Judge who told Flynn "you sold your country out" should hold him to his guilty pleas

[bigtree]

...and rescind whatever credit he gave Flynn in the plea deal. After all, Judge Sullivan held back sentencing because Flynn claimed to want to work more with prosecutors, provide more information for their investigation into the president.

Now that he's hostile to those prosecutors, Flynn shouldn't be able to argue any reason to delay sentencing, not to mention whatever charges provoked the judge to suggest treason as one of the crimes.

Flynn's sentencing judge told Flynn, "Arguably, you sold your country out."

from 12/18/18:

A federal judge, in a dramatic hearing on Tuesday, agreed to delay the sentencing hearing for former national security adviser Michael Flynn because he may be able to provide additional cooperation to federal investigators, and get credit for it.

Flynn was due to be sentenced for lying to the FBI last year about his contacts with Russian officials in the aftermath of the 2016 campaign as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference.

But during Tuesday’s hearing, Sullivan pulled few punches when it came to Flynn’s conduct, saying he couldn’t hide his “disgust” with the retired Army lieutenant general and questioned why he hadn’t been charged with treason.

Sullivan, about whom conservatives had high hopes, told Flynn at one point, “Arguably, you sold your country out” by working as an unregistered foreign agent.

1. Yes, Force Trump To Issue A Pardon.

That's what this is all about. Trump gets to avoid responsibility. ...again.

2. Absolutely!

3. Any Chance The Judge Won't Go Along?

I'm guessing no.

I knew all along that NONE of them would be held accountable. I wish I had been wrong, but that's the direction this is headed.

5. I'm pretty sure that this judge is not a Trump Toadie

He was pissed at Flynn. He has a lifetime appointment to the bench and DOJ can't touch him.

Go Judge Sullivan! Do your duty!

4. Unseal everything.

Unseal it all, and release it directly to the press.

Trump will pardon him anyway!

9. Some guy tweeted on December 2, 2017

"I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the vice president and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies."

But that was then, this is now. Thanks again, Senate Republicans. Please be advised that if any of you assholes start intoning something about the rule of law, Imma feel free to kick you square in the nads.
