Flynn Judge Fumes at Mueller, Demands Flynn be in Court Within Days for Likely Showdown; Could Flynn Walk?

The federal judge in the Gen. Michael Flynn case is fuming at U.S. Special Robert Mueller.

Judge Emmet Sullivan has scheduled a hearing for next week and directed Flynn to attend.

The judge could be perturbed because Mueller has failed to initiate a pre-sentencing report from federal probation. Such a report is the backbone of all federal sentencings and according to the court docket, should have been completed months ago.

Flynn cannot be sentenced without a pre-sentencing report where he is allowed to note special circumstances for the judge to weigh prior to sentencing.

The report normally takes months to compile.

It is unknown why Mueller has delayed the process. It is quite unorthodox.

It is likewise very rare to call Flynn — or any defendant — to a status hearing after a plea deal.

Could Sullivan vacate Flynn’s guilty plea at the July 10th hearing?

Anything is possible.

Especially when a federal judge is pissed.

Zoe Tillman ✔ @ZoeTillman · 12h In Michael Flynn's case, the lawyers said last week they weren't ready for sentencing, but asked to start the process of preparing a presentence report. Judge asked, huh? In new filing, lawyers explained they plan to ask for a sentencing hearing "promptly" once they *are* ready pic.twitter.com/alTwaYhwa5

Zoe Tillman ✔ @ZoeTillman Update: After the back and forth in writing between the judge and the lawyers about the status of Michael Flynn's case, the judge has now set a hearing for July 10, and says Flynn should be there pic.twitter.com/ehD2HbVn0Q

Hope it is. Past performance isn’t necessarily a reliable indicator and we can’t expect common sense to prevail where courts are involved.

That's for sure. I was just made aware (by this thread) that Federal courts do not have to give you a jury trial if the sentence is going to be less than six months. That seems a direct contradiction of the Sixth Amendment.

Courts literally lie.
