Judge Holds Secret Hearing After Flynn Lobs Wild-Eyed Claims Against Gov’t

@zentropy

Judge should’ve just sentenced him when he had the chance. None of this “are you suuure you want to accept your sentence…?” crap. Guy should be doing hard time right now.

my guess is that the judge suspected Flynn had more beans to spill on the Trump campaign, etc… and gave Flynn a chance to do so.

[sherrybb]

So Flynn’s new argument is that when he said under oath he was guilty, when he said under oath he was not coerced, that he was lying?

That literally is what this batsh!t crazy lawyer is arguing, along with the…" they made me lie"

smh

@drriddle

texts between two FBI agents months before Flynn conspired with Russia is somehow germane to his sentencing?

A thousand likes, sir.
This is true ridiculousness.

Flynn’s attorneys are throwing a spaghetti hurricane

Kinda like Trump’s 28 Aug ‘spaghetti hurricane’ map (4 days before he claimed Alabama was going to be hit hard) showing plots that even went due west to Mexico (and presumably to Ireland)?

@sniffit

Second, Barr is having her fed cherry-picked information to help Flynn. I fucking guarantee it.

The call are coming from inside the DoJ, how does one surveil the head of one’s own agency? And an oldie but a goody “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes”?

I’m expecting Trump to nominate Janine Pirro. She’s available at the moment. They will have to take her arms out of the strait jacket to swear her in, but she will make a great Federal Judge.

@ealleniii

So. He fires his lawyers. He hires new ones that can’t get security clearance. He uses this to argue that the opposing counsel is violating discovery.

This is like hiring the prosecutor’s brother as your lawyer mid trial, and then asking the court to appoint a new prosecutor because of the conflict.

Wasn’t that a sub plot in Better Call Saul?

I think that bit about the FBI text messages was for Sharpie Shooter’s benefit. He’s obsessed with Strzok and Page, no doubt partly because they were onto him as a Russian asset, but I think also because he finds it unseemly that anyone would have an affair not founded in avarice.

[swampsofjersey]

He needs more classified info because the fsb asked for it before they would mount the extraction operation.

[c_stedman]

Hey, Flynn probably can’t get a security clearance either.

[edhedh]

@emiliano4

Sharpies available?

apparently not on flynn’s legal team.

[c_stedman]

He missed the punch bowl?

[twowolves]

If he doesn’t get convicted he can sell his book. Much truthiness, much bigly!

As Curly used to say on the Three Stooges:

This is gettin’ monotonous.

[rascal_crone]

The next time I’m in an airport and they call service members to board first, I’m going to think of Flynn and his noble service he’s done to this country.

[rascal_crone]

“*How do I loathe thee? *
Let me count the ways…”

[becca656]

He’s not active military anymore - they have to show ID for that.

[blandsten]

Ignorant people who claim Democrats are “slow walking” the process clearly don’t understand what they’re dealing with.

@moreyampersand

he finds it unseemly that anyone would have an affair not founded in avarice.

that’s gotta sting - good one,&

[rascal_crone]

I understood it was anyone who had served.
