Wire Time

The Palmer Report: Robert Mueller forced Michael Flynn to agree to wear a wire

Guardian UK: Was Michael Flynn asked to wear a wire in Mueller hunt for evidence on Russia? Plea agreement includes clause showing Flynn consented to participate in ‘covert law enforcement activities” if required
Section eight of the deal reached by Donald Trump’s former national security adviser in the inquiry into Russian meddling in the US election is entitled “cooperation”. It specifies that as well as answering questions and submitting to government-administered polygraph tests, Flynn’s cooperation “may include … participating in covert law enforcement activities”.

Long-time students of federal law enforcement practices agreed, speaking anonymously, that “covert law enforcement activities” likely refers to the possibility of wearing a concealed wire or recording telephone conversations with other potential suspects. It is not known whether Flynn has worn a wire at any time.

I'm not sure what it means but it looks like Mueller is trying to turn an already paranoid situation for the WH into a really scary situation where nobody there trusts anyone else. It certainly shows that Mueller is focused on what he's doing and knows Trumpf is starting to crack under the pressure he's bringing to bear. Something has got to give soon.

Well we have Trump now making baseless claims about Clinton lying to the FBI. This is Trump's strategy, make outrageous fake claims. Lie and lie with belligerence. What we see is what we are getting. unfortunately some unsuspecting person is going to get badly hurt in the warped negative energy that Trump is provoking.
