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,
witness in this experiment quire has been the president of the united states. we don t have to guess or figure out or surmise on what the president said on the call record from july 25th. the president was clear when he spoke to president zelensky that he wanted him to get involved in a political investigations in other words, the president put his own personal political interests above that of the nations, and also really jeopardize our national security. so while it appears to have been a short period of time, the evidence that we have in this case is pretty overwhelming, the testimony has been very compelling. and i do believe that we have everything we need right now to proceed.
the justice department also today had to ask for a little extra time, please. just couldn t keep up. one of the things we were expecting today was for federal prosecutors to file notice with the judge kwhowho was overseeine criminal case of this man, president trump s deputy campaign chairman, rick gates, due to notify the judge in gate s case today as to what sentence they think rick gates should get. this has been an eagerly anticipated part of this case, and indeed, part of the overall trump scandals and their criminal case components. because unlike paul manafort, the president s campaign chairman who said he would cooperate with prosecutors and then didn t, and lied to prosecutors and now he s in prison for seven-plus years because of it, unlike manafort who said he d cooperate and didn t, manafort s deputy, rick gates, who worked with manafort, both in his ukraine work, and you know, they were working for
sensitive enough that we the public won t be allowed to see what prosecutors are going to file. that was a little bit of a curve ball tonight. just as we were getting on the air, heading down to the studio a few minutes ago, we did get in the defense submission, gates defense lawyers telling the judge in his case why they think he shouldn t get any prison time. that alone is interesting but we re still waiting for what the prosecutors have to say, which should be fascinating. we ll have a little bit more on that coming up. i should also mention we originally thought we would be seeing trump national security adviser, mike flynn, it was this time last year that mike flynn was initially in court expecting to get his sentence for the felony count on which he has pled guilty. this time last year when he showed up for sentencing, that s when things fell apart for mike flynn in open court when the judge made clear flynn was going to get the book thrown at him with his sentencing judge. after
