Like many, I was expecting a different outcome from today's sentencing hearing for General Flynn.
The wretched history of the case, combined with revelations of recent days exposing the disgraceful way General Flynn was set up by the likes of Comey, McCabe, Strzok and Yates, gave many of us high expectations that by now, General Flynn would be a free man.
However, I forgot a lesson that I explained in a recent article, explaining POTUS Trump's logic in delaying declassification : don't move against your enemies, when they still have a voice.
To his credit, Judge Emmett Sullivan didn't forget that lesson.
Judge Sullivan knows General Flynn is innocent of the crime in his guilty plea. BUT he also knows that while rogue cop Mueller is weak, he still has a voice.
The best solution? Throw the General a lifeline, while boxing Mueller in and tying him to a weakening hand.
Read on.
Mueller as Hostage-Taker
Here's a scenario that explains Sullivan's position : a rogue cop (Mueller) entered his court, holding a pistol with two bullets loaded in the chamber (Logan Act / FARA violation charges), to an innocent man's (General Flynn's) head.
The cop's threat? 'If you throw this case out, I will pull the trigger.'
The pistol? It's old and never used before : let's call it a Logan (FARA model).
What would you do, if you were the judge?
Again, Judge Sullivan knows that Flynn is innocent of the crime the General admitted to, in his guilty plea.
The Judge also knows that Flynn’s plea deal has been coerced by Mueller. It’s dodgy trash.

The ruling referenced an agreement with the UN, not all of the msm is reporting it. But some are, I just don’t have a link handy.
I hope it’s true!

Okay thanks.
IOW: No judge could ever deal with prosecutorial misconduct openly and forcefully.
No. The judge is not on the side of the angels. He is trying to preserve his reputation.
He futilely reprimanded the ones in the Stevens case after all the damage was done.
Like Trump’s lawyers.
