FOX NEWS: Flynn's offenses were no worse than jaywalking.

JUDGE SULLIVAN (TO MICHAEL FLYNN, IN COURT): This crime is very serious. You can't minimize that. You sold your country out.

🔥🔥🔥
FOX NEWS: What Flynn did is like getting a parking ticket.

JUDGE SULLIVAN (to Michael Flynn, in court): You were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the National Security Adviser to the president!

This undermines everything this flag stands for!
Speaking of Fox News, @JudgeJeanine recently called Judge Sullivan, “A jurist unafraid of the swamp, a judge who has a track record of calling out prosecutorial misconduct, a man who does not tolerate injustice or abuse of power."

For once, I agree.

99.9% of Americans earn less than $10 million a year.

Taxing 0.1% of the population 70% on every dollar AFTER their first ten million would NOT harm the economy.

What other countries spend on health care & infrastructure, we spend on low taxes for the super wealthy.
This type of spending is GOOD for the economy since accumulated wealth doesn't circulate while the economic benefit of improved infrastructure, education and health care is MASSIVELY beneficial to productivity (not to mention quality of life for 320 million people).
I'm seeing this argument in conservative circles that taxing the rich is "unethical."

What utter horseshit.

What's unethical is letting people die in the street from inadequate health care just so some banker can afford a second yacht.

Right now in America people are donating money they don’t have to build a wall they don’t need to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
The GoFundMe for the Wall has raised about $3 million in 3 days.

At this rate, the Wall will be fully-funded by...2086.

Racists are bad at math.
My favorite part of all this,

Cost of border Wall:
$25,000,000,000.00

Cost of anti-border Wall device:
$15.97

“Immigrants are lazy,” said the fat white man who inherited $400 million from his daddy about people who just walked 2,000 miles to protect their kids.
*While standing on a golf course after a 2 hour work day.
You know what, I am not on your fucking team.

I am so fucking sick of the white privilege that makes mediocre white dudes like you think the world owes them something and I need to get on team white.

Just fuck right off, “Darick.”

#JudgeSullivan, United States Judge, popped off in court today, and not in a way that flatters himself:

"Arguably, you sold your country out. You were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security adviser to the president."

#FlynnSentencing US District Judge Emmett Sullivan
Setting aside that the statement is factually false, there is something about Judge Sullivan politically pious ejaculation in court that commands a closer look. In full disclosure, I don't know the judge but I appeared before him once while practicing in DC.
At that time, and ever after, I have said that I found his treatment of my clients' request to be reasonable and fair ... wrong, for sure, but judges will make errors and sometimes that is just compounded by angry vitriols or personal biases.

"We do not need a reckless president who believes SHE is above the law."
#Flynn leading chants of #LockHerUp at the RNC, saying Hillary put America at risk.
As he led this chant, he knew he was a foreign agent.
Today he was called "traitorous" by a judge.
The irony of all the Trump people who chanted #LockHerUp on their way to prison will never cease to stun.
Judge to #Flynn: "All along you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security adviser of the president of the United States. ... Arguably that undermines everything that flag over here stands for. Arguably, you sold your country out."

Serious DRAMA today in federal court... for what was supposed to be General Flynn's sentencing. Instead, sparks flew and we'll have to wait a few more months. Here are observations from inside the courtroom. /1
There are more than a dozen Flynn family members and friends in the court room. Before the hearing, their mood was somewhat jovial. People were smiling and chatting. When Flynn walked into the courtroom, he greeted his family members with a smile, saying “you made it!” /2
But the mood visibly shifted as the hearing progressed and things got much more serious. Specifically when judge admonished Flynn for lying and said, “arguably you sold your country out” and brought up questions of treason. /3

‼FINALLY a US official—Judge Sullivan—says to #Flynn what many have tip-toed around for years now:
—You were a foreign agent while serving as National Security Advisor to POTUS
—This undermines everything this flag stands for
—Arguably you sold your country out
—Is it TREASON?
Flynn cooperated but Trump doesn't call him a "rat." He even wishes him "Good Luck" in court. Also tweets he's worried about what Flynn has to say re "Russian Collusion." What's Trump gonna say now that Flynn delayed sentencing to cooperate some more & Judge brings up treason??

Follow this thread by @ryanjreilly he’s live blogging/tweeting and I’m late for my 11:30AM meeting.
Last one (as I walk into the conference room’s glass doors, it happens a lot)
DAMN, Flynn knows he messed up & Judge is in fact holding his feet to the fire Flynn created by opening the 302 door
Whoopsie Daisy
If Judge Sullivan’s name rings a bell, see thread from August he was infuriated with the Trump administration re Zero Tolerance

Michael Flynn’s sentencing hearing is now underway.
Judge Sullivan asks Flynn if he wished to challenge the circumstances by which he was interviewed by the FBI. "No, your honor."
Judge Sullivan is making sure it’s abundantly clear that Michael Flynn is pleading guilty because he’s guilty. That he lied to the FBI, that he knew it was wrong to lie to the FBI.
