Flynn's attorney's advice, but is in the context of the upcoming hearings, and potential criminal hearings. He had legal advice all along, but made no move to register as a foreign agent. He believed he was above the law -- the exact attitude that the Nixon folks had. And, again like the Nixon sludge, he didn't grow a conscience spontaneously -- his actions aren't out of respect for the law. Just the opposite: he wants to avoid legal consequences.

I read another DU:GD post suggesting he might be turning on the White House. I do not think this is so. Trump, and Trump alone, has the power to pardon him, if the shit hits the fan and splatters upon him. However, if Trump hesitates to do so, I'd expect Flynn to try to make a deal.
