https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/12/18/judge-sullivan-was-prepared-for-potential-flynn-perjury-and-fraud-on-the-court/I don't know about how everyone else feels, but to me this blog is an incredible resource and timeline of all the criminality and corruption, in the US and around the world.
There is already simply a ton of discussion on the Flynn proceeding today, I will leave that to others. But there was one little nugget I say from, I think, Glenn Kirshner, as almost a throwaway comment, on MSNBC that Judge Sullivan insisted Mike Flynn be sworn in before proceeding today. I was not really ready to write about this until confirming it from others in the courtroom this morning. I have now received that corroboration from multiple sources. In fact, Judge Sullivan directly said he was doing so because he was doing basically an extension of the plea colloquy. Wow!!

Makes her affinity for Chuck Ross over at the Daily Caller a bit strange. But maybe Im over reacting.

(21,856 posts)that they are hearing parroted by such defenders as Flynn, rump, and others? I imagine so, being that the court of public opinion (very slanted and distorted) uttered by Flynn, rump, and others is pure nonsense and garbage.

Marcy is a thoughtful journalist but its hard for me to take seriously anyone who would quote a Koch-funded fake journalism site.
