Ty Cobb, the Beltway lawyer brought to the White House to handle the Russia investigation, predicted in August that Special Counsel Robert Mueller would be done with his work by Thanksgiving: “I’d be embarrassed if this is still haunting the White House by Thanksgiving and worse if it’s still haunting him by year end.”
But on the Friday after Thanksgiving, Mueller brought down former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. And he’s not done.
Flynn pled guilty to two counts of lying to the FBI, concerning his conversations during the presidential transition with the Russian ambassador. The conversations themselves were legal; lying about them to the FBI was not.
The conversations were picked up in “routine” surveillance of Russian officials; Flynn’s name was later unmasked and leaked, illegally, to the media (a crime that somehow has not yet been prosecuted or even, perhaps, investigated).
