As expected
The point of running this PsyOp is to gain media exposure and get the idea to spread. If Fox picks it up, that narrative gets to its target audience of one man, Donald J Trump.
This illegal influence operation indicates Flynn still wants the VP position and that he isn’t Trump’s fully decided on choice.
As for the likelihood Flynn is successful, that depends on if this story generates the conversations he wants Trump to see on TV-knowing full well that is how to shape Don’s decision making. I give that a low probability of success as Flynn brings nothing to the table but added headaches over adding another convicted felon at the top of the GOP ticket.
