Hello from the DC federal courthouse, where a judge is holding a status hearing this a.m. to find out what's going on in Michael Flynn's case. Spotted in the security line: Michael Flynn
Michael Flynn hearing just ended -- Flynn wanted to get things moving on presentencing so when the govt is ready for sentencing (it's been delayed while he's cooperating), they can set a date sooner. Judge was reticent to make more work for probation, but struck a compromise...
... Judge said at the next status date of 8/24, if the parties are ready for sentencing, he'll look for a date 60 days out, instead of the usual 90 days. Flynn's lawyer -- who said Flynn is "eager" to be done -- and the special counsel office lawyer said they were fine with that
That was all they discussed. Judge Emmet Sullivan said he just wanted to talk to the parties and get to know them a bit before sentencing, since he wasn't the judge who handled Flynn's plea hearing. It was a very short hearing, Flynn said little
Flynn didn't say anything to reporters on his way out of the courthouse, he quickly got into a black SUV as a few protesters shouted "lock him up"
