Federal prosecutors seek to delay Michael Flynn’s sentencing date

FOX:

Federal prosecutors are looking to move back the sentencing date for Michael Flynn after President Trump’s former national security adviser withdrew his plea in December for lying to the FBI.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington did not specifically call for a postponement of Flynn’s Feb. 27 sentencing hearing in its most recent filing, but it did propose delaying a number of approaching deadlines that would ultimately make his sentencing unlikely.

Prosecutors argue in the new filing that Flynn’s former attorneys should testify after he claimed to have received ineffective assistance from them. Flynn had previously hired the premier D.C. law firm, Covington & Burling. Federal lawyers also want Judge Emmet Sullivan to order that Flynn has waived his attorney-client privileges in his communications with Covington & Burling.

  1. Didn’t you all watch Breaking Bad?

    Did not Saul tell you to say NOTHING to the police? They are there to prosecute you and close the case to get it off the books. Not there to innocently clear up some misconception. Consider it an informal court room totally stacked against you without a layer. If they ask you how’s the weather and you say, “It’s sunny, –no, it’s partly cloudy!”, you lied to the FBI. Say nothing!

  2. “Justice is not a game, and there should be no room for such gamesmanship in the Department of Justice.” Seems like that is just what the DOJ and the FBI is doing…playing a game, and protecting its own. The double standard needs to be fixed using jail time with teeth.
