Yes, this is true and worth keeping in mind. On the other hand, the fact that Mueller was willing to deal in exchange for testimony implies that he has something substantial to offer.

Trump has never been willing to accept boundaries. Unfortunately for him, this appears to have led to some transgressions that carry with them legal and constitutional implications. I think his expected time in office has been shortened quite a bit by Flynn's decision to cooperate with Mueller. It won't be long before it is all laid out. There is a public interest in wrapping it up.
One person familiar with the mood in the West Wing insisted top White House officials were breathing a sigh of relief.
"People in the building are very happy," the source said. "This doesn't lead back to Trump in any way, shape or form." The source noted that Flynn is being charged for making false statements, but not for any improper actions during the campaign.
"This is a further indication that there's nothing there," the source said. "This is a win for the White House."
A source with knowledge of the legal team's thinking tells CNN the Flynn plea "is not going to be a problem" for the President, though it could be a problem for people who worked with Flynn.

an interesting take on today's developments
Trump has always been prone to delusional thinking and I think the White House staff and his legal team for whatever reasons have decided to use this tendency for their own purposes.
That's a good thing to wonder. It's conceivable that if this keeps unfolding the way it's looking, then someone will need to be a stop-gap executive. Maybe Tillerson. Not sure how it might all play out. It's going to be fascinating and quite frankly, scary. I also fear that the threat of war may have just gone up...
