Interesting developments in the Flynn case.

[Headhunter]

The new judge in the Flynn case has been burned by prosecutors in the past and is putting some new requirements on them. This article by a former federal prosecutor is interesting. This passage got my attention.

As Judge Jed Rakoff wrote several years ago, people who are innocent enter guilty pleas every day. They simply can no longer withstand the unimaginable stress of a criminal investigation. They and their families suffer sheer exhaustion in every form — financial, physical, mental, and emotional. Add in a little prosecutorial duress — like the threat of indicting your son — and, presto, there’s a guilty plea.

Poor Flynn...I’m sure this conspiracy theory has legs and he will be “vindicated” too lol.

Carry on.

Why don't you read the article and then engage in reasoned debate instead of just reflectively being an obtuse dick about everything?

You are certainly living up to your reputation as a Chester the Molester type creep.

I did read the article lol. You soak up every attempt by right wing news to attack Mueller?

And why the name calling? I didn’t go after you, just the bogus story haha. This board has a big issue with taking the low road.

Carry on.

You calling out others for taking the low road is exceedingly ironic.

Carry on.

Comey is on the record as stating the FBI agents who interviewed Flynn believed he was telling the truth. Those agent included Strzok.

It's also pretty well known that Flynn was loathed within the Obama Administration, in particular by Sally Yates. Flynn has stated that he had exhausted much of his savings already, which may go some ways to explaining his guilty plea (to one count). It'll be interesting to see what happens; what we do know is that he hasn't been sentenced yet, and that his sentencing was just recently delayed until May for some reason or another.

His sentencing was delayed because he’s cooperating with Mueller’s investigation, as Rick Gates is now as well.

Where are the indictments for Russian collusion? Flynn and Manafort are all related to financial dealing that have nothing to do with the campaign. Gates is being leveraged to nail Manafort. I'll re-post something I think is relevant to Gates.

That could be. He was already cooperating prior to FBI agents showing up at his office unannounced and him making the mistake of agreeing to talk to them without counsel present too.


This guy is a long time friend of Comey (maybe not so much anymore on Comey's side) and well acquainted with Mueller and a 20 year prosecutor himself:

http://www.nationalreview.com/artic...raised-about-fbi-robert-mueller-investigation

He raise a number of interesting, and I think plausible, questions about the case and Flynn's guilty plea. Two of them in particular are:

• If Mueller had a collusion case, he would have forced Flynn to plead guilty to some kind of criminal conspiracy involving the Trump campaign and Russia, and had Flynn implicate his Trump World co-conspirators in court. Instead, Flynn pled out to a mere process crime
• The judge who took Flynn's guilty plea was Rudolph Contreras, who is 1 of 11 federal judges assigned to the FISA court. Days after taking Flynn’s plea, Judge Contreras recused himself from the case. Why? No rationale for the recusal has been offered, no explanation for why, if Judge Contreras had some sort of conflict, the recusal came after the guilty plea, not before.

pure fantasy.

So you say lol. I’ll just be patient...each day and week brings more to the table. You worried? You’re so defensive, just like Humpty Trumpty haha!

Carry on.

defensive? can you cite an example?

You obviously want this to go away with Democrats holding the turd. It’s a no-brainer Flynn has been cooperating haha.

Carry on.

Patience. Don't rush the monkey. Let the man do his job. This is a rocket-ship compared to Watergate. You don't want the special investigator to miss anything, do you?

If Mueller had a collusion case, he would have forced Flynn to plead guilty to some kind of criminal conspiracy involving the Trump campaign and Russia, and had Flynn implicate his Trump World co-conspirators in court

Why?

Days after taking Flynn’s plea, Judge Contreras recused himself from the case. Why? No rationale for the recusal has been offered, no explanation for why, if Judge Contreras had some sort of conflict, the recusal came after the guilty plea, not before.

What decisions did the judge make? I kind of remember the initial filing and guilty plea being done in quick succession.
