The Evidence Coming out of the Flynn Case Makes Mueller Look Worse and Worse

As Michael Flynn stood for sentencing Tuesday, you could imagine the special counsel attorneys audibly exhale in relief as he declined to withdraw his guilty plea. Until that moment, it was an open question whether Judge Emmet Sullivan would excuse the government’s now apparent misconduct.

Instead, the judge blasted Flynn for “selling out” his country and wondered whether a “treason” charge might have been considered at some point. The Federalist’s Sean Davis hypothesized that the judge was frustrated by the Flynn team attempting to have his cake and eat it too. If Flynn wanted to attack the government’s abuse of constitutional rights, fine—then withdraw the plea. If not, then drop it. . .

Flynn is a big boy with big boy attorneys. He’s the only one who can legally object to the mishandling of his case, and he chose not to do so. But as Americans, we should nevertheless be concerned. . .

Flynn entered his guilty plea on November 30, 2017. Judge Rudolph Contreras, who accepted Flynn’s plea, mysteriously recused himself approximately one week later. Then, in March of 2018, newly public Strzok texts revealed one possible explanation for the mysterious recusal: the new texts showed Strzok was so friendly with Contreras that Strzok wondered whether there might be a conflict of interest for the judge to rule upon warrant applications involving Strzok. Since Strzok was the key witness in the Flynn lying case, some have speculated that Contreras was ordered off the case.

We’ve also known for some time that McCabe had a vendetta against Flynn because Flynn helped a woman accusing McCabe of retaliating for a discrimination complaint. What Flynn may not have known at the time he entered the plea is the government’s case relied on McCabe’s reliability.
