Lawyers for Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, notified the president’s legal team in recent days that they could no longer discuss the special counsel’s investigation, according to four people involved in the case — an indication that Mr. Flynn is cooperating with prosecutors or negotiating a deal.
I suppose that they'll need to feed him some newer polls.
I love that Trump continues to insist that he's not under investigation. Just more evidence of delusional thinking.
It is quite interesting to see the various articles and opinions regarding Flynn. 99% miss the fact that Flynn is a world class Counter Intelligence operative. His training and his forte are in the fields of military deception, operation security, surveillance and security analysis. To even suggest he would not know he was being recorded when he spoke to the Russian Ambassador is just laughable. Of course he knew.
Consider then, that Flynn, who is loathed by many Obama operatives like Brennan (CIA) and McCabe (FBI), knew that they would never accept him as NSC advisor and would attack relentlessly to stop him from taking or remaining in that role. Flynn therefore, took it upon himself to become the lightning rod and absorb the early attacks on Trumps team and just resign from a position he hadn't even been appointed to officially. Note Flynn, never signed the form stating he would not undertake outside work or lobbying work for the 4 year Trump term. He never signed it because he never intended to take the NSC role. Flynn I believe always intended acting as a contractor providing counter intel security for Trump.
Certainly after Flynn resigned some extraordinary counter intel operations cleaned out all the White House leakers. Different people were given different versions of an event. Immediately identifying which leaker was leaking to which media outlet. It's called a Barium meal, pure General Flynn. Note Trump said at the time "the news is fake, the leaks are real".
Once you accept that, it becomes easier to realize that Flynn has beeen part of and in fact still is still running a brilliant counter intelligence operation for the White House. It is 100% leak proof, they have OPSEC, operational security. They selectively leak fake news which is jumped on by the mainstream media and reported as fact, with no verifications. MILDEC Military Deception. When you understand and accept Flynn's role in the operation you can easily see articles such as this one are completely fake deceptions. Along with all the McMaster vs Trump narratives, General Kelly almost resigning narratives, Trump as a spoled baby having two scoops of ice cream, Trump unable to take in detailed analysis etc etc.
It's all deception, "chaff", decoys whatever you want to call them. They work on confirmation bias so that people who already think this of Trump will see it as confirmation of their belief he is a clown. It gets reported and published and repeated. Allowing Trump and his team to work on their world changing, geopolitical upheavals, economic game changing etc etc without interruption.
And as much as one attempts to explain this, there are many people incapable of seeing the evidence. It's much easier for them to just confirm their existing bias about 'Trump as Clown'. I find them extraordinarily stubbornly and embarrassingly stupid people. I really could not live with myself, if I were them, when it comes out how wrong they are.
Confirmation Bias is something that can easily infect our judgement, like a virus. We are vulnerable to Confirmation Bias when we hold our views on a subject so strongly that they begin to define us as a person. We have seen thousands of people in this state since the election of Trump. People who literally define themselves by their hatred for President Trump.
When people are in this state, they are actually quite vulnerable and exposed. Because effectively they are no longer in control of how they define and see themselves in the world. For example those defined by their hatred for Trump would be uncomfortable if it was reported that he had a major success or did something to receive widespread praise. The Trump haters would feel dimished and less important. By contrast any news that shows Trump in a poor light or takes a Trump story from an unfavourable point of view, the person will feel empowered and more influential and correct.
So it's easy to see that people self defining through their Trump hatred, will be far more inclined to focus on negative or unfavourable stories so as to affirm and empower their self defined Trump hating status. In effect they are bias towards anything that confirms theirTrump hating status.
Hence Confirmation Bias a virus of the mind that refuses to accept any news or facts that run counter to their stated beliefs.
Avoid media brainwashing, confirmation bias and other traps by ensuring you take in a wide variety of views, each backed up with fact. Remain open to alternative views and then judge on evidence. Your gut feeling should guide you.

normal guy, how could I say otherwise about him, I'm from Russia))))
Never should’ve been on that post anyway!
Does that mean that he is acting normal, but he lives in a weird alternate reality created by his staff? :P
