You might want to ask Trump if you really care. I don't.Wrong.
But a general response is: I don't know an "innocent man" or woman.
I confess I don't KNOW you, like you don't KNOW ME, but based upon my general life's experience in dealing with people, I would venture a guess you are not one. Lacking in maturity as well.
Of course a flaw in your belief is that as a matter of law all people are "presumed" innocent of a particular crime in our jurisprudence and they remain so until the Government (local, state, or Federal as the case may be) proves by a PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE that they are guilty of a specific offense for which they have been charged. And I might add that principle is the subject matter of jury instructions given in all jurisdictions throughout this country at the risk of getting the case reversed if not given. As a consequence, until Flynn is sentenced he has still not been finally convicted of an offense, so by law he is still innocent.
If at some point evidence is tossed so that he cannot be proven guilty, he remains innocent. Period. It's not up to you to decide whether he is or is not. You can "assume" that role, which you have, but like many others you "assume" it is spurious for you to do so.
So the person who doesn't know what the standard of proof for a conviction in a criminal case is saying he's right no matter what we say? As of right now he has been found guilty. Period. His sentence depends on him fulfilling his part of the plea bargain.
That REALITY probably will not eliminate your delusions, but no REALITY will result in you particularly not being free of delusional thoughts, whether cultivated by a misguided childhood or later induced by ingestion of foreign substances excessively or inappropriately whether they be intellectual concepts or material matter.

And he has been convicted. The reason they haven't sentenced him is because him cooperating is part of the deal. Not because of the new judge's order. The order said to produce the evidence in a timely manner. It has been over 3 weeks since the revised order was filed and 3 months since the original order was filed. If he doesn't keep his part they may file more charges.
You have to be convicted before you are sentenced.
