Tra i numerosi collaboratori di Donald Trump finiti nelle sabbie mobili della giustizia americana spicca in questi giorni la figura del generale Flynn che era arrivato ad essere addirittura National Security Advisor. Ovvero il massimo consulente del presidente Donald Trump per tutti i problemi della sicurezza nazionale.
Il giudice Sullivan deve emettere una sentenza su questo generale.
Leggete sotto che cosa ha dichiarato rivolgendosi a questo generale che per soldi e stupidità ha infangato la bandiera e svenduto la sua nazione per fare gli interessi di altri paesi.
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Tuesday postponed the sentencing of Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s first national security adviser, after warning Mr. Flynn that he could face prison for lying to federal investigators about his conversations with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition and hiding his role lobbying for Turkey.
At Mr. Flynn’s sentencing hearing in Federal District Court in Washington, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan called Mr. Flynn’s crimes “a very serious offense” and said he was not hiding his “disgust” at what Mr. Flynn had done.
“All along you were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the national security adviser,” the judge told Mr. Flynn. “Arguably that undermines everything that this flag over here stands for. Arguably you sold your country out.”
But Judge Sullivan gave Mr. Flynn the option of delaying the sentencing until he had completed his cooperation agreement with federal prosecutors. “I cannot assure that if you proceed today you will not receive a sentence of incarceration,” Judge Sullivan told Mr. Flynn.
After a short recess, Mr. Flynn returned to the courtroom to take the judge up on his offer.
Mr. Flynn faces up to six months in prison, but federal prosecutors have recommended a lenient sentence, including the possibility of probation, because Mr. Flynn has provided “substantial help” with multiple criminal inquiries.
During the sentencing hearing, Judge Sullivan questioned Mr. Flynn and his lawyer about their earlier suggestion that F.B.I. agents might have tricked Mr. Flynn by failing to inform him before they interviewed him nearly two years ago that lying to them would constitute a federal crime.
