Judge sets hearing in Flynn case

Yes comrade, and if you take the time to read the article and not the bullshit in the headline, the judge wants to know what the hell is going on and why the Flynn case is being handled differently.

However, the prosecution and the defense said they wanted the court to begin preparation of a pre-sentencing report that a probation officer readies before any sentencing hearing.

That request led Sullivan to ask both sides to file a new statement about why the report should be ordered up without the usual procedure of setting a sentencing hearing at the same time.

The repeated delays in Flynn's sentencing have led to speculation that prosecutors believe his testimony could be useful at some future trial, or that the sentencing process might disclose some aspect of the investigation that Mueller still wishes to keep secret. Some Flynn allies have even suggested he might seek to withdraw his plea, although his lawyers have given no indication of that.

The new submission Monday morning didn't shed much light on Flynn's role in Mueller's investigation or why sentencing the retired Army general now would be problematic.

Something about that language seems to have irked Sullivan, prompting him to call in lawyers for both sides, plus the defendant. "Mr. Flynn is directed to attend," the judge's brief order said.
