Tuesday’s long-anticipated hearing in Michael Flynn’s ongoing legal drama did not bring the one thing Flynn and the President Trump’s Justice Department deeply desire: a dismissal of the Flynn case.
#LockHimUp! #LockHimUp! #LockHimUp!
I hope he’s despondent.
Gleeson is Billybarr’s worst nightmare (barring direct prosecution of the AG). Gleeson knows how things do work and are supposed to work, much more so than Billybarr. I hope Judge Sullivan lets him do his thing to its logical conclusion.
I look forward to their resignations on Nov 4.
Hahahahahahahaha Bazinga, Mike.
Is it possible Judge Sullivan wants sentencing to drag on until after January 20? This would let the new legitimate AG to drop objecting to sentencing? Then Flynn might discover flipping on Trump is a smart move.
I still don’t understand why an administration willing to state publicly they’re trying to steal an election is worried about the optics of pardoning an obvious traitor.
Had Flynn been sentenced, this whole matter would be over and Trump could have pardoned him.
Seriously.
Generals can’t lie to the FBI about illegal meetings with agents of the Russian government???
A New President Means a New Attorney General.
Biden/Harris 2020
What inept sycophants. Jesus would be dismayed.
Yeah that’s partly why he hasn’t been yet I think. The judge knows that.
I hope Flynn’s self-righteous indignation at the 2016 convention slaps him in his God damned face.
Still not sure what the tie is that binds Trump and Flynn. I realize that Stone wasn’t in the gov’t but Trump apparently needs Flynn, needs him free and clear. So would that mean he needs him for to be able to get a security clearance? Why wouldn’t Trump just pardon him, and give him the highest clearance like Jared?
So I wonder if Flynn has something on Trump? Did Flynn help Trump hide Turkish lira?
I really wanted to hear the audio of this hearing.
Sullivan appeared to show that he is prepared to sentence Flynn and to highlight the bad faith of his legal team and the DOJ. I hope he goes through with it. Our system is badly broken because partisan Republicans have moved heaven and earth to avoid holding the Trumpers accountable for what is treason, plain and simple.
Or maybe Flynn represents the CONCEPT of a ‘Deep State’ trying to bring Trump down. It doesn’t need to be real, Trump doesn’t need to give a shit about Flynn (he doesn’t), but Flynn is a useful prop when Trump wants America to believe that everyone is out to get him.
It “has everything to do with the President’s belief that this is some kind of witch hunt, and an attorney general who has said publicly that the President’s tweets … made it very difficult for the Justice Department to get the trust of the courts.”
Very astute.
ABC news is calling Donnie a failure at business and saying that he’s in debt.
I’m flabbergasted.
It’s rubber and glue arguments all the way down.
Over and over again, the judges use these idiots’ own words against them. They can’t help being inept, I suppose.
