#1 Arguably you sold your country out.

#2 It's Turkey that's the problem.

Looks like Russia is just thrown in there to keep the MSM fakenews going.

#3 Flynn was one of the beneficiaries of a lucrative and legal scam where people who held high level office retire and pretend they can give 'strategic advice' to foreign governments. Most of this ends up in setting up meetings with current office holders who smile nicely, take notes and then do nothing. The foreign governments somehow keep paying.

#5 If someone as high up as flynn was suborned, why is it assumed that everyone working under him, and the rest of the intelligence establishment, is squeaky clean? Is that just the way "counterintelligence" works these days?

Is counterintelligence just a fancy word for stupidity?

#6 Somehow this reads as if the Judge was given details on the case over drinks at a bar and didn't actually read the info himself.

#7 Or that one of his children is missing and will be returned safe after he delays the case until next year...

#8 Sullivan obviously turned on the guy, and very clumsily and publicly at that. WTF happened? Or am I missing something again ?

#9 I am baffled. His rant came out of left field as far as I can tell. Drinks may have been involved. Judicial meltdown, over wrong information, and he didn't seem to want to correct his error. Setting up a mistrial?

#10 ...or he actually believed a unredacted 302 he was given (like the FISA judge).
