Judge Sullivan would love to burn Flynn

LINK

People on this board think Sullivan is an ally or sympathetic to Flynn for some reason? Sullivan is 100% on the prosecutions side and Flynn could still possibly get jail time. Let me say this, that you folks live in fantasy land and completely miscalculated the 302 business etc.. I support General Flynn and know he lied to protect his President but let me tell you, this judge was simply crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s by asking for the 302 reports.

Here is the judge today - read closely

“All along, you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security advisor to the president of the United States," Sullivan told Flynn, referring to the other case, for which Flynn was not charged.

"That undermines everything this flag over here stands for," the judge said. "Arguably you sold your country out."

Sullivan told Flynn that if he did not accept an offer to postpone his ongoing sentencing hearing, "I cannot assure you that if you proceed today, you will not receive a sentence of incarceration."

"This is a very serious offense," said Sullivan.

"A high ranking senior official of the government making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation while in the White House," Sullivan said.

"Very serious crime," Sullivan told the 60-year-old retired Army lieutenant general. "Can't minimize that."

"I'm not hiding my disgust, my disdain," the judge said.

"Hypothetically could he have been charged with treason?" Sullivan asked prosecutor Brandon Van Grack.

Van Grack answered, "Because It's such a serious question, I am hesitant from answering."

Sullivan later said: "I wasn't suggesting he was committing treason. I was just curious if he could have been charged. Lots of conspiracy theories out there. Not taking any uncalled offenses into consideration. Was trying to consider benefit. I'm not suggesting treason. "

Van Grack said, "The government has no reason to believe the defendant committed treason."

Here is the part where Flynn and his Lawyer deny entrapment by FBI.

Before that, Van Grack, told Sullivan that "it remains a possibility" that Flynn could continue to cooperate with Mueller's ongoing investigations even after being sentenced.

Van Grack noted that Flynn, in addition to other significant assistance to Mueller, had "provided substantial assistance" to federal prosecutors in Virginia, who on Monday revealed charges against former Flynn associates Bijan Kian and Kamil Alptekin.

They are charged with conspiring to smear and win the extradition of exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen at the behest and funding of the government of Turkey.

Sullivan began the hearing by pushing Flynn and his lawyers on their suggestion in a recent court filing that he might have been unfairly treated by the FBI in the case, which was lodged by Mueller.

Flynn told Sullivan that he did not want to withdraw his guilty plea or to challenge the fairness of the FBI interview that led to his plea.

Flynn's lawyer told the judge he had not been entrapped by the FBI.

"I was aware" that lying to the FBI was a crime, Flynn said, declining an offer by Sullivan to postpone the sentencing.

The reality is maybe Flynn felt entrapped but he can’t say anything about that otherwise the plea deal gets pulled. That’s a real possibility. It’s also possible that Flynn was trying to protect Trump in all this and that’s what I’m taking away from all this. Almost an Ollie North type of situation. Flynn was telling Moscow not to get into a tit for tat with Obama during the transition. Flynn and Trump were asking Putin not to tie the new administrations hands before they took office.

Obama at the time looked like he wanted to start WW3 the way he was talking and acting. Flynn was putting in place a deal where sanctions went away over Crimea and Ukraine over help on Syria, Iran and other matters in Middle East. Problem is Flynn was being tapped by Obama administration and they knew exactly what he was up to. I’m convinced the reason Flynn lied was to protect Trump. Democrats are trying to say that Flynn’s talks with Russia back in summer could be treason since that’s when hacks occurred on DNC. That’s a far reach to say the least. But this judge is asking about treason and ripping Flynn a new one and I just wanted to point out Sullivan would love to burn Flynn.
