1. A completely false tweet

Judge Sullivan had a misunderstanding of Flynn’s contacts with Turkey, which Flynn had also lied about. Sullivan said that Flynn had acted “an unregistered agent of a foreign country, while serving as the national security adviser to the president of the United States.”

A member of Mueller’s team had to point out that this was not the case, and that Flynn had stopped dealing with Turkey before he took office.

"I felt terrible about that," Sullivan says, after the prosecutor notes Flynn's conduct as a foreign agent ended in mid-Nov 2016.

The Judge personally apologized to Flynn in court for his comments.

3. No. It's only that the Post story does not really address what Sullivan was referring to.

I doubt Sullivan was referring to Turkey at all. That's just what the media wants us to believe.

4. So you ignore Sullivan's own words.

Apparently he did not know what he was referring to I guess.

2. Trump and Co are all treasonous SOB's

The problem is finding any evidence or getting someone in the crime family to flip.

Doesn't help that they probably had someone inside feeding them Intel.
