The Flynn charge

Special counsel Robert Mueller has charged former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn with "willfully and knowingly" making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" to the FBI regarding conversations with Russia's ambassador.

  CNN
The charges filed Thursday against Flynn accuse Trump's former national security adviser of lying to FBI agents about conversations he had with Russia's then-ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, during the presidential transition period in late December, 2016. Flynn allegedly misled FBI agents, telling them that he had not asked the Russian ambassador not to escalate tensions between Washington and Moscow in the wake of sanctions imposed by former President Barack Obama, according to the charging document, and also by telling agents that he had not asked Kislyak to delay or defeat a pending resolution at the UN Security Council.

He is expected to plead guilty.  Interesting, no?
