I love Trump supporters like you. You verify my belief about their level of intelligence. Mike Pence, trying to save his own behind, says that Flynn lied to him about his contacts with the Russians. Pence calls Flynn a liar.

from the Times' article:

The White House had been bracing for charges against Mr. Flynn in recent weeks, particularly after charges were filed against three other former Trump associates: Paul Manafort, his campaign chairman; Rick Gates, a campaign aide; and George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser.

Article is by Michael S. Schmidt, Matt Apuzzo and Maggie Haberman,ball known to have high level White House sources.

And then there's this later paragraph referring back to the interview with White House lawyer Ty Cobb, which suggests Trump can't save Flynn, from what?

The White House has said that neither Mr. Flynn nor other former aides have incriminating information to provide about Mr. Trump. “He likes General Flynn personally, but understands that they have their own path with the special counsel,” a White House lawyer, Ty Cobb, said in an interview last month with The New York Times. “I think he would be sad for them, as a friend and a former colleague, if the process results in punishment or indictments. But to the extent that that happens, that’s beyond his control.”

It is Flynn's work for the Turks that puts him most at peril of wearing stripes.
Especially since those efforts are not just about influencing the election but reflect the good value for money spent keeping Erdogan so chummy with the current administration.
