Flynn has been bankrupted. He had to sell his house to pay his legal fees leading up to his guilty plea.
A private citizen has no chance against the full weight of the government. Do not judge General Flynn on this. There are a lot of things he is due criticism on, but this is not one of them.
HE SHOULD OF TOLD THE JUDGE THAT, AND SAID ONE AGENT SAID HE DID NOT LIE. PLUS MULEHEAD THREATENED TO GO AFTER HIS SON.
This is not something you can say in a sentencing hearing where you've pled guilty in a cooperative deal with the prosecutor.
You can only say this if you're the defendant and you're in an adversarial relationship with the prosecutor.
This is why Sullivan went overboard trying to get Flynn to vacate his plea deal.
I suspect the judge knows all of that intimately. The erratic behavior of the judge makes me deeply suspicious...and I am already suspicious.
