there is more out there. there you go, i just said it. speculation. the only thing that would go against that, joe, is that the fbi, the two investigators, peter stroke and the unnamed associate, they re pretty good at what they do and pretty good at getting to where they where they think, you know, flynn might be. so i don t know. the sort of confusion over why michael cohen is called a rat and flynn is wished good luck, sarah sanders was asked about that and here is her answer. michael flynn, he has cooperated with the special counsel s office and met with them 19 times. is there a particular reason why the president has not said he is a rat the way that he has said that michael cohen is a rat. look, we know michael cohen to be a liar on a number of fronts and the president s opinion is extremely clear on that front. i don t see any reason to go
might be fearful that there s even more. it feels like that. it s too late for them. if they re trying to keep michael flynn close that ship has sailed. he s met with the special counsel 19 times and judge sullivan yesterday kicked him back to the special counsel. does this not suggest, though, that the white house fears there may be more? does this not suggest that the judge thinks there s even more? does this not suggest that robert mueller thinks there may be more, that michael flynn is holding back. because it was confusing while it was going on, but if you step back, you re looking at you re going, oh, wait a second. he sent him back. wait a second, they re saying the judge is saying to flynn with his words and deeds, you have more work to do, general. yeah. you haven t done everything you need to do, general. and at the same time you ve got the white house panicking, wishing him good luck after they fired him for lying. saying he was ambushed.

being picked up specifically by flynn s lawyers got this judge a little worked up. you know, the judiciary takes its independence incredibly seriously. and there s no doubt that they ve been under attack by this administration. created rulings, done it in an independent way that honors the tradition of following the law in this country. if decision at the end of the day was granted an assess many of the law and the sentencing are regime on this particular case. he didn t play into the hands of the political types expected in this instance. and it s interesting the footnote here is that he was the judge in the ted stevens case.
