Judge Cancels General Flynn's Sentencing …Until Further Notice!

[Politico] A judge has indefinitely postponed former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s sentencing on a charge of lying to the FBI as Flynn presses to withdraw the guilty plea he entered more than two years ago in a case prosecuted by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Flynn had been set for sentencing Feb. 27, but U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan announced on Monday that he was canceling the hearing "until further order of the court."

A new set of defense attorneys retained by Flynn last year has been aggressively challenging the case against him ‐ an uphill task given that Flynn publicly admitted his guilt under oath at a court hearing in December 2017 and reconfirmed those statements a year later at another court session.

In his guilty plea, Flynn admitted lying to FBI agents about his dealings with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition and making false statements about Trump transition officials’ lobbying on a United Nations resolution condemning Israel. Flynn also acknowledged that he signed Foreign Agent Registration Act filings that contained false statements about his work on a lobbying and advocacy project related to Turkey.

Last month, Flynn formally asked to withdraw his plea, arguing that prosecutors and the FBI double-crossed him and that his former attorneys failed to give him adequate legal advice about potential defenses in his case.

#1 They're still crafting the exact phrasing and reasoning of the.... "all charges have now been dropped" public announcement.

#3 Seriously: you mendacious, incompetent sons of bitches have ruined this man – bankrupted him and destroyed his reputation.

Have you no shame?

How are you going to salvage whatever is left of your credibility?

#4 Flynn had a bulls eye pinned to arse long before he went to work for the Orange Man. Attorney Sidney Powell will see to it that he is appropriately compensated. Unfortunately, the money will likely come from the U.S. taxpayer and not the Soetoro-Brennan-Clapper cabal.

#5 How are you going to salvage whatever is left of your credibility?

I doubt they see any need.

#7 Fruit of the poisoned tree (FISA abuses, cooked up evidence and illegal spying). Toss the case out and sanction those who cooked up this case against Flynn.
