Sullivan's hearing did not reach a detailed finding of "materiality" in Flynn's false statements to the FBI.
Flynn did not plead to the crime of "false statements" for his "work for Turkey" and the Flynn statement of the offense didn't state all of the elements of that offense (intent!), as even Brandon Van Grack admitted.
Still waiting for Trump to give him his job back after firing him...
Look for him at a Trump rally near you soon!
Doesn't matter that he pled guilty twice.
I've known people who plead guilty when innocent just because of the realities involved.
2 years probation vs the chance of 5 years in state penitentiary. Money gone , wife freaking out , kids scared .
Bet you have known someone as well .
I've not known anyone who lied about his meetings with Russians.
Still another useless deflection .
Strange way to live
When you get past all the "setup" BS, these are the facts:
Flynn lied to the FBI when asked about his conversations with Russians.
The Russians knew he lied to the FBI, giving them kompromat on him, making him a security risk.
Flynn pled guilty twice for a reduced sentence and turned state's evidence.
The DOJ behaved honorably in all this until Barr came in.
Under political pressure, not based on facts, the DOJ dropped charges.
The judge in the Flynn case was so horrified and appalled at the DOJ's behavior, he sought to find a way to see justice done and the American people served.
The court of appeals said our concern isn't to see that justice is done. Only the DOJ can make the decision in relation to charges.
So Flynn gets off with lying and the DOJ shows it now works for Trump, not the people.
Sadly for you, it's all going to backfire on you in November. Nobody outside the right-wing bubble believes the conspiracy fantasy.
The vast majority of people see this for what it is.
