- Former Bush AG: Flynn's plea agreement shows there's not "much else there"

Former Bush attorney general: 'Heavy breathing' over Flynn plea agreement 'completely unwarranted' By Mallory Shelbourne - 12/03/17 10:14 AM EST

Michael Mukasey, who served as attorney general under former President George W. Bush, dismissed speculation that former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s plea agreement signals that there are more charges to come in the special counsel’s Russia probe.

“A lot of the heavy breathing and a lot of the speculation is completely unwarranted,” Mukasey told ABC News’s “This Week.”

“That plea agreement does not, to me, indicate that there’s very much else there.”

Mukasey’s remarks come after Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.
