Arguably, you sold your country out,
This should be on the tombstone of the Republican Party.

(17,984 posts)Still does not cover what the Judge said to Flynn.
Flynn has been put on cannot travel over 50 miles unless he gets a court agreement and must turn in his pass port.
That makes Flynn a flight risk. Also his sentence will depend on how much he co- operates with the Investigation.

Facebook needs to be closed down. They were allowing others to see your info. Zuckerberg needs to be punished.

(53,997 posts)Maybe Mueller had a strategic reason for letting the little fish go. He could be...
1) trying to rattle Trump's cage,
2) hoping to entice more mid-level informants to get testimony against key players
3) sticking to an agreement with Flynn for turning over evidence that's much more important than we realize
4) protecting Flynn as an asset for future inquiries
5) protecting Flynn as a made member of the national security apparatus

You disgrace the uniform you wore. The medals bestowed upon you. The troops under you, who looked to you for leadership. And all America, which trusted you with our protection, Mr. Flynn.
Whatever good you did in the armed forces years ago has been MORE than wiped out when you sold out your country. Whatd they pay you? Thirty pieces of silver?

(2,690 posts)And don't forget the deal he was trying to make with Erdoghan to kidnap Fethullah Gulen, muslim cleric accused of plotting the failed coup and return him to Turkey. Flynn was asking $15,000,000, on delivery. Gulen has been living in the U.S. for about 20 years, under the official protection of the United States. Flynn wanted to get rich by sending him -- no, delivering him to certain death.
Yes, Flynn and his son are both traitors. Worse, far worse, than Benedict Arnold who, after all, was not born an American nor raised as one.

(46,166 posts)He emphasized how he sold out his country "for - money". (I'm just now watching my recording of tonight's show)
I don't care what anyone says about this judge. I feel like he's speaking for me by making Flynn sweat and maybe even be reminded of his "lock her up" chanting.

(28,787 posts)will judge jeanine turn on flynn, or that unimpeachable judge? i'll skip finding out, thanks
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)Since Judge Jeanine can't be wrong, and Michael Flynn can't be guilty, I'd guess she'll pay the "deep state" card. Either that, or simply ignore her muffin-headed prior tweet and deflect any questions about it.

(1,588 posts)he might just try to do something stupid like trying to take the "honorable" way out of this before spilling all the beans if he hasn't already. It's gotta be killing him to hear being called a traitor and those "lock him up" chants being thrown back at him.
True Blue American
(17,984 posts)Flynn can be picked up if he goes outside of his 50 mile limit and turning in his passport.i coorct that, the Judge did!

(37,648 posts)I never thought I'd live to see this in America. Flag-waving so-called patriots are defending traitors. That's how much they hate liberals. I remember the t-shirts we saw in a pic not long along, where two men are wearing t-shirts saying, "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat." That says it all. That makes them traitors, too.
certainot
(9,090 posts)but will get repeated until the teabag dittoheads start sending threats. the russians will amplify the same with soc media
or the kremlin will design something to try to intimidate or threaten sullivan somehow, and it's end up in limbaugh's material and then the trolls will amplify it
maybe it will be something in sullivan's past, maybe a ruling, that can be distorted or exaggerated, or they could even make up something that can't be refuted directly, or it may be an attack on a relative, etc.

(7,142 posts)The judge kept hinting, strongly, that if he had to do the sentencing today, he was going to give Flynn jail time, and it wasn't going to be 0 to 6 months. Finally Flynn's lawyers caught on and asked for a postponement.
Flynn has 3 months to come up with more information for Mueller or Flynn is going to the slammer.
That's my take. This judge was pissed.

(13,892 posts)Early on, the instant Flynn realized his goose was cooked he agreed to wear a wire. Got EVERYBODY on record admitting to collusion and their dirty deeds..
Yeah, no jail time if that's under my xmas tree... That's what got Nixon.. Him admitting to breaking the law on tape...
