WASHINGTON — Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser, backed off his planned testimony in a federal case against a former associate, according to court documents unsealed on Tuesday.
Mr. Flynn had previously admitted that he lied on foreign lobbying disclosure forms submitted to the Justice Department but now is blaming his former lawyers, accusing them of filing inaccurate forms without his knowledge. He did not dispute that the filing itself contained false information.
His latest gambit could provoke another dramatic and risky confrontation with the federal judge who delayed sentencing Mr. Flynn last year in a separate case so he could continue to cooperate with the government in the hopes of a lighter punishment. And it was the latest strange turn in a prosecution that should have run its course without much drama after Mr. Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to investigators and agreed to cooperate with the special counsel’s investigators.
Mr. Flynn’s lawyers might not care what the judge does if t

Collusion collision ;-)
Up yours, you Putin boot licker. The Trump admin knows and understands that the Russians are our enemy. That's why they fired that a-hole.
Below, life-long DEMOCRAT, Obama-appointee, fake patriot, Michael Flynn, on the Russian state-run "news" outlet, Russia Today (RT), of all places!, blamed the creation of ISIS on the United States!
If anything, ISIS was created by the Russians!, in order to give them 'cover' for moving in and setting up base in the strategic oil/gas-rich Middle East.
Up yours, you Putin boot licker.
President Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, received $56,250 in payments during the presidential race for work done for two Russian firms and Kremlin-backed news outlet RT, according to new documents obtained by a House Oversight panel.
Flynn was fired from his White House post last month after misleading Vice President Pence about communications with Russia's ambassador to the U.S.
Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are requesting an additional investigation into newly disclosed payments he received from Russia-based companies, sending a letter detailing the allegations to Trump and the leaders of the Pentagon and FBI.
Flynn spoke at a gala hosted by RT in December 2015, an event he acknowledged during last year’s campaign.
But he refused to say how much he was paid, citing an unwillingness to have his speaking fees publicized.
The documents reveal the retired Army lieutenant general received more than $45,000 for participating in the event.
His speakers bureau, Leading Authorities, took a $11,250 cut.
The event occurred in Russia, and his travel and accommodations were covered.
At the time, he was working on a volunteer basis as a military adviser on Trump’s presidential campaign.
The new documents obtained by the committee also detail that Flynn received $11,250 from Volga-Dnepr Airlines in August 2015, a Russian airfreight company that the United Nations had suspended from its list of approved vendors after a corruption scandal involving an indicted Russian United Nations official.
Flynn received an additional $11,250 payment in October 2015 from the subsidiary of a Russian company specializing in “uncovering Western government spyware,” Kaspersky Lab.
Its founder, Eugene Kaspersky, denies that it has stocked the firm with those with close ties to Russian intelligence.
Flynn, who served as the director of Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 until he was fired from the job in 2014, still had a top-level national security clearance when he performed the work in 2015. ..."
suspended last month, pending further review. ..."

“...now is blaming his former lawyers, accusing them of filing inaccurate forms without his knowledge.”
Works for me. Everyone knows lawyers lie like the dogs they are.
Seems plausible to me that Flynn was ‘sent’ to infiltrate the Trump campaign in a similar (in some ways) manner as Luca Brazi, in the film The Godfather, on orders from HIS boss, was sent to infiltrate his organization’s feared rival.
VITO CORLEONE:
I’m a little worried about this Sollozzo fella. I want you to find out what he’s got under his fingernails, ya’know.
Go to the Tattaglia’s, uh, and ah, make them think that you’re — you’re not too happy with our family and — and find out what you can.
KGB PUTIN:
This Trump fella will be a disaster for us as we seek to expand and rebuild our evil empire. I want you to go there and meet with his people and, uh, make them think that you’re not too happy with our organization and — and do what you can to get in good with them. We’ll take it from there.
It’s an older book but a wonderful read
Wow. I just read Sara Carter’s article on this and it sure is different than that NY Slimes (shocking). Here is a much more detailed take on Flynn’s legal team’s filings:

Sigh. No audiobook, but I just ordered it from our library. (I have a hard time reading)
But...I’m gonna try! Thanks again-
If you have friends have them read it to you.
Flynn now has a lawyer working FOR HIM, and not against him.
I would suggest the judge be VERY careful. Sidney Powell is a brilliant litigator and knows just how to deal with a corrupt judge and prosecutor.
Don’t know who, but somebody knows how to dress this fellow. Sharp sartorial finesse at work.
I got through a few chapters tonight of another book recommended to me by a Freeper: “The Red Decade” written in 1941, so I am trying to condition my eyes a bit with eyedrops and such works a bit so far. (my eyes begin to burn, tear up and water after only a few minutes...but this has helped.
This book is good, about the Communist infiltration of the US in the 1930’s...I really like it, written about that from a contemporary perspective, a subject I am a bit of a history buff on.
If I can get through this, I will try the one you recommended when it comes in. Thanks again...
Heh, reading this current book, not much has changed with the Left since 1941, that is for sure. They lie and lie, then turn on a dime to tell a new “truth” and don’t even look back at the previous lies, as if they never happened!
That’s also a good read. And yes very much still the same
Lol, love that comment.
Everything I’ve read about Flynn I’ve read right here on FR.
precisely. The Mueller cabal.
