U.S. prosecutors and defense attorneys for Michael T. Flynn asked a federal judge Tuesday to postpone Flynn’s long-delayed sentencing until after the Justice Department’s internal watchdog issues a report in coming weeks on the handling of the FBI’s investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016.
Sentencing for President Trump’s former national security adviser is set for Dec. 18, and federal prosecutors were scheduled to notify the court Monday whether they would reverse their recommendation of probation and instead ask for prison time for the retired three-star Army general.
However, in a terse, two-page filing, both sides said Tuesday evening that they expect the forthcoming report by Inspector General Michael Horowitz, due Dec. 9, “will examine several topics related” to a Flynn defense’s request to find prosecutors in contempt for alleged misconduct.

Great idea!
That’ll drive the leftist crazy-ier.
That’s what the conversation with the Russian ambassador likely was as well... an after the fact excuse for snooping on Flynn ...which probably goes back at least as far as his book ‘Field of Fight’ cowritten with Ledeen.
Why?
“The Field of Fight details the cooperation between Iran, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the PLO, and Russia. To give but two of many examples, Iran funds Hezbollah, which trains al-Qaeda terrorists. The British found an Iranian terrorist manual in Bosnia that had been used for training militants in Sudan. It detailed the use of sophisticated surveillance devices provided to terrorists by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Flynn and Ledeen detail the cooperation between Iran, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the PLO, and Russia.”

If you look at the arguments posed by Schiff’s secondhand whistle leakers, they center around snowflake bureaucrats sniffing about how hurt their feelings are that they had been cut from the loop and how terrible that the nation was thus deprived of their infinite wisdom. How dare Trump refuse to drink exclusively from their nipple...
I’ll point out that was the very same argument posed by Ambassador Joe Wilson against Cheney, etc., in the Niger affair. The ‘offense’ was to bypass the bureaucrats.

The same argument was used by Powell assistant Lawrence Wilkerson in his leaks about Powell’s 2003 speech.

Thanks for posting...
The FBI can interview you without your attorney present, fake their records, and then send you to prison on fake evidence. That’s what happened to Flynn.
That's the whole point. In that particular case he WASN'T under surveillance. It was the Russian ambassador (Kislyak) who was under surveillance, and U.S. intelligence recorded Flynn on the phone with him.
Flynn knew this better than anyone else ... which is why he asked the FBI dopes (when they interviewed him) why they were wasting their time with him, when they could just check the records from the Kislyak surveillance if they wanted to know what he discussed with him.
What made this reckless on Flynn's part was that he was carrying on this conversation on a cell phone call from a Third World dump ... which meant half the world was probably listening in on it.
“Trump ought to pardon Flynn and RE-HIRE him as National Security Advisor.”
Never should have fired Flynn in the first place. He was talked into it by Sally Yates. Just one of several missteps by Trump when he first took office. Sessions was talked into recusal by Deep State DOJ attorneys. Admit it, this was a very well orchestrated Coup.
