Washington – A federal judge has agreed to delay former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s sentencing so he can continue cooperating with the Russia probe.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan on Tuesday set a status conference for March.
Attorneys for Flynn asked the judge to postpone the sentencing. The stunning request came after Sullivan warned Flynn that if he were sentenced as scheduled Tuesday, he might not get all the credit for his cooperation with investigators that he is entitled to.
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his Russia contacts. Prosecutors had recommended no prison time, citing his cooperation. But the judge’s rebuke raised the prospect that Flynn could get a harsher sentence.
This so called judge needs to be ousted. Flynn is an honorable man who made a small mistake. prosecutors suggested no jail time. Some chutzpa he has. And no respect for our men in Uniform
In like Flynn took $600,000 as a standing Lieut. General from Erdogan to influence US Policy. That’s an unprescedented breech of faith and ethics as well as to his sworn oath to the people of the USA. If a damn Private took $100 from a foreign govt he’d be Court Marshaled and thrown in the brig for 25 years! And herr trumpoid was told about this and still made him head of NSA! TIME TO DRAIN TRUMPF’S SEWER, NOW! Flynn should face a FIRING SQUAD for this.
I wonder if he was selling out our nation while he was wearing its uniform. In any case, we ought to lock him up and melt the key.
Archie, do you realize that the penalty for treason is death?
