The judge who took a guilty plea from President Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn last week has recused himself ahead of a sentencing hearing.

A court spokeswoman confirmed to Politico and other outlets that the case was reassigned after Judge Rudolph Contreras, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, recused himself.





Wow.

A withdrawal of the guilty plea would NOT be a shock at this point.

Judge Emmet Sullivan, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, was randomly selected to take his place in the case.

The switch comes after Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russians in the month before Trump took office.
Isn't it impossible to find a non dem appointed judge in DC? This is besides the point though. I think Flynn's case will be thrown out. So they are trying to show they are impartial. Which is still the fox guarding the hen house.

Political leanings are probably not the reason, though they could be...personal knowledge is likely.

quote:

"shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned." The section also provides that a judge is disqualified "where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding";
