"Judge delays Flynn sentencing to allow further cooperation with federal investigators, calls him "traitor" who "sold out the USA" "

Wait, is this the same judge who Fox News and Rush Limbaugh were so excited about the other day, the judge that they thought was going to let Flynn off b/c of some sort of "irregularities" when the FBI questioned him?

We still don’t know what the sentence is. But Judge Emmet Sullivan is positively roasting General Flynn in court right now, all but calling him a traitor and goading prosecutors to say Flynn should lose credit for cooperation for trying to evade responsibility for his crimes in his sentencing memo.
Why do you lie?

Well, in reference to Flynn's crimes, the judge explicitly stated that ""That undermines everything this flag over here stands for. Arguably you sold your country out." And he also explicitly asked the prosecutor if Flynn could've been charged with treason. So I don't think tick's characterization of the judge's comments were off base...

One of several examples that contradict Trump's "I had nothing to do with Russia and Vladimir Putin". And when confronted with the Moscow tower deal, Donnie put it all on Cohen, and even lied that it was Cohen who signed for him.

Of course, all negotiations re: Trump Tower Moscow ceased the very day it was revealed the Russians hacked the DNC.

Yet Comey, now leading the charge against Flynn from the sidelines, admits with bravado that he broke the rules in setting a legal trap for Flynn. Far worse, Comey gave Hillary Clinton all the breaks in the world and only a scolding for her scandalous handling of classified emails while simultaneously setting up secret surveillance on the Trump campaign, for reasons still unclear.

Comey’s answers about what he knew regarding the discredited dossier Clinton’s campaign funded smell to high heaven, and some in Congress believe he committed perjury in his testimony.

Moveover, he presided over the most corrupt FBI leadership team in history. His top deputy, ­McCabe, was charged with lying by the inspector general about a media leak, and his case was referred for possible prosecution.

That was in April. Where is that prosecution?

Sadly, it’s likely that nothing will come of it and McCabe, like Comey, will be able to skate out of trouble and use his anti-Trump bias as a ticket to public redemption — and book sales.

Strzok, a key player in the FBI’s notorious “insurance plan” in case Trump won, has also escaped legal accountability. True, he was fired, but his documented bias in both the Clinton and Trump investigations was more damaging to America than anything Flynn did, yet he faces no charges.

Thus, despite all the misconduct by Clinton and her team and Comey and his team, as well as others in the Obama White House, it remains a fact that only Trump is the subject of relentless investigations. One of them, the probe headed by special counsel Robert Mueller, is midway through its third year, and was launched because Trump fired the corrupt Comey.

Double standards. Some days, they are the only standards America has.

crash, Judge Sullivan didn't rant about Flynn "selling out the country" because of a FBI interview. You need to get your head out of Faux and Limbaugh and discover what's really happening wrt the Trump crime syndicate.

So to change the narrative of 17 investigations, Trump announces the defeat of ISIS and a pullout of Syria, which has everybody jumping mad (even Brian Kilmeade).

Around the time Stone and/or Donald Jr. get indicted, look for an announcement that Alaska is up for sale.

nothing I can see regarding Flynn comes close to treason

his contract with the Turkish company ended in November

I agree he should have never published that op-ed but otherwise there is no paper trail where he benefitted after he was nominated DCI

here was the paptper trail

flynns problem is ignorance of the process and the way things are twisted--not any treasonous act where he tried to trade influence for money. that transaction was well before he was named DCI

Seriously, crash - an article from March 2017? Prosecutor's detailed much of Flynn and his partners' activities just 72 hours ago....the stuff that could land his associates 15 year prison sentences. Other stuff Flynn was involved in was redacted for the public, but Judge Sullivan got to read it. Hence the "you sold your country out" remark.

tic sometimes going back to the story at its inception instead of letting 18 months of time muddy the original story.

40 years of military service and suddenly he turns into a 'traitor" is a load of crap
