If you listened to "Bag Man," you might see why Mueller's deal with Flynn was right and smart

I think will eventually find out that Flynn gave the prosecutors some invaluable information and, thus it was worth it to them to cut him a sweet deal - just as Eliot Richardson did with Agnew.

But this upside Richardson didn't have: surely Mueller knew that, while the judge wouldn't give Flynn less time than recommended, it was very likely he would give him more.

Mueller's not stupid and he's not corrupt. I have no doubt that, like Richardson, he made the deal he needed to make to achieve the result we will all eventually realize was the right one

he's been pretty much correct on most of Trump/Russia. He basically said that in light of the Flynn cronies being charged on Monday, the information that Flynn gave up to Mueller must have been "gold plated" in order to get the minimal to no jail time recommendation from Mueller.

Sounds like he agrees with your thinking.
