Sure seems like a huge difference in opinions about what the judge did. Joe and Victoria think the judge “gutted” Flynn.

Judge in Flynn case went after the wrong people: Joe diGenova - YouTube

At times, the judge seemed to implore Mr. Flynn to reopen the deal he made with special counsel Robert Mueller, implying that there was reason to believe his guilty plea had been wrongfully arranged.

Is this before or after the asshat judge accused Flynn of being a traitor?

Cardinal Richelieu - If you give me six sentences written by the most innocent of men I will find something in them with which to hang him.

“He pled as he did because the more serious - and provable - chanrge of being an unregistered foreign agent for Turkey”

Well then, I guess we should expect the Podestas and the Red Queen to be headed off to jail on charges of being unregistered foreign agents? I mean I hear what you’re saying, but that’s a law that doesn’t get used very often, and when it does it’s usually a fine.

Or when the Iranian VJ ran the White House and MB Huma “assisted” Hillary.

“””One way or another, Mr. Flynn faces a gloomy future. Either he has to revisit the plea—perhaps exposing his son to hostile action from the special counsel, and certainly increasing his legal costs—or insist on sentencing, about which Judge Sullivan was hardly encouraging, whatever happens in the Virginia case.”””


What is the ‘Virginia Case’?

Is the ‘Virginia Case’ about Flynn being an unregistered foreign lobbyist for Turkey?

Interesting. This is a very different telling of this event than others are reporting.

“The FBI is not a political formation and should be regarded as just another secret police as we have seen in other countries.”

After BHO administration, what has been revealed about the FBI, DOJ, even certain media and US Senators as pigeons and participants,...your observation appears right on. There is a reason TWO agents were sent to interview Flynn, with out recording. TWO “witnesses” coordinating/fabricating the story they want to tell and preserve in written form will be considered irrefutably credible over the complaints of the charged defendant.

Flynn was only doing what he saw busloads of other well dressed, uncharged lying people still walking around DC do. At worst, he was one of them, except he wasn’t. Once he associated himself with a duly-elected President who had no allegiance to the power structure (aka the swamp), and was openly hostile to its corruption - he became an important pawn in the effort to oust Trump. Control-freak BHO sent the secret police out to Flynn ... yes, you hit the head on the nail this time.

“Imo, this has to be some sort of fraud upon the court for political reasons.”

Interesting. Hence Muleface too would have to be in jail with Flynn for agreeing to the fraud upon the court.

For once I would like to see someone like Flynn go in without a lawyer and represent himself. I am sure there is a subway system nearby filled with lawyers...some very good ones, who would love to get professional exposure in helping him advise him pro bono.

“which Flynn couldn’t afford to defend.”

Is that the way it is? Your innocence is proven by dollars, not the facts?

N-I-C-E TAKE ---- Flynn will walk in March because he got caught on a process crime,
that was a) not a crime, b) entrapment. Mueller is sweating and staying up nights over this.

HAT TIP DESERT RHINO----Obama's intel agencies were not uncovering some “threat” to the USA.
They brazenly used the tools meant to safeguard the safety and security of Americans
to conduct surveillance and to interfere with legitimate political opposition.

Something one would expect from some Third World tinpot warlord.

This was a full abuse of Gen Flynn’s legal rights as a US citizen. Even worse, it was vile political abuse.

Obama's police state machinations, (and the calculated Clinton moves to get-rich-quick that included Obama),
stinks of opportunism and greed.

Thanks.

Interesting in that that was the take that the first two (non-MSM) reporters I had heard as they came out of the courtroom had.

Both before and after. Also, the judge didn’t directly accuse him of treason, but rather asked if that was what the prosecuting team had considered.

re: “Flynn is a DEMOCRAT.......and he has DEMOCRAT LAWYERS!”

The message here from ALL of this is then: “Stay on the plantation.”

The picture of Flynn siting at a table with a bunch of Russians and Jill Stein comes to mind ... anybody got that picture handy?
