Michael Flynn’s sentencing was postponed to give him time to cooperate more fully with federal prosecutors

One year ago this month, General Michael Flynn, Donald Trump’s national security advisor, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations he’d had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak while working on the Trump transition team, and, today, he was supposed to be sentenced. That, however, never happened.

As I understand it, things were moving along somewhat normally until someone on Flynn’s legal team, echoing a recent Fox News talking point, made the claim that FBI agents had tricked Flynn into perjuring himself during their questioning of him, ostensibly by not telling him that they already possessed audio of the General speaking with Kislyak. The idea that the FBI is under any obligation to warn suspected criminals that they’re about to commit perjury is, of course, laughable, but apparently Flynn’s team thought that they’d give it a shot. And, by the sound of it, it didn’t exactly go over well with Judge Emmet Sullivan, who asked the attorney if, in his opinion, Flynn really was “entrapped by the FBI.” Flynn’s lawyer responded, “No, your honor.” The Judge then asked Flynn if he knew at the time that lying to the FBI was a crime, to which the General responded, “I was aware.” And, with that, several months of framing by Trump, and members of the far-right media, was immediately undone… There was no so-called “perjury trap.” Flynn knew that he was lying to the FBI. He knew the penalty for lying. And he did it anyway.

Judge Sullivan didn’t stop there, though. He kept right on going, calling Flynn’s crimes, which included being an “undeclared foreign agent” for the Turkish government while working in the White House, “very serious,” and even raising the question of whether or not they might qualify as “treason.” [Sullivan later apologized for broaching the subject of treason, which can carry with it a death sentence.]

After saying, “Arguably you sold your country out,” Sullivan told Flynn that he was inclined to sentence him to prison, in spite of the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had requested that he serve no time. And it was at this point, with people outside the courthouse chanting “lock him up,” that Sullivan suggested that Flynn go back to Mueller and keep cooperating. “If you want to postpone this, and come back at some later point, that’s fine with me,” Judge Sullivan said. “I have to caution you that the sentence imposed today may not be the same sentence you would get after cooperation ends.”

This, I think it’s safe to say, is not what the Qanon folks, and Trumpists like Jeanine Pirro, thought would happen today. Yesterday, Pirro was suggesting on Fox News that Judge Sullivan, who she described as “a jurist unafraid of the swamp,” would trow out Flynn’s guilty plea altogether. Sullivan, Pirro said, “has a track record of calling out prosecutorial misconduct,” and, as such, he would not “tolerate (the) injustice or (the) abuse of power” shown by the Special Counsel.

Well, that’s not what happened. Sullivan, saying that Flynn’s actions, “undermine everything (that) our flag… stands for,” pretty much told the General that he’d better go back to Mueller and keep talking. It’s impossible to know, of course, but it sounds to me as tough Sullivan felt, based on the unredacted filings that he’d read, that Flynn, even after his 19 meetings with investigators, still had more to say. And, it sounds as though, Flynn agreed, ultimately taking Sullivan’s advice, and asking for another 90 days to work with prosecutors. [Apparently he didn’t like the idea of being sentenced to prison.]

Donald Trump, by the way, had a message for General Flynn this morning. “Good luck today in court,” he said in a tweet, seemingly confident that, whatever Flynn had said to investigators over the course of those 19 interviews, hadn’t implicated him. I’m curious as to how Trump came to be so confident that Flynn hadn’t “flipped” on him, “despite (the) tremendous pressure,” but one suspects he’s being fed information from inside the Department of Justice through men like Matthew Whitaker. At any rate, it’s interesting to see how the President is treating Flynn in comparison with how he’s treating Michael Cohen, who Trump has repeatedly called a “rat” for talking with prosecutors. [I mean, Flynn talked with prosecutors 19 times, and didn’t get called a rat, right? I’m curious as to why that is.] Speaking of rats in the administration, did you happen to see Sarah Huckabee Sanders today, defending Trump’s calling Cohen a rat? “Seems like a pretty appropriate term,” the White House Spokesperson said, marking yet a new low.

So, yeah, that was today. A federal judge, saying that he was finding it difficult to hide his his “disgust” and “disdain,” told Michael Flynn that he’d “sold (his) country out.” And, in spite of this, our President, and his administration, continue to praise the man, saying that he’d been “ambushed” by the FBI, and tricked into a “perjury trap” by deep-state Democratic investigators.

Here, if you’ve yet to see it, is footage of Sarah Huckabee Sanders telling the White House press corps today, “We wish General Flynn well,” then going on to agree with the President that those who offer evidence against him are “rats”… We live in truly crazy times.

    It looks like former US Attorney Joyce Alene agrees with you.

    “[Flynn’s] lawyers tried a sentencing strategy and it misfired really badly.”

    The New York Times also reports that, in addition to protesters chanting “Lock him up,” there was also a group of counter-protesters shouting “USA!, USA!” …

    So there, in a nutshell, is the current state of U.S. political dialogue.

    I can only assume that it wasn’t what Mueller wanted, as he basically recommended parole for Flynn. I’m not at all convinced he has anymore to offer. Even if he told lies along the way, he was interviewed at least nineteen times. I’m afraid the judge overriding Mueller’s recommendation will have a chilling effect on potential witnesses in one of the other seventeen investigations. Lord knows there are plenty of dirty characters with stories to tell about the Trump family.

    Flynn should go to prison. His military pension should be forfeited. He swore an oath to preserve and protect the constitution–that means following the fucking law. We are going to be giving the traitor a pension for the rest of his life… He is in fact no better than Benedict Arnold who sold our country out for money–that is what Flynn did. He was an agent for a foreign power. His “business” associates are probably going to go to jail. Flynn was getting paid to turn Gullen over to the Turks (probably for a show trial and then death). There is nothing redeemable about Flynn, and those who want him to walk are simply complicit in undermining the rule of law–can’t be anymore pro-Trump than that.

    Just like with Patreous, if you serve the ruling elite, violations of the law don’t matter.

    Just a year end reminder that our country is at war in 17 different countries. Flynn’s actions were taken during war time. We tortured and imprisoned Chelsea Manning for over 7 years because she exposed war crimes–a duty she had as a soldier (see Nurenberg standards). We dishonorably discharged Bowe Bergdahl who had the misfortune of being held captive by the Taliban for 5 years.

    The judge referenced bad things in the file. One can only imagine what Flynn has already told them, and what they’ve discovered as a result of this investigation. Whatever it was, it apparently spooked the judge and he second-guessed Mueller.

    Cheap purist morality?

The lying cheaters are the ones that previously demanded moral absolutism – and now is our chance to give it to them!

    From NBC News:

    “The idea that Flynn holds a lot of secrets about the deep state and won’t face serious consequences is important to the Qanon community,” said Travis View, a conspiracy theory researcher. “They’ve been banking on Sullivan throwing out the charges.”

    In the last week, conservative media had hailed Sullivan as a hero who was about to unmask the purported misdeeds of the Mueller investigation.

    The notion that Flynn could end up exonerated found its way to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who guessed on Fox News Sunday this week that Flynn’s case would be thrown out of court.

    “I would not be surprised a bit if the conviction of Flynn is overturned, because of the Justice Department and FBI’s misconduct,” Issa said.

    The theory began back in February, with a series of articles onconservative news websites lauding Sullivan as a “government misconduct expert” who may be looking to get Flynn to change his plea.

    “Emmet G. Sullivan is one judge who is ready, willing and able to hold Mr. Mueller accountable to the law and who has the wherewithal to dismiss the case against General Flynn — for egregious government misconduct — if Mueller doesn’t move to dismiss it himself,” wrote lawyer Sidney Powell on the Daily Caller on Feb. 16.

    Similar articles from the same week in the Washington Examiner and National Review spawned additional speculation that Sullivan might be indicating that Flynn should change his plea.

    From there, far-right message boards and members of the Qanon conspiracy community have been “banking on Sullivan throwing out the charges,” View said.

    “This is actually one of those instances in which the conspiracy theory was sparked by respectable conservative publications, and then spread downward into the fever swamps,” View said.

    “This is different from how conspiracy theories typically spread, in which fringe forums develop a theory, and it spreads to mainstream social networks like Twitter, and then to fringe publications.”

    View said that a National Review article by Andrew McCarthy on Feb. 13 was a major catalyst for believers that Sullivan would vacate Flynn’s plea, even if that wasn’t McCarthy’s intention.

    John Brown– people who cooperate with major investigations get a lot of accommodation if they help take down the big guys. Not just the fancy guys. And not just the noble ones. My objection, to be clear, was going against Mueller’s rec (which is unusual and MORE punitive) and the use of the word treason, which is extreme base don what we know. It’s possible something in the files led the judge to that conclusion as Mark suggests.

    You misunderstand my point about absolutist moralism. I’ve made it here many times, in many contexts. Dont have time for it again. I would say our righteous outrage makes us vulnerable to manipulation (a mark) based on strongly held beliefs. We have learned that and should, at the minimum, be examining our own righteousness.

    Don’t get me wrong. They could put Flynn in front of a firing squad for all I care. I don’t even support the death penalty or consider myself a great patriot but fuck that guy. His treason is even deeply offensive to a guy like me. More than anyone in the Trump cartel, that guy is the worst. A career military man who fought the cold war and sold his soul to Russia. It’s insane.

    You’re making a mistake because I have a gut, and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else’s brain can ever tell me.

    Merry Christmas to EOS, HW and FF.

    You’re getting what you’ve always wanted.

    Now it’s just King Trump and his Family .

    HW, I think the only head your in (or getting) is your own. I’m pretty sure you really are just a sad little person living in your mothers basement, trolling right-wing blogs for nonsense you can cut and paste. I have conservative friends whom I disagree with but respect. Even they can’t defend Trump anymore. There is no plan to his actions. There is no logic. There is no good outcome possible. You are just a reactionary turd of a human whose self-loathing seems to be bottomless. You just love the chaos and abuse. So merry Christmas. I hope this post gives you a chub. I hope you get some help in the new year and find some love.

    What’s going on in this country is insane. And we have people running our country that don’t know what they’re doing, they’re grossly incompetent, and it’s time. We have to make change, real change. Not Obama change, we have to make change.

    Bob, nothing you said has anything to do with me. I live in my own home that I bought. I don’t care about you or your conservative friends. I don’t need “help” and I have plenty of love in my life. You sound insane with hatred.

    Dirty Peter technically satisfying the requirements again. How can you stand to be on another man’s jock like this all the time? You must think about me 24/7.

    HW– What makes you so sure it’s Pete? I have heard otherwise. Keep guessing.

    It sure seems like HW. is just having a bit of fun, and HW is the one whose head has been populated. So much so it’s gone to his gut. Pete’s long gone and HW is still thinking about him 24/7.

    Bob, it’s somewhat sweet and naive that you imagine abusive, paranoid assholes don’t find women to love them. Not true in my experience, however. I think we’d all like to believe the world is more just and outcomes are more warranted than they are.

    It’s Dirty Peter or it’s someone behaving just like him. Either way it’s ill.

    You are one of the most abusive people I have found online, Jean. It’s sick what you do and then project the same onto someone who you hate for having a different outlook. How is it abusive to defend myself against your abuse? You made a conscious decision to declare war against me. You can’t bitch out now because I decided to begin defending myself.

    “Warlord. I don’t believe you.”

    You don’t believe I have a beautiful home and a loving companion? Believe what you want if it relieves the cognitive dissonance.

    “I know you are but what am I?”

    “I’m rubber, you are glue, whatever you say bounces of me and sticks on you.”

    HW special sauce is circular logic + 7th grade level provocation.

    I wouldn’t, however, insult 7th graders by comparing HW’s intelligence and discernment to theirs.

    No, no. Objectively you accuse me of what you are guilty of. It’s a fact. You and many others attacked me from the very start when I only stated my opinion backed up with facts. That’s all I did when I came here and you all started yapping at me like a pack of hyenas. I thought grown men and women in this town would be capable of discussing current events but you turned it into a personal war against me. It’s all on record what you did so I don’t see the point in trying to lie.

    Maybe this thread would be a good place to post comments regarding Flynn.
