Is there anything Rick Santorum won't defend?

The Donald J. Trump Foundation has agreed to close following a court decision that allowed a lawsuit against the foundation to move forward, the New York attorney general’s office announced Tuesday.

The attorney general, Barbara Underwood, accused the foundation of “a shocking pattern of illegality” that was “willful and repeated” and included unlawfully coordinating with Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

“This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests,” Ms. Underwood said.

She has sought to bar Mr. Trump and his three eldest children from serving on the boards of other New York charities in the future. The foundation’s remaining assets are to be redistributed.

Sounds like the Judge feels Flynn's actions might rise to the level of treason which may influence his sentencing decision.

It's worth noting (because most outlets aren't even talking about it) that Mueller changed his recommendation after Flynn & his lawyers tried to throw the FBI under the bus. It might just be semantics, but Mueller dropped the "no jail time" specific from his response. Again, it's minor, but it's interesting and maybe meaningful.

Abramson didn't mention this specifically, but he notes that the judge was well aware of the possibility of a pardon for Flynn, and that Flynn had been dialing back his cooperation recently. Abramson called this a brilliant move by the judge, because it compels Flynn to keep cooperating, and makes it harder for Trump to issue a pardon (politically speaking).
