which could be involved in the de-escalation proceed inings ate hill or he is not going to proceed with the obstruction issue any way to the know? well, it is hard to know what to know what is sgis going on, t some things that we can infer. as ken pointed out the flynn sentencing is going forward and the gates sentencing is not. that tells us that robert mueller feels he is done with mike flynn. so whatever information they need, they would have delayed the sentence after he has co completed the cooperation so that the person can earn credit and the pros ecutor has leverag over that person until they have completely completed the testimony, and it sound like he is done with mike flynn with
