President Trump's former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations with the Russian ambassador last December during the presidential transition, bringing the special counsel's investigation into the president's inner circle.

Mr. Flynn, who appeared in federal court in Washington, acknowledged that he was cooperating with the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into Russian interference in the 2016 election. His plea agreement suggests that Mr. Flynn provided information to prosecutors, which may help advance the inquiry.

    many believe

    I'll bet none believe that they can be charged with insurrection. The talk I've heard over the past thirteen or fourteen months does lead to insurrection, or rebellion, mutiny and sedition charges. There has been a hell of a lot of ugly talk, which could lead to open civil war.

    You're being played for fools. Useful fools, to someone, but fools all the same.
