Report Suggests Trump Told Flynn to Lie to the FBI
It has never been clear what crimes, if any, Donald Trump might have personally committed in the course of the Russia scandal. But in the 24th paragraph of a new NBC News report on the investigation is a sentence that indicates Robert Mueller’s cleanest shot — so far — at proving illegality by the president. Mueller, NBC reports, “appears to be interested in whether Trump directed [Michael Flynn] to lie to senior officials, including Pence, or the FBI, and if so why, the sources said.”
In December 2016, Flynn sat at the center of hidden diplomacy between the Trump transition team and Russia. The departing Obama administration was putting into place sanctions to punish Russia for its criminal theft of emails. The Trump team was quietly telling Russia not to retaliate because it would reverse or undermine those sanctions. Flynn conveyed this message to Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December. The next month he denied doing so to FBI agents.
Two days after that, Sally Yates, the acting attorney general, met with White House counsel Don McGahn and told him about Flynn’s lie, which she had learned of through FBI surveillance of Russia. The danger of the lie was extreme. Since the Russians were privy to the conversation Flynn had denied ever having, they knew he was lying, and thus had powerful blackmail leverage over him.
And yet, despite having been informed that the incoming national security adviser was an extreme security risk, the White House responded with strange lethargy. Flynn remained on the job for 18 more days, and was finally fired, supposedly for lying to Vice-President Mike Pence. Trump nonetheless praised Flynn effusively, and reportedly later conveyed the message he should “stay strong.”

I can actually believe that -- but the only worse possible optics would be to resign right after a Mueller interview.

MIght have had something to do with the two days in front of Mueller she had to spend. Leaving the administration on the advice of counsel would be a way to limit her exposure to any coming charges, and free her to flip too.

Washington (CNN)
Hillary Clinton faulted President Donald Trump for continuing to "ignore and surrender" to Russian meddling in a tweet on Wednesday,
asking whether the Republican who defeated her in the 2016 election will "protect the country."
The direct barb at Trump comes after US Cyber Command chief Adm. Mike Rogers told lawmakers on Tuesday
that Trump has not granted him the authority to disrupt Russian election hacking operations where they originate.

These were top agents in the FBI and DOJ. They are expected to conduct themselves with integrity, independence, objectivity, and commitment to the rule of law. They didn’t. And the only reason they were caught was because of the OIG investigation, that should concern you.
