Seems like there is exculpatory evidence which will have to be produced and the Mueller team is pretty desperate to limit its discovery and use in the broader context of its investigation.
I have speculated before that the 302s supporting the charges of making a false or misleading statements to the FBI were altered. And that Mueller may have just recently become apprised of that. The alteration I suggested was not Flynn's answers but the precise questions he was asked. If a question is ambiguous, subject to alternative interpretations, then it is hard to prove any intent to mislead or give false statements.
Indeed, Comey has stated that the FBI agents believed Flynn was truthful but just "confused" as to which specific conversations or other contacts were the subject of the questions.
If the 302s in the Flynn matter
were not altered there is also the question of how the FBI came to know about the precise subject matter Flynn and Kislyak discussed. It had been assumed that the phone conversation(s) were picked up as "incidental" under a standing FISA order on the Russian Ambassador. But we don't know for a fact that that was the precise process used here. With the revelations of the Carter Page Title I FISA warrant (and the questions surrounding its dubious origins) Flynn himself could have been the target of surveillance without an individual warrant.
Hard to say which scenario is more likely or some combination of both, perhaps. I will say the prohibition on Flynn and his attorneys from even discussing publicly the "new" evidence is suspicious, to me. Flynn has an interest in trying to get his reputation back, after all. And if there were prosecutorial misconduct involved in obtaining his guilty plea (use of improperly obtained or materially altered evidence) the obvious reasoning is that Mueller himself is trying to cover that up. Either for his own or someone else's protection.
The argument that such disclosures would impede other open investigations doesn't hold water, in my view. What Flynn was charged with is a very discrete and limited occurrence. If Flynn's guilty plea is the central plank on which Mueller is trying to build a case...well...that's just too bad. (Perhaps Mueller should revisit his methods of boot-strapping charges based upon tainted evidence. Usually ends badly.)
