  Flynn

  by Diana

Basically, prosecutors say that by the time agents talked to him, he'd been lying to everybody for two weeks.

Mueller's office says that Flynn, then the national security officer and a retired general, "does not need to be warned it is a crime to lie to federal agents to know the importance of telling them the truth."

And Mueller's office says Flynn continued lying to DOJ after his White House interview. He "made those false statements while represented by counsel and after receiving an explicit warning that providing false information was a federal offense."

Mueller's office says Flynn actually seemed to be pretty good at lying. And prosecutors say his lies raise "the question of why he was lying to the FBI, the Vice President, and others."

(They don't answer that question, but in an earlier filing, the special counsel's office redacted a great deal of information about the extent of Flynn's cooperation.)
