A sentencing date for former national security adviser Michael Flynn has been set for Dec. 18, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan indicated Wednesday.

After nearly 10 months of cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, Flynn’s attorneys and prosecutors had recently requested a sentencing date from the court. Flynn pleaded guilty in December to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials during the Trump presidential transition.

Flynn was also under federal investigation for failing to register as a foreign agent while lobbying on behalf of Turkey and making national security decisions that benefited his former business associates.

    My birthday week is already looking like it’s gonna be lit!

  2. Haven’t heard much about Trump’s Monkey lately, since he’s been singing full time, I guess.

    Even better than plucky, That is my birthday. I have a nice present to look forward to!

  3. I guess all I can hope for is that he spends some time behind bars. This guy is one of the worst.

  4. True! Not enough has been said about that.

    A total disgrace to his oath to protect the Constitution, the uniform, to his country.

    Along with Kelly, a leading sign of a Fascist wing in the US military. Very bad news.

    Maybe one day the story on him will come out.

  5. Flynn was also under federal investigation for failing to register as a foreign agent while lobbying on behalf of Turkey

    Not to mention his work as a Russian intelligence agent, under the cover of having an RT gig.
