continue to try to pull out of a hat, to keep the judge from pronouncing his sentence. we know he wants a presidential pardon. it would appear he s at at end of his rope as to what he can do to continue to delay his federal court sentencing. we re waiting to hear at any time from the judge in the case. the inspector general report is out, and offers flynn no help for this somewhat crazy defense he and his fox news lawyers have been mounting in court. now when it comes to rick gates, we expect we will hear from prosecutors about the rick gates sentencing tomorrowment some will be filed under seal. it s not known if the ongoing criminal matter pertains to mike flynn. the mine flynn case is open. it could pertain to anybody else from trump land. the criminal cases adjacent to the president, all of these criminal cases, so many are live and underway.
them. flynn has switched to a different legal team, a fox news pundit legal team. the legal team has made over the top allegations about the evil justice department and evil fbi and innocent mike flynn being targeted by deep state, and the fbi themselves being the real criminals. sentencing was delayed again because his new lawyers said there was this inspector general report at the justice department which would shed important new light on the bogus case against mike flynn. the judge in flynn s case, the same one who sent him away a year ago and said you might want to help yourself more before you hear the sentence. that same judge agreed to once again delay flynn s sfentencing until after the inspector general s report came out so everybody could see what the inspector general concluded about the propriety of the case,
that is one of the sections of the inspector general report that discusses you, and your involvement at the outset of the russia investigation. let me just ask you whether you take any issue with the way that you appear in this report and how you feel about it overall. i m fine with their mention of me. i mean, i think this is a predijous piece of work that reflects on the inspector general and their team. there are a number of serious flaws and irregularities in the fisa process. the fbi as you said is going to embrace those and commit to reforms that the department of justice will support but on the key issues, the grievances by congressional republicans who asked for this investigation that this was a witch hunt, that this was spying on the campaign. this was an effort to, you know, foment a coup, there could not be a more utter and complete
