    Anyway, Flynn is getting off amazingly lightly: the lesson being, Flip early and often.

        @lrozen @TimInHonolulu @Tahoesquaw1 Watching EDVA docket to see if all 4 sealed indictments disappear (i.e., wd confirm they were all Flynn family related). If so, think it means son got off entirely. Dad did his job well.

        Like over-read my reporting that there was a pending charge or deal in the SDNY vault against Reza Zarrab? Also, can you just make an indictment vanish after jurisdiction over it has transferred from Art II prosecutors to the Art III court? I don't know. Do you?

        I don't know the answer to your question but seems logical that if, pursuant to the plea agreement, prosecution of the indictments has been or will be terminated (with the approval of the court), at some point the indictments will be removed from the docket, no ?

        Sure. But I checked DC last night, having hunch Flynn might drop, and they are still all there. All 7. Fed.R.Crim.P. 48(a) needs "leave of court" to dismiss so I expect an order. FISC is an odd bird. Though I have endeavored to fathom it since mid '90s I still get surprised.

        Is there an advent calendar for this. Each day open the door.. new twist.. asking Mueller to treat Flynn nicely.. firing him when he doesn't do as told..

        Oh, it's not over for Flynn yet. The state AG will get his turn and there's plenty of juicy stuff there. And no pardon for state crimes. That's been Mueller's game plan all along.

        I think he got such an amazing deal because of the very real pardon threat. Mueller knew Flynn would rather gamble on a pardon than accept an onerous plea deal. Was forced to offer sweetheart deal to get his cooperation.

        My mom had a dog named, "Flippy," maybe they should have named him Flynn.
