Judge rejects claims by Trump ex-adviser Flynn of FBI misconduct

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Monday flatly rejected a last-ditch bid by President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn to get the criminal charge to which he already pleaded guilty dropped, brushing aside his claims of misconduct by prosecutors and the FBI.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Flynn to appear for sentencing on Jan. 28, concluding that the retired Army lieutenant general had failed to prove a "single" violation by the prosecution or FBI officials for withholding evidence that could exonerate him.
Sullivan's 92-page ruling represented a major blow to Flynn, who has tried to backpedal since pleading guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his conversations with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn's sworn statements in his plea agreement "belie his new claims of innocence," Sullivan wrote.
"It is undisputed that Mr. Flynn not only made those false statements to the FBI agents, but he also made the same false statements to the Vice President (Mike Pence) and senior White House officials, who, in turn, repeated Mr. Flynn's false statements to the American people on national television," the judge wrote.
Flynn was one of several former Trump aides to plead guilty or be convicted at trial in then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation that detailed Moscow's interference in the 2016 U.S. election to boost Trump's candidacy as well as numerous contacts between Trump's campaign and Russia.
The statutory maximum sentence for the charge to which Flynn pleaded guilty is five years in prison.
Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell, in an emailed statement, called Sullivan's ruling "as wrong as it is disappointing."
Flynn was previously supposed to have been sentenced in December 2018, but Sullivan fiercely criticized Flynn and accused him of selling out his country.
Sullivan had appeared poised to sentence Flynn to prison. The judge instead gave Flynn the option of delaying the sentencing to allow him to fully cooperate with any pending investigations including testifying in the Virginia trial of his former business partner Bijan Rafiekian on charges of illegally lobbying for Turkey.
The plans for Flynn to testify later evaporated. A federal judge in September overturned a jury verdict convicting Rafiekian.

Prosecutors say Flynn 'has not learned his lesson,' seek up to six months in prison
| Quote: | WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. federal prosecutors asked a judge Tuesday to sentence President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, to up to six months in prison, according to a court filing.
"It is clear that the defendant has not learned his lesson. He has behaved as though the law does not apply to him, and as if there are no consequences for his actions," prosecutors wrote in a court filing.
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about interactions with Russia's ambassador to the United States in the weeks before Trump took office.
Prosecutors had originally recommended a lenient sentence for Flynn, who agreed to cooperate with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. They reversed that stance on Tuesday, saying Flynn had instead tried to thwart an investigation of his former business partner, Bijan Rafiekian. |

So now all of a sudden Obama feels he needs to be heard, gotta love his timing.
Is he feeling some pressure?
Now he feels he needs to defend his DOJ? My DOJ was better than the current one, they don't understand justice.
Too bad he didn't feel that way in regards to the "fast and furious" program.
Too bad he didn't feel that way in regards to the IRS coming down on the conservative political organizations, just as two examples.
All of a sudden he sees the light? LOL!!!
His legacy, it's being stained bigtime, he might go down as being one of the most corrupt POTUS of all time. He always knew exactly what went down, and it wasn't American.
The same can be said for his biggest accomplice, the mainstream media. |

.. to not investigate the russians would be as stupid as stupid is as defined by low level no-level non thinkers like you. any government and military official not reporting truthfully about interactions with russia is a traitor.
