Report: Donald Trump Legal Team Ready To Attack Michael Flynn | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
In a compelling segment from MSNBC's "The 11th Hour," Brian Williams discusses the evolving dynamics between President Donald Trump's legal team and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn amid ongoing investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Recently surfaced strategies indicate that Trump's attorneys are preparing to undermine Flynn’s credibility as he cooperates with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
The discussion pivots around a report from The Washington Post, which reveals that Trump’s legal strategists intend to frame Flynn as a liar attempting to save himself by making accusations against the President and his inner circle. This is particularly significant because Flynn, who was a staunch ally during Trump's campaign, has transitioned from a supporter to a potential threat due to his guilty plea for lying to the FBI.
Flynn's plea agreement has raised questions regarding the depth of his cooperation with Mueller. Trump's team seems to be betting that Flynn lacks critical evidence that could implicate the President or his administration. As they strategize, there's a palpable tension, highlighted by Flynn’s own brother's tweets advocating for a presidential pardon, illustrating the internal conflicts surrounding Flynn's actions and the implications of his testimony.
This pivot in strategy marks a notable shift for Trump, who had previously expressed unwavering support for Flynn after his firing. Key figures in the discussion, including legal analysts and political reporters, emphasize the risks of discrediting someone with a guilty plea. They warn that trying to discount Flynn's credibility could backfire due to the inherent recognition by the legal system of the seriousness surrounding his admission of guilt.
The segment encapsulates the intense atmosphere surrounding the Mueller investigation—a probe that is expanding and digging deeper into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian entities. As new witnesses are questioned, and the investigation shows no signs of winding down, the legal maneuvers from Trump's team appear to be a desperate effort to manage the narrative before further damaging revelations come to light.
Beyond the immediate implications for Trump and Flynn, this situation underscores broader themes of accountability and the lengths individuals and teams will go to protect reputations and positions in a highly scrutinized political landscape.
