Trumpian conspiracy theories... meet Judge Sullivan.

Wow, that was awkward. Flynn and his supporters thought he could cooperate with the FBI while simultaneously claiming victimhood at their hands.

It all fits into a narrative that Trump is trying to build that, although crimes are crimes, they aren't [i]really[/i] crimes ... and anyway what about Hillary?

It did not go over well with the Judge, who basically told Flynn to take some time to think about what he did, and come back when he's ready to be serious.

Among the dem contenders I kind of like her. @WoodyAq

@jackjjackson How many Dems are running? Like 50? I'll start paying attention when it's down to a reasonable number. But, based on your recommendation, I'll keep an eye on her.

Seems very reasonable and smart. @WoodyAq
Putting that stuff into the sentencing papers seemed like a really dumb move with this judge as far as Flynn is concerned, but I don't think it's going to hurt him much in the long run, and it may help him in getting a pardon down the road.

@jackjjackson Nope. Just adding up the facts.

Barr is respected now. But he wrote a legally questionable memo to get the job which appears to prejudge part of the case.

Chances are ethics will recommend that he recuse. Of he refuses, he'll lose that respect.

He wrote that memo LONG before the President ever considered not being a democrat. You’re suggesting he PLANNED it that far in advance? That’s a stretch even for you Woody 😲 @WoodyAq

@jackjjackson The unsolicited memo was dated June 8, 2018. So no, that isn't true.

The judge was so confused about the facts the prosecutor had to correct him. Regardless this case has no connection with Trump.
WoodyAq · M
@AnneHoney Yeah, that's not going to fly. The documents make clear he was acting on Trump's behalf.
AnneHoney · 36-40, F
No one even suggested any illegal activity by Flynn was for the benefit of Trump. But keep the fiction flowing. His crime was being a liar. The same thing Trump fired him for.@WoodyAq

@AnneHoney Read the recently published 302s. They suggest it heavily. Marcy Wheeler covers it well.
