Reacting to Judge Emmet Sullivan’s tongue-lashing of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn in court Tuesday, former FBI special agent and current CNN analyst Asha Rangappa had a straightforward read: “This judge don’t play.”
Referring to Flynn’s claims in a sentencing memo that FBI agents who interview him last year may have acted inappropriately, Rangappa said: “You don’t make those kinds of claims in a court document, alleging serious malfeasance, misconduct by the FBI — that calls into question your plea deal, your plea agreement — and then not expect the judge to, A, question you about it, and then, when you backtrack, to get, I think, understandably upset.”

Exactly…hope this judge postpones sentencing for the longest time possible to increase Flynn’s agony based solely on this ridiculous stunt.
Flynn wanted it both ways and he’s about to get it both ways.
Judges tend to take what goes on in their courtroom seriously.
Seems all for the best really.
Who are his dumb attorneys? They screwed up.
Bad and why it’s bad.
