DJT appointed him to his cabinet.
Did he stop working for Turkey after he was paid $200, 000?
I guess we're supposed to take Flynn's word that thé 200G was no longer effective after his appointment, right?
And?
How does it affect Flynn's pleading guilty?
During the campaign?
Sure he was.
The fact is Flynn pleaded guilty regardless of the narrative you have presented in your posts and the narrative McCarthy has been spewing for months.
Obama warned Trump about Flynn.
In retrospect, maybe that was good advice.
it's akin to pretending the 21Mil Qatar gave the Clinton Foundation wasn't a bid to influence HRC.
Unfortunately for red team, Trump is president and HRC is a has been.
Fortunately for red team, few of their supporters can see the similarity.
Slippery slope ahead
That doesn’t make the entirety of the judge questioning wrong, nor his decision wrong.
Logically, it follows that if the judge was satisfied with the plea deal as is, he wouldn’t have delayed the sentencing pending additional cooperation. In the judge’s view, after reviewing the evidence, Flynn’s crimes are serious enough that do not warrant a get out of jail free card at this time.
Obama warned dubya about OBL and Muslim terrorism
In retrospect, maybe that was good advice.
What are you talking about?
Would not be surprised if the judge recuses himself from this case.
Why? Is there some conflict of interest?
What I think it’s likely to happen is that the judge will accept the plea deal (in which case sentencing goes along the prosecution request), or he does not and at that point either a new deal is crafted or that decision appealed.
Comments he made based on false assumptions illustrate his bias.
Needing to issue a retraction post rant doesn't look good.
Law isn’t about optics. Ultimately, if the defense feels he reached the wrong conclusion, they can request a review from a higher instance.
It's obviously a high profile case. Appearance is important. These moments aren't just about law. Names are made or tarnished, and often it seems some grandstanding occurs when there's a media moment.
Republican judge bad now.
Judge should recuse himself? Or maybe Flynn shouldn’t have lied.

William Barr, Trump’s Attorney General Pick, Criticized Mueller Probe In Memo: WSJ
Barr reportedly described the special counsel’s probe into potential obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump as “fatally misconceived.”
sent an “unsolicited memo” to the Justice Department earlier this year in which he lambasted part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing Russia investigation.
Barr said Mueller’s probe into potential obstruction of justice by President Trump was based on a “fatally misconceived” theory,
He told The Hill last year that “leaks” from the special counsel’s team “raise questions as to whether there is an agenda.”
He’s also suggested that Mueller’s team was not politically “balanced” because some members had donated to Democratic candidates.
Barr argued that, based on his understanding of the facts,
Trump had been acting well within his authority as president when he allegedly suggested to then-FBI director James Comey that an investigation into former national security advisor Michael Flynn should be dropped.
Per the Journal:
Mr. Barr’s memo is peppered with strongly worded phrases about the peril he sees in Mr. Mueller’s reading of the law, as he understood it.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/william-barr-mueller-investigation-memo_us_5c1b5596e4b08aaf7a851877?utm_medium=email& utm_campaign=__TheMorningEmail__122018&utm_content =__TheMorningEmail__122018+CID_7fec889b82f456bda54 5d50ca350bda3&utm_source=Email%20marketing%20softw are&utm_term=HuffPost&ncid=newsltushpmgnews__TheMo rningEmail__122018
He described Mr. Mueller’s approach as “grossly irresponsible” with “potentially disastrous implications” for the executive branch.
He also wrote: “Mueller should not be permitted to demand that the President submit to interrogation about alleged obstruction.”
iow, the Trash's perfect AG to fire Mueller
Of course its only about the law in the courtroom. Doesn’t mean they always get it right, but that’s why there’s multiple instances. The court of public opinion shouldn’t influence the court at all. That’s why in a lot of high profile cases there’s specific ways to deal with juries to ensure they’re not polluted with outside opinion.
I mean Flynn’s defense team can always request a recusal. Seems premature though, as the judge hasn’t ruled out accepting the current plea deal.
