouldn't give Flynn less time than recommended, it was very likely he would give him more.

Mueller's not stupid and he's not corrupt. I have no doubt that, like Richardson, he made the deal he needed to make to achieve the result we will all eventually realize was the right one
