Mueller again asks for delay in Flynn sentencing

[dukkha]

Special counsel Robert Mueller is again asking for a delay in the sentencing of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to court documents filed Friday.

The special counsel and attorneys for Flynn are asking for two more months before scheduling his sentencing, requesting to file another status report by Aug. 24.

“Due to the status of the Special Counsel’s investigation, the parties do not believe that this matter is ready to be scheduled for a sentencing hearing at this time,” states a joint status report filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

This is the third time that prosecutors have asked to delay sentencing for Flynn, who pleaded guilty in December to lying to FBI agents investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Flynn worked on the Trump campaign during the race and briefly served as President Trump's national security adviser before being fired after misleading senior White House officials about his Russian contacts.

According to prosecutors, Flynn lied to FBI officials about his contacts with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition. As part of his guilty plea, Flynn has been cooperating with Mueller’s team.

Other individuals linked to Trump have been ensnared in Mueller’s investigation, though Flynn is far and away the closest individual to the president to have pleaded guilty or been indicted by the special counsel.

Flynn was ousted as national security adviser in February 2017 after it was revealed that he lied to White House officials — including Vice President Pence — about his conversations with Kislyak the previous December, saying the two did not discuss Russia sanctions.

Trump's actions surrounding Flynn have been the subject of intense scrutiny. Former FBI Director James Comey testified to Congress last summer that Trump directed him to “let go” of the investigation into Flynn — an accusation the president has denied.

Mueller must have some tight squeeze on Flynn. Or Flynn is in no hurry to get sentenced. Or both.

The agents who handled Flynn’s 302’s are under investigation as of last week.

Mullet may be waiting to see how that pans out. He’s already flubbed on indicting the Russians lol.

Retard.
The longer sentencing is delayed, the better for the convict.
