Sought-after parts of the Mueller investigation may be made public this week, thanks to a federal judge who's taken an unusual approach in former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn's case.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the US District Court in DC set a Friday deadline for the Justice Department to make public unredacted portions of the Mueller report that pertain to Flynn, plus transcripts of Flynn's calls with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and of a voicemail during which someone connected to Trump referenced Flynn's cooperation.

Taken together, the judge's orders look like a shortcut to transparency in a moment of executive branch stonewalling.

Each of the documents, once made public, could bring revelations about Mueller's work. The transcripts alone could answer lingering questions about what exactly Flynn said to the Russians that caused so much concern among US intelligence and how a message that factored into the obstruction of justice probe into President Donald Trump played out.

This is the same judge who questioned why Flynn wasn't guilty of treason, prompting the defense to ask for a stay of sentencing.

1. Unredacted, right?

6. For Grand jury stuff. I think there will still be some for protection of classified sources. n/t

2. I have a feeling Judge Sullivan is not going to go along with

the prosecutors recommendation of Flynn's sentence. He seemed appalled the last time and by demanding the unredacted portion of the report regarding this guy, he is publically justifying why he's throwing the book at him.
I hope

3. Flynn should bring a toothbrush to sentencing.

5. I hope Flynn does some time vs just probation.
