It's been reported that he's friends with Peter Strozk.
I believe he was also the Judge presiding over the case against Flynn. Flynn had pleaded guilty but before Contreras could finish the proceedings against Flynn....the scumbag Judge got booted off the case. No explanation was given as to why he was removed.
I think we all see this for the deep state stacked deck that it is. I really hope there's a special cell near the hottest place on earth waiting for all these crooked bass-turds.
See my post at #53. You probably already know it, but there is so much going on in this thing that people missed things like this.
Indeed you are correct. Here’s the article from Fox.
To be fair to Contreras, the court filings, from the charging document to the plea agreement, took only a few days. It was a completely canned deal, without presentation of evidence or arguments to Contreras, or any sort of defense offered by Flynn. Contreras just rubberstamped a few pages of bare-bones paperwork. He might be a swamp thing, but for the Flynn case, he was basically a filing cabinet.
The very brevity of that process is why a diligent judge would have to review in full the evidence behind the case, before determining an appropriate sentence (the charges amount to Flynn falsely denying that he asked the Russians not to harm US interests; if that is all Mueller has, the sentence should be nothing.) Contreras might have been recused from the sentencing phase due to his Strzok connection. Or perhaps someone did not want Contreras to see the full case.
