Flynn appears to be truly sorry. He is going for redemption.

Flynn may have forgotten he was an American but it look like has remembered.

Most of the wrong "right" claimed he would withdraw his plea because of some bullshit about the FISA warrant being tainted. It was soon obvious that wasn't going to happen.

They made the usual loud and ignorant sounds, lied to cover their lies, leaped at any straw, and one even exposed himself as a legal advice giving moron who can't even state the burden of proof in the different types of court.
We all know that mouthpiece of trump lies and bullshit.
Looks like things are about to get heavy.
About to be so much on those weak and narrow shoulders.

"CNN)—The biggest story of thesentencing document filed by special counsel Robert Mueller's office on Michael Flynnis what'snotin it. There are large swaths of redactions, making it hard to see exactly what Mueller is doing -- and what specific role the Trump administration's former national security adviser is playing in it all.

But there's a single sentence in the13-page documentthat should send shivers down the spine of President Donald Trump and everyone in his inner circle. It's this: "The defendant deserves credit for accepting responsibility in a timely fashion and substantially assisting the government."

Pay specific attention to those last few words: "Substantially assisting

the government."

And then remember these things:

Flynn is the only one of the seven Trump associates who have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with the Mueller probe who bridges the divide between Trump's campaign, the transition and the presidency. Flynn was an adviser to the campaign, a member of the transition team and, for about three weeks, the administration's national security adviser.

2)Flynn pleaded guilty on December 1, 2017. That, for you calendar buffs out there, is more than a year ago. We know from the sentencing documents that Flynn has met with the special counsel's team 19 -- yes, 19! -- times during that period. We also know Mueller has delayed Flynn's sentencing four times over the last year.
document is this: Flynn may well be thekeycog of the Mueller investigation. He's been less showy than former Trump fixer Michael Cohen. And less lie-y than former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. But given that Mueller recommends no jail time for Flynn despite his crimes of lying to the FBI about the nature and extent of his contacts with Russia and Turkey during the election and transition, you can assume that the cooperation and information the former national security adviser has provided is substantial.

Flynn was the first Trump associate to plead guilty and agree to cooperate with Mueller. And a reading of the sentencing document makes clear that Flynn is providing information and guidance regarding "several" ongoing investigations: 1) a criminal investigation of unknown origin and focus 2) the special counsel investigation into Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2016 election to aid Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton and 3) a investigation of unknown origin and focus.

That's a BIG deal. Instead of a single investigation into Russian interference, there are actually (at least) three investigations being pursued, to which Flynn has been of material aid. Three!

To be clear: There is ZERO evidence in either the sentencing document or the addendum to it that suggest Trump himself is a focus of any of these investigations. We can't say the Presidentisn'ta target -- because this is an ongoing series of investigations the details of which Mueller is working hard to keep under wraps -- but we can't say heisone either.
But if I am the President or his eldest son or son-in-law or lots of other people involved in the 2016 campaign, the transition or the administration, the sentencing document on Flynn has to make me very, very edgy. He's talking -- and talking and talking. And judging from the reaction of the Mueller team, it's not just idle words; prosecutors don't recommend zero jail time for someone who hasn't been of considerable aid to their broader efforts.
The words of Flynn on the day he pleaded guilty then take on even more resonance with a year's hindsight.

"I recognize that the actions I acknowledged in court today were wrong, and, through my faith in God, I am working to set things right," Flynn said. "My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsel's Office reflects a decision I made in the best interests of my family and of our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions."

Flynn was a POS while in the military, so why should anyone believe he would change when he got out and leapt into the politic quagmire?

Trump has actually selected a number of good ex-military for positions, but Flynn never was one of the good ones.
