Явка с повинной

Главная новость вчерашнего вечера - Майкл Флинн всплыл со дна и готов дать показания ФБР и Конгрессу в обмен на иммунитет от уголовного преследования. Интересно также то, что пока что никто с ним на такую сделку не пошёл.

He has made the offer to the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees through his lawyer but has so far found no takers, the officials said.
Mr. Flynn’s attorney, Robert Kelner, wouldn’t comment on details of his discussions involving Mr. Flynn, but noted he is a decorated Army veteran with a lifetime of public service. “General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit,” Mr. Kelner said.

Дэвид Корн из Mother Jones писал, что в расследовании связей России с избирательной кампанией Трампа есть простой вопрос, на который до сих пор не получен ответ и который помог бы расколоть весь орех. Сообщалось, что Флинн был в контакте с Сергеем Кисляком не только после выборов, но и до выборов. Простой вопрос: о чем они разговаривали до выборов?

What was Flynn, this prominent and important Trump adviser, saying to Kislyak during this stretch? The ambassador refused to tell the Washington Post what he and Flynn discussed. Was Flynn firmly telling the Russians to cease meddling in US politics? Did they discuss the hacking at all? Or perhaps Flynn was signaling to Moscow that Putin would get a better deal if Trump were elected. If Flynn uttered to Kislyak anything of that nature—or even if he ducked the issue of the hacking—Moscow could have read this as encouragement for its covert operation to undermine the US election.
