Waiting for Judge Sullivan’s reaction

…while teasing that they had found potentially serious problems in documents that they had reviewed.

The problem is that their client is guiltier than charged.
The source of the ‘undue pressure’ on Flynn was almost certainly the same.

Poor wretched victim. (They’re all victims.)

Poor put upon Flynnsey, didn’t think that in the final quarter his new lawyers might not be up to dealing your perfidious behavior. You chose this path, deal with it.

Flynn really, really does not want to testify about Bijan Kian. He’s risking his entire no-jail cooperation plea over this. The way he originally thought the plea was going to go down, he would be sentenced back in January and not be required to do any more cooperation (testimony). I never thought postponing his sentencing until after Bijan’s trial would end up being a big deal. The closer we get to Bijan’s trial (september), the squirmier Flynn gets.

Interesting take. Maybe Bijan has dirt on him and his lawyer is just waiting for him to testify to drop it?

Jeebus. I didn’t even read the article.
Just throw the guy in SuperMax for violating the g-d agreement and be done with it.
Lock. Him. Up!

“While new counsel for Mr. Flynn has barely scratched the surface, counsel has identified crucial and troubling issues that should concern any court.”

We’ve seen this song and dance before, and Judges Hazel and Furman weren’t having it. Put up or shut up.

Are you referring to cross-examination or blackmail?

Sullivan - Does the prosecution have anything to add before I pronounce sentence?

Prosecution - Yes, your honor. I would like to point out that this Mouth that Walks Like a Man rolled on anybody he could think of in the hopes of getting a reduced sentence. Now the contents of a fishing trawler’s nets don’t squirm as much as he does now that your honor has made it quite clear that he is nothing more than a traitor.
In other words, if you want to throw his ass off the edge of the world, we have no objection. We’ve squeezed him like a fucking lemon anyway. Begging the court’s pardon.

You lead me to the very far horizon of pernicious tomfoolery on a daily basis, don’t you know?
