Michael Flynn sentencing - CNNPolitics
All you whiners that say the judge is going to slap Mueller around can sit down now.
Actually, that's not the case.
The FACT is that Mueller still Obstructed Justice by refusing to comply with a Congressional subpoena.
The FACT is that Mueller still uses / used 'Perjury Traps' - Unethical? Yes. Illegal? No.
The FACT is that the FBI still f*ed up several times, as the US IG pointed out:
- No video/audio recording
- No Transcripts
- The 302 being written 7 months after the interview
- McCabe conducting an interview but making it seem like casual conversation, telling Flynn he doesn't need a lawyer when Flynn expresses concern about their 'chat'
- The FBI was found to have altered witness testimony after the testimony was given
- The FBI refusing to indict Abedin and Mills for the same offense
- Comey and FBI Agents saying Flynn never lied in the interview they took part in (McCabe's portion was a phone call to Flynn - just him)
So, there are still a lot of issues of concern / areas where the FBI needs to get their fecal matter co-located, which even Democrats should agree on.
THAT BEING SAID....
It is obvious that Flynn was involved in a lot more than even CNN and other left-leaning media sources have reported, things the judge were privy to. The fact that he mentioned 'Treason' sets off alarm bells.
For me, the fact that 2 acquaintances / associates of Flynn have been indicted very recently regarding their dealings with Turkey suggests to me that the 'treason' Sullivan was talking about has more / everything to do about Turkey rather than Russia.
In their time serving their country, especially spending extensive time in the Middle East, Generals spend a lot of time with foreign leaders, their staffs, govts...they build close relationships. Sometimes when a General is about to retire / step down these foreign entities seek to take further advantage of those relationships in the form of wanting to pay these Generals
generously to lobby on their behalf.
If Flynn and his buddies took the money he would not be the 1st to do so, but I find it completely unacceptable, to personally profit by, in some cases 'selling out'. If this is the case, if Mueller found evidence that Flynn is just as guilty of his 2 buddies who were recently charged then Congrats to Mueller. Those who work against the success / good of this country - in ANY capacity - should be taken down.
I am going to do some more digging - hopefully we will learn more about all of this soon. Based on the Judge's reaction I would say that Flynn is about to be proverbially, figuratively, & judicially 'kicked in the b@lls' by Sullivan in regards to Sentencing.
