That little weasel bastard Jess Sessions has to be sleeping poorly.

And he was having such a blast harranging Mexicans from his Senate perch.

One can't brush Donald Trump without getting shit stains all over.

Mueller hammered Gates and Manafort who tried to be brave soldiers, leaving Flynn to twist in the wind. I'd bet Manafort and Gates had plenty of state charges, and Mueller knew he could make an example out of them. Flynn watched. Mueller let him stew a long time. While novices were asking, "So why hasn't Flynn been indicted," the pros know the dangling sword has its own merit.

Finally, Flynn flipped. He decided that Mueller had plenty of evidence and would be willing to put him away for many years. And that he wanted to see the spawn of his own spawn (that is grandchildren, tommie) outside a prison yard.

It also means that he has convinced Mueller his cooperation is worth the deal. There aren't many above Flynn in the early administration food chain.

I can think of Sessions, Kushner, Pence, Bannon, and Trump. At least one of these or more is next to get a serious look from the Mueller grand.
