Oh I hope he spends some time in prisonThe recommendation is actually 0 to 6 months. The judge can decide, just to teach the felon a lesson, he could spend a couple months in jail. We have yet to know.Now, wouldn't that be something.
One more figleaf dropping off Mueller's reputation....(Pardon me if the image sickens you.....)
1. "How A Plea Reversal From Michael Flynn Could Uncover More Federal Corruption
2. ...Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order in United States v. Flynn that, while widely unnoticed, reveals something fascinating: A motion by Michael Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea based on government misconduct is likely in the works.
3. ...Sullivan quietly directed Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs team to provide Flynnâs attorneys âany exculpatory evidence,â...
4. On November 30, 2017, prosecutors working for Mueller charged former Trump national security advisor Flynn with lying to FBI agents. The following day, Flynn pled guilty before federal judge Rudolph Contreras. Less than a week later â and without explanation â Flynnâs case was reassigned to Judge Emmet G. Sullivan.
5. One of Sullivanâs first orders of business was to enter a standing order, on December 12, 2017, directing âthe government to produce to defendant in a timely manner â including during plea negotiations â any evidence in its possession that is favorable to defendant and material either to defendantâs guilt or punishment.â
6. ....the special counsel charged Flynn with lying to FBI agents on January 24. While the charge did not identify the FBI agents involved, we know that Peter Strzok conducted the January interview that eventually led to the criminal case against Flynn. Strzok formed a part of Muellerâs team until he was removed following the discovery of hostile text messages concerning Trump, including a planned âinsurance policyâ should Trump win the White House.
7. Obama political holdover Sally Yatesâ involvement in the case raises additional concerns. While Strzok and Mueller initially indicated they believed Flynn had been truthful, Yates, while serving as acting attorney general, had directed Strzok to interview Flynn and had pushed for charges against Flynn...
8. ...Flynn should withdraw his guilty plea and suggests that Sullivan, as âthe countryâs premier jurist experienced in the abuses of our Department of Justice, . . . is the best person to confront the egregious government misconduct that has led to and been perpetrated by the Mueller-Weissmann âinvestigationâ and to right the injustices that have arisen from it.â
9. In his revised standing order issued on Friday, Sullivan dropped a lengthy footnote, detailing the case law and setting forth his position that, if material exculpatory evidence is withheld during plea negotiations, a defendant is entitled to withdraw his guilty plea.
10. Flynnâs attorneys now know what to do should Muellerâs team disclose such evidence. After the spanking Sullivan gave the prosecutors in the Stevens case, Mueller is on notice as well."
How A Michael Flynn Plea Reversal Could Uncover Federal Corruption
Memo to Mueller:
"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
A Republican President.
Michael Flynn has offered extensive cooperation in the Russia investigation and shouldnât spend any time in prison, Muellerâs team said in a court filing on Tuesday.
You know what I find hilarious? He's the mother fucker who was chanting lock her up. And he almost got himself locked up. You couldn't write this. It'd be too unbelievable.
Flynn â who joined in chants of âlock her upâ against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Republican National Convention â admitted that he made a false statement to the FBI on Jan. 24, 2017. Flynn had denied that heâd asked the Russian ambassador not to retaliate over U.S. sanctions the Obama administration imposed in December 2016 in response to Russiaâs interference in the U.S. presidential election.
Flynn admitted in his plea that he spoke to the Russians at the direction of Trump transition team officials.
