Mueller is on radio silence per election law. Unlike Comey, he is listening to what the law says about influencing an election with "news" just before election day.That's what

This is the most recent Flynn thread I can find...
Today in court, Flynn's lawyers asked for his sentencing to be postponed as long as possible and that they would try and find more ways to cooperate with the prosecution and be generally helpful, after the judge threw a tantrum at him and suggested he was a traitor to his country.
...after almost two dramatic hours in a courtroom discussing his crimes, [Flynn] asked to postpone his sentencing for several months so he can have more of an opportunity to cooperate in federal investigations and attempt to mitigate the judge's disgust with his actions.
"I want to be frank with you, this crime is very serious," federal Judge Emmet Sullivan said in the courtroom Tuesday. "Not only did you lie to the FBI, you lied to senior officials in the incoming administration."...
Prosecutors from special counsel Robert Mueller's office had asked the judge to give Flynn little to no jail time because he had cooperated extensively with them and in at least one other investigation... But Sullivan, of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, veered the sentencing hearing off its course.
After formally accepting Flynn's guilty plea, the judge threw a series of questions at him that highlighted how unusual Flynn's case is and how consequential his actions may be... Sullivan pressed on, his voice growing more shrill as he discussed Flynn's actions. Flynn lied even "in the presence of the White House," Sullivan added. "You can't minimize that." "I am not hiding my disgust, my disdain for your criminal offense," Sullivan said, pausing between each statement.
At one point, Sullivan wrongly suggested Flynn had acted as an illegal agent of a foreign government while serving as national security adviser. "That undermines everything this flag over here stands for. Arguably, you sold your country out," Sullivan said. Later, the judge walked that comment back...
Following Sullivan's courtroom reprimands Tuesday, Flynn took a break to meet privately with his attorneys. When they returned to the courtroom, Flynn's legal team told the judge they'd like more time before his sentencing.
Interestingly the judge, Emmet Sullivan, was originally appointed by Reagan, then promoted by Bush Snr, and then promoted again by Clinton. So this is a reasonably bipartisan, perhaps somewhat conservative leaning, judge, who is throwing a tantrum at Flynn and accusing him of treason."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

Here's another interesting fact, or should I say strange fact. The President is showing nothing but love for the good General, and yet he has been cooperating completely with the government from the get go, but he hates and expresses his hate for his old buddy Michael Cohen. What is going on there I wonder.Last edited by JimL; 12-18-2018, 11:26 PM.

Originally posted by JimL View PostEven Fox News nutcase Judge Jeanine Pirro expected this Judge, Judge Sullivan, to exonerate Gen Flynn. How embarrassing! This Judge is so disgusted with what he knows concerning the crimes commited of the good general that it looks as though Flynn is going to get Jail time no matter what. The Judge basically gave him another 3 months in the hope that he can do more to help out the prosecution because as far as he was concerned the Generals crimes outwiegh any cooperation he gave to the government thus far.
