    Michael Flynn’s Judge Destroys Trump’s Conspiracy Theory


    http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/12/michael-flynns-judge-destroys-trumps-conspiracy-theory.html

    ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&ei=YkIZXKOjKdGJggedz6SoDA&q =michael+flynn&oq=Mic&gs_l=psy-ab.1.8.35i39l2j0i131j0j0i131l2j0l2j0i131j0.1999.71 86..12643...1.0..0.99.427.5......0....1..gws-wiz.....0..0i10.U3-Dc7oF8C8




    Donald Trump and his allies have spent two years spinning elaborate conspiracy theories about an alleged deep state conspiracy to frame the president and his campaign for imagined crimes revolving around cooperation with Russia.

    The most recent iteration of these theories have centered around Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, who has already pleaded guilty to federal charges. Flynn, Trump’s supporters claim, had done nothing wrong and was trapped into telling an inconsequential lie to FBI agents desperate to use him against Trump.

    Flynn’s sentencing hearing today showed that this theory, like every previous exculpatory hearing, is an absurd fantasy.


    The precise extent of Flynn’s crimes remains largely redacted.

    But the response of the judge, Emmet G. Sullivan, gives some indication of their severity.

    Sullivan lectured Flynn, “Arguably you sold your country out … I’m not hiding my disgust, my disdain for this criminal offense.”

    He mused that Flynn may have committed treason, before later acknowledging that treason only applies to assisting foreign enemies that are in a state of war with the United States (which Russia and Turkey were not.)

    What makes this turn of events so devastating is that conservatives have held out Sullivan as the judicial hero who would vindicate their theories.

    Snowflakes everywhere have not only melted, but they have reached critical mass.

    Edited to say, wait to see how many will want to argue about the title, I predict at least one that was the forum's reporter on #emailgate.
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    That waste of human skin would not know how to speak a truth, even if it was tattooed under her eyelids.

    What makes this turn of events so devastating is that conservatives have held out Sullivan as the judicial hero who would vindicate their theories.

    Fox News legal pundit Jeanine Pirro called him “a jurist unafraid of the swamp, a judge who has a track record of calling out prosecutorial misconduct, a man who does not tolerate injustice or abuse of power.”

    Wall Street Journalcolumnist Kimberley Strassel praised Sullivan as “a judge who is wise to the tricks of prosecutors and investigators … His reputation is for being no-nonsense, a straight shooter, an advocate of government transparency.”





    Anticipating just such a triumph, Eli Lake published a column this morning speculating that Flynn had been entrapped and was owed an apology.


    Today


    Michael Flynn Is Owed an Apology

    One year after he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, there is still no evidence that he is a traitor.

    Which the judge quickly retracted when he resumed court.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    The judge was mad at both sides. He was not happy with Flynn's plea because it ties his hands since the ball is in Flynn's court. The judge would like to investigate more of this but cannot because he is bound by the plea deal.
