Justin Walker: Mueller’s Memo on Flynn a ‘Message’ to People Like Manafort Cooperate and We’ll Help You

EXCERPT:

HEMMER: "Does any of that forecast what you expect for Manafort at the end of this week?"

WALKER: "Well, it seems like Flynn and Manafort are in somewhat two different boats here. We see from this document that Flynn has been cooperating a lot, 19 meetings with Mueller’s team. Mueller decided not to push for any jail time whatsoever partly as a result of Flynn’s extensive cooperation. Also partly as a result of Flynn’s impressive military background. Contrast that with Manafort. Not only does it seem the Mueller team has not been as pleased with the cooperation from MAnafort. In fact, they’ve accused Manafort of violating the terms of their plea agreement. So we may get more details on Friday. But certainly, I think, today’s document may have been meant to be a message by Mueller to people like Manafort, that if you cooperate, we will help you. And if you don’t, heaven help you."
