Sounds like the interactions between Judge Sullivan, Michael Flynn, and his lawyer amount to a step-by-step demolition of the Hannity/Strassel/Dershowitz talking points.
He was lying, he knew he was lying, and he wasn't entrapped by the FBI. MAGAland has been pushing a massive mound of crap for months.
Anyway, on to the next set of intricate conspiracy theories I guess. None of these people are going to pause and reflect that they were idiots.
Hannity, Pirro, et al have spent months building Sullivan up as the epitome of a just and fair judge, thinking that he was going to blow the FBI "scandal" wide open. Instead, this:
The right-wing effort to portray Sullivan as the guy who was going to use the Flynn case to blow the lid off FBI malfeasance has been going on since at least February. Not looking so hot right now. mediamatters.org/blog/2018/02/2…
The expectations game: Jeanine Pirro was predicting on Saturday that Sullivan was going to bust open the FBI scandal and vacate Flynn's sentence. Instead, Flynn got bawled out by the judge and asked for more time to cooperate with Mueller rather than face jail time.
