Does Flynn somehow believe that the Judge was pissed off by the āsentencing memoā or does he recognize that the judge was actually deeply completely PISSED OFF by Flynnās behavior?
His new counsel should immediately file with Sullivan for a dismissal of all charges, citing Barrās investigation into FBI misconduct.
Iām sure that would go over well with the judge.
The sentencing memo was last December, and here it is June. Heās just now āshaking upā his legal team?
Hereās hoping for a little dose of LOCK HIM UP!
First the decision to arrest Nader, now this. And the only material change that their cases have in common is that Barr is now overseeing both prosecutions. I donāt like it one bit. Iām not going say any more at this point, because the darkest speculations spring to mind.
Thereās effective proton pump inhibitors for that.

Yeah, bad title, no content that actually connects the two.
There are no un-shaken lawyers left in the northeast United States after Donnieās legal hijinksā¦
Robert Kelner spared Flynn 10 years of prison. He shouldāve been a co-conspirator in the Bijan Kian indictment. He was spared.
Something weird is going on with this case but I canāt put my finger on it. I will never trust Flynnās duplicitous nature no matter how much he cooperated with Mueller and his team. The guy is a fucking traitor. These types donāt suddenly become angels or see the light. Heās still a weasel to me. I think heās still holding out for a tRump pardonā¦and thereās already glimmers that Dowd made that well-known to him as a possibility.
Pretty sure that ladder has been hauled up now.
Iām starting to feel like a conspiracy theorist but my mind went there as well.
Robert Kelner gave notice to the court Thursday that Flynn has terminated him, and asked the court for permission to withdraw from the case.
Just out of curiosity, Do judges ever deny such a request?
Doesnāt matter. This is most likely a delaying tactic to prolong his case and keep him out of jail for as long as possible. Watch him now ask the judge for another 8 months so his new team can āget up to speed.ā The legal system is slow by design to maximize billings.
Ya think? tRump does some weird impulsive shit even when heās been advised not toā¦so I think Flynn might still be holding out. Maybe Flynn will put up the tRump Bat Signal that heās ready for him to act on his behalf.
Marcy Wheeler AKA EmptyWheel indicates that Flynn may be on the verge of withdrawing his guilty plea.
So whoās paying for Flynnās defense? Follow the money.
This should be interesting. Yup, Barrās investigation is paying dividends.
Wonder what Sullivanās reaction will be.
Jail without bail?
ETA Must be nice for Barr. Obstructing justice on behalf of Trump, Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society and Opus Dei.
Itās like Ashley Madison, except for cabals.
