Mueller delays sentencing Flynn

patience. ... I only hope it is not "overlooked" because "a long career of service; placing his life on the line for your safety": BULLSHIT1
 
I said this back when Flynn was arrested, that the sentencing will not take place until Mueller is done with Flynn.

Strzok interviewed Flynn; and December was well before it became apparent Strzok was effectively fired by Mueller for extreme political bias in a politically sensitive investigation.

If Flynn’s lawyer is sitting on his hands while knowing all that, Flynn needs to fire him and find a new lawyer.

That simply means Flynn is still providing valuable information.

Sure it does, for a lawyer you don't know shit about criminal law, you charge them with the biggest crime, then get them to confess to the entire conspiracy off the rip and offer them immunity in exchange for their testimony:

Nevertheless, as I explained in connection with George Papadopoulos (who also pled guilty in Mueller’s investigation for lying to the FBI), when a prosecutor has a cooperator who was an accomplice in a major criminal scheme, the cooperator is made to plead guilty to the scheme. This is critical because it proves the existence of the scheme. In his guilty-plea allocution (the part of a plea proceeding in which the defendant admits what he did that makes him guilty), the accomplice explains the scheme and the actions taken by himself and his co-conspirators to carry it out. This goes a long way toward proving the case against all of the subjects of the investigation.

That is not happening in Flynn’s situation. Instead, like Papadopoulos, he is being permitted to plead guilty to a mere process crime. A breaking report from ABC News indicates that Flynn is prepared to testify that Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians — initially to lay the groundwork for mutual efforts against ISIS in Syria. That, however, is exactly the sort of thing the incoming national-security adviser is supposed to do in a transition phase between administrations. If it were part of the basis for a “collusion” case arising out of Russia’s election meddling, then Flynn would not be pleading guilty to a process crime — he’d be pleading guilty to an espionage conspiracy.

Understand: If Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador had evinced the existence of a quid pro quo collusion arrangement — that the Trump administration would ease or eliminate sanctions on Russia as a payback for Russia’s cyber-espionage against the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic party — it would have been completely appropriate, even urgently necessary, for the Obama Justice Department to investigate Flynn. But if that had happened, Mueller would not be permitting Flynn to settle the case with a single count of lying to FBI agents. Instead, we would be looking at a major conspiracy indictment, and Flynn would be made to plead to far more serious offenses if he wanted a deal — cooperation in exchange for sentencing leniency.

To the contrary, for all the furor, we have a small-potatoes plea in Flynn’s case — just as we did in Papadopoulos’s case, despite extensive “collusion” evidence. Meanwhile, the only major case Mueller has brought, against former Trump-campaign chairman Paul Manafort and an associate, has nothing to do with the 2016 election. It is becoming increasingly palpable that, whatever “collusion” means, there was no actionable, conspiratorial complicity by the Trump campaign in the Kremlin’s machinations.

Who gives a shit when he left? Strzok who is now on the record of wanting an insurance policy in the case of a Trump victory conducted the interview in which Flynn allegedly confessed, then Mueller threatened Flynn's son to force him to confess, it's called fruit from the poison tree.

I would think anything Strzok touched would compromise the investigation.

Which is why I think they are delaying Flynn’s sentencing due to ‘the status of the Special Counsel’s investigation’. That, and things are up in the air until the Memo comes out.

I’d like to see someone get nailed for prosecutorial misconduct.
