Judge Emmet Sullivan Delays Sentencing of Michael Flynn for 90 Days…
2018-12-19
Posted as a comment late last evening by our own NoMoreBS
[The Last Refuge] Without cameras in the courtroom we are constrained to understand the Flynn sentencing hearing today through the perspectives of others. The Daily Caller has an article [See Here] and a thread on the events [is Here] and a great video recap of the events by Will Chamberlain [is HERE].

That said, there is much speculation and punditry delivered opinion on what took place; and how the hearing ended with Judge Emmet Sullivan delaying the sentencing of Michael Flynn for 90-days. While we await the transcript from the court, here’s my view.

Last night, while contemplating the possible outcomes of the hearing, there was a strong likelihood of exactly what happened today.... but only if Judge Sullivan was aware of the conflicted position of Michael Flynn, and approached the hearing from that perspective.

Flynn took the guilty plea of lying to investigators to avoid Mueller charging him over the Turkish lobbying issues (FARA).

Happily, it appears Judge Sullivan is well aware of this very specific dynamic and the issues therein. Special Counsel Robert Mueller used the unregistered foreign lobbying charges, and -more importantly- the devastating narrative that can be drawn from those FARA violations, as leverage over Flynn. Based on the comments from Judge Sullivan, it is clear he is aware of this dynamic.

#4  Sullivan has been in Washington a long time. How long do you have to be there to be a bona fide member of the Deep State?

#3  Looks like the judge got to read his file maintained by Deep State.

#2  Just because I talk to Foreign agents - if I know it or not, does not mean I have to file as a registered agent of Foreign Country. Appearing on RT is not being a Foreign Adviser, and as far as THAT Judge is concerned, he is a protectorate of larger cases.

It is your ass riding on the Logan Act, "Judge" on a phony FISA warrant illegally issued and non checked. Twice.

Another that needs to retire robes.

Emmet means truth except in this bullshit case.
