One has to imagine that this is a deal.

ABC News is saying that it is: The general told confidants about his decision to plead guilty in the last 24 hours, according to people close to Flynn, who say the former adviser feels Trump has abandoned him and has agreed to answer questions about the president or anyone else. A brief statement released by Mueller’s team Friday morning does not say what information Flynn has provided the government as part of the deal, but people familiar with the agreement told ABC News Friday he has made a decision to assist investigators.

Lots of reports out there that Flynn was directed to have this contact with Kislyak by Trump himself. The statement of offense is a good bit too.

Yep....certainly not the sharpest tool in the drawer.

There better be damning evidence. Mueller isn't going easy on a traitor for nothing. Whatever it is, it has to be big. After tax cuts is exactly when they'll abandon him. He is their useful idiot, and they his. They will only support one another insofar as it's expedient to do so.
I'm sure there's a pithy video quote somewhere. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/30/flashback-mike-flynn-said-immunity-equals-guilt.html

This comment over on that other site has multiple sources saying that Flynn has said he's willing to testify against Trump and whomever else.
