The judge was pissed! Told Flynn to his face that he had sold out his country.

You hate law enforcement and law and order in general. See what Trump’s done to you?

Flynn's sentencing memo making that same claim is hilarious in hindsight. Judge Sullivan was having none of that bull****.

The judge basically said "you realize that by being sentenced today, any further cooperation with the FBI won't be taken into account into your sentencing, right?"  After the recess, Flynn's lawyers regrouped and asked for the delayed sentencing hearing so that more cooperation could be taken into account in March.  Pretty easy to see that the message got through to them from the judge.

All these feeble defenses are bull**** and you know it. Federal ******* court is not Twitter or some random online forum. If the judge’s words did not make that clear, you’re more far gone than I thought.

Flynn’s lawyers are imbeciles.

The Flynn interview transcripts clearly show there was no "deception" or trickery in used in Flynn's testimony. 

Flynn himself admitted he lied to the FBI.

Flynn was director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.  To suggest he was somehow tricked or duped into lying is laughable.

Wacko opinion by a wacko.  You really ought to lay off this stuff.  It clouds your judgement, which is something you clearly can't afford.

Lotsa moronic opinions and predictions among the autocratic, law hating right of which you’re a proud member. So many pundits thought this Reagan appointee would throw out his plea b/c of supposed government overreach. Instead, the judge said Mueller was being way too lenient. You hate being called a cultist, but you just keep sinking deeper into irrationality. Irrational cultist slapping his forehead. ↘️

Note to Michael Flynn: Federal Court Is Not Twitter

A muscular public-relations strategy is often a terrible litigation strategy.

(excerpt)

.......Flynn and his lawyers faced the same problem that has bedeviled Trump and Michael Cohen and Michael Avenatti and Paul Manafort and several other figures in this circus we call life after 2016: A muscular public-relations strategy is often a terrible litigation strategy. Time and again, these players have heard their public statements quoted back at them in court to undermine their legal positions. But Flynn’s error was even more grievous—he incorporated media spin into a sentencing brief.

Flynn’s lawyers argued in his brief that the FBI had wronged him: wronged him by discouraging him from having an attorney present during his interview, by failing to warn him that false statements during the interview would be a crime, and by not telling him that his answers were inconsistent with their evidence so that he could correct himself. The Flynn-as-Deep-State-victim narrative was pleasing to Trump partisans and Mueller foes, but suicidally provocative to a federal judge at sentencing.

Federal judges demand sincere acceptance of responsibility from people pleading guilty, especially when they’re cooperating with the government, and especially when they’re asking for a lenient sentence. Flynn’s sentencing arguments effectively told Sullivan that Flynn saw himself as a victim rather than a contrite wrongdoer. Sullivan seized ominously on that issue from the start of the hearing, interrogating Flynn’s attorneys about how their argument could be consistent with acceptance of responsibility. Eventually he forced Flynn and his attorneys to concede that they were not arguing that Flynn was entrapped or that his rights were violated, and made Flynn repeat several times that he had pleaded guilty because he was, in fact, guilty. Flynn was surprised, but criminal-defense attorneys weren’t: That’s what happens when you deflect blame at your own sentencing....
