Yeah, looks like Sullivan took it upon himself to blow up the whole deal.

Thanks everyone for this thread.

What the hell is Flynn so guilty of? I cannot fathom it. Judge has unredacted documents so has much more info than we do. Which makes me wonder what is the Judge actually upset about?

IOW, what was Flynn’s lie to the FBI that he himself considers a lie? And what did he do wrong as a lobbyist besides not file a form that most companies fail to file (this doesn’t rise to level of prison time)?

Who has threatened whom with what?

From what I’ve seen, my guess is this:

The Mueller lawyers want this to be dismissed or for Flynn to change his plea, which is why they indicted two Turks yesterday so they could then jump on him for FARA for Turkey. If he pleads guilty to FARA now and is indicted, it could possible be double jeopardy to indict him again.

The judge is in the middle of this and I think he wants Flynn to change his plea - Flynn won’t because if Trump pardons him it’s very questionable if Mueller can bring anything against Flynn again.

The judge headfaked Flynn in order to get a postponement by making him delay further. Mueller thus can keep this crap going another 90 days while the FARA case with the Turks goes down.

Just a lot of moving parts, but the truth eventually must come out.

Why did General Flynn get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks

Turkey has been a member of NATO since 1952.

But Turkish President Erdogan has been getting friendly with Russia and Iran so there’s some question about Turkey’s commitment to NATO these days.

While presiding over the Ted Stevens case Judge Sullivan initiated a criminal contempt investigation of the prosecution team. He has a history of not tolerating dirty prosecutors.

Gen Flynn “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President...”

FLYNN knows where the bodies are buried.
FLYNN must tell of all Crimes he knows about.
FLYNN WAS IN WHAT POSITION IN THE OBAMA ADMIN!
FLYNN was Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency
July 24, 2012- August 7, 2014

Summary I read has the judge tuning angrily on Flynn and damning him as an unregistered foreign agent. This will not end well.

Yes. Only the popcorn-passing Pollyannas are spinning this as a win.

My take is simple:

It is irrelevant if Flynn dud something wrong. This whole thing was an engineered entrapment by a politicized IC under Obama, to oust Flynn and hurt Trump.

It would be thrown out if we had rule of law.

Here’s my take.

1. Sullivan was begging Flynn to withdraw his plea deal because Sullivan knows he is innocent. That is why he all but said, “Your attorneys have been screwing you. They could have had this thing dismissed well over a year ago.” That was a change up right down the middle of the plate after being told what the pitch was going to be. Flynn whiffed at it. One of his attorney friends will clue him in about what the judge was trying to do.

2. Flynn’s attorneys have been milking him dry by stretching out the case so they could maximize billings when this case could have been dismissed very early on.

Sullivan did not seem to understand that Flynn did nothing for Turkey once he was National Security Adviser.
