At the Federal courthouse waiting in line for the #MichaelFlynn sentencing hearing - the line is long and lots of supporters have come today. Looks like the courtroom will be full.
In the overflow room now for #MikeFlynn It’s also full - all equipment off
Sylvester ..... I'll be there! General Flynn should be totally exonerated and restored to his post in the White House before Comey, Strzok, Yates and their hatchetmen unmercifully attacked him. My faith in the justice system is hanging on the judge's decision today.
Darren Samuelsohn (Politico)...... Judge Sullivan offers Flynn a chance to postpone this sentencing hearing to rethink his guilty plea. Flynn replies, "“I appreciate that, but no your honor.”
Steven Portnoy (CBS Radio)..... Sullivan now asks Flynn's attorney if he believes his client was entrapped by the FBI.
"No, your honor," says the lawyer.
Judge is still probing, asking Flynn's attorneys:
"My question is, how is raising those contentions about the circumstances [of the FBI interview] consistent with his acceptance of responsibility?"
Judge Sullivan has sent Flynn and his attorneys back to their table.
He says he wants to now go over Flynn's plea agreement and the facts that went into it.
Sullivan asks Flynn if he was aware that lying to the FBI was illegal.
"I was aware," Flynn says.
He is NOT taking Sullivan's offer to withdraw his guilty plea.
