I hope to keep this posting rather short. (If you’ve been around here, that probably sounds impossible) Lately I’ve been reading more and more about the Michael Flynn case and William Barr’s “intrusion” on the case which smacks of “prosecutorial impropriety” similar to Barr’s actions in the Roger Stone case. Today I read two articles in the Washington Post, one suggesting Judge Sullivan should have simply dismissed Flynn’s case at the request of Barr’s appointed sycophant and the other praising Sullivan for appointing a former judge to “present the other side” – essentially, the legal reasons why Judge Sullivan should deny the “government’s” request and proceed with sentencing of Mr. Flynn.

I’ve also read several other articles from several different sources in regard to what is happening in this case and a couple things are clear. First, there is MOUNTING evidence, coming from MULTIPLE former prosecutors that William Barr is as dangerous as people like me believe him to be. He appears to be brazenly and shamelessly doing individual 1’s “bidding” with the belief of “what are you going to do about it?” to “we the people.” Well, Judge Sullivan, at least for the moment, is giving me a sense of peace in that he’s not “caving” to Barr and, hopefully, he’ll follow through on what he said to Flynn at the first sentencing hearing.

The thing NO ONE in any of the articles are mentioning would be the FACT Flynn’s original “guilty plea” was based on a “plea agreement” which allowed a plethora of OTHER charges to be “forgiven.” (dropped?) Not being a lawyer I don’t know the correct term, but the bottom line is Flynn was allegedly GUILTY of MUCH more than LYING to the FBI. Remember, Flynn’s plea agreement caused him to have to “cooperate” with the Mueller investigation and, at the time – to me – seemed to be a “sweetheart deal.” That’s because myself, and anyone else paying attention, knew what else Flynn was “up to.”

For example, while working as individual 1’s de facto National Security Adviser Flynn was also working as an UNREGISTERED foreign agent for Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s president (ie dictator) to the tune of close to $500.000 in payment. Additionally, he was alleged to be part of a scheme to kidnap a Turkish Cleric, living in Pennsylvania, in order to send him back to Turkey to face certain death at the hands of Erdogan. And, none of that mentions Flynn’s strange connection to Vladimir Putin where he was Putin’s guest at some kind of dinner in Moscow and included payment of close to $50,000 from the Russians which, apparently, was in direct violation of his military retirement regulations. I’m bringing all this up from my (old person’s not so great) memory – but, my point is, Flynn pled guilty – from what I could tell at the time – to prevent facing charges on these other issues – all of which seem to be forgotten – except, maybe by Judge Sullivan.

I say that about Judge Sullivan because, if my memory serves me correctly, he admonished Flynn for much more than LYING to the FBI when Flynn was trying to get off with no jail time. I believe he used the term treason or traitor or something of that magnitude and suggested he needed to see more evidence of “cooperation” in order to agree to no jail time. And, then to add to all that, keep in mind Flynn’s son was involved in ALL of his misdeeds. I always believed his GUILTY plea was made to protect his son from all the OTHER charges Flynn was forgiven for because it appeared the two were working together. I’m not sure if Judge Sullivan is in such a forgiving mood?

All of this has been the part of this fiasco which has bothered me the most. For example, I never for an instant believe Flynn “LIED” to the Vice President. I never thought Flynn was making his overtures to the Russian ambassador without the full knowledge of individual 1 – which would indicate, if I’m correct in that assumption, that Flynn NEVER had a plan to “cooperate” with Mueller – his pure motivation for the GUILTY plea was to save his son from prosecution and himself from more serious charges. I believe Flynn, Barr, and anyone else involved in helping him “get off” for his crimes think no one will remember all of this – and, so far, from what I’ve been reading, they may end up being correct.

Except, it’s possible Judge Sullivan remembers and he very likely could be placing himself in the “good” section of our History books – the opposite section of individual 1, Barr, Flynn, and the other sycophants who are enabling dear leader who are headed to the section currently led by Benedict Arnold! Stay tuned!
