Sullivan telling Flynn he sold his country out.
Sullivan describes Flynn’s crime as a “very serious offense” — a high ranking government official lying to the FBI, and doing it “while on the physical premises of the White House.”
One final time, and still sounding skeptical, Sullivan asks Flynn, “If you want to proceed because you are guilty of this offense...”
Flynn says he is, and wants to proceed.
Sullivan accepts the plea.
Mueller prosecutor Brandon van Grack haltingly tells Sullivan it is a “possibility” that Flynn is still cooperating with the special counsel’s office.
Judge Sullivan is giving Flynn yet another chance to delay — now telling him it’s his “prerogative” whether to move forward — because he hasn’t necessarily finished offering helpful information to the government that might mitigate a sentence.

He plead guilty a year ago, how long does cooperation take? Once you are sentenced, that’s it. Flynn can tell them to piss off right after and they can’t touch him. So, there is no more cooperation unless he volunteers out of the goodness of his heart.

See the questions that were just asked in court about Flynn’s exposure with the indictments that were unsealed yesterday. This is just a narrow sliver of all the stuff they have him dead to rights on and can still charge him on if Flynn breaks the agreement.

But what does he have left to give? Even assuming he has stuff on Trump or others, he pled a year ago. How long does it take? Just sounds like nonsense to make the media happy. Trump will pardon him anyway and he knows it.

“I cannot recall any incident where the court has ever accepted the plea of someone who maintained he was not guilty,” Sullivan said.
