Was Michael Flynn, the now former National Security Advisor for three weeks, a Russian agent? Was he a dupe of Putin's operatives? Was he a potential target of blackmail? Does he know about any questionable contact by the Russian hierarchy of his former boss, Trump? If so, will he write a book about it?
