Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has once again delayed sentencing for former Trump official Michael Flynn, according to court documents released Friday.

Flynn, the former Trump campaign official who briefly served as national security advisor to the president before being fired, pleaded guilty last year to making false statements to the FBI.

“Due to the status of the Special Counsel’s investigation, the parties do not believe that this matter is ready to be scheduled for a sentencing hearing at this time,” the joint status report obtained by Fox News read.

The filing marks the third time that the sentencing for Flynn has been postponed.

It was a joint status report, so the clear inference is that Flynn wants the delay too.

I'm pretty darned sure you are far from alone in that!

Flynn is in the weakest possible position.  He ran out of money early on and has hovered between bankruptcy and being ground under Mueller's heel ever since. At this point it's not a case of what Flynn wants. It's a case of him not being able to afford the legal firepower to to do much of anything beyond simple acquiescence.

Wait.  Somebody's being deliberately bankrupted by the legal system?  This is inconceivable!

Lawyers would never make the process into the punishment!  Preposterous.

I haven’t heard you proposing that the government should pay everyone’s defense bills.  Until you do, you’re just a hypocrite.

It's one or the other?  Either have the government pay or not?  How about Prosecutors with infinite money
get kicked off the bar for deliberately impoverishing defendants.

False dichotomy.  Not gonna argue it with you, I'm not in the mood for games.

I hear what you're saying.  I mean, it's not like Mueller has ever abused the power of Fedzilla in the past or anything.

Horseshit.  He's worth millions and gets a six figure retirement pension.  They came to a plea agreement early because his son was also in legal jeopardy.  It had nothing to do with finances.  The lawyers have filed joint sentencing delay motions sporadically since.  There's no way he's racking up anywhere near the billable hours to burn through his fortune.

Flynn's worth about $7M and McCabe is worth about $11M.  Both are whining about legal fees and set up defense funds.  No word on how much Flynn's has made, but McCabe raised at least $500K within days of being set up.  Whoever's donating to either man's fund is being taken for a ride.

It had nothing to do with finances.

Yeah, that's why he had to sell his house to pay his lawyers.

Yeah right.  Apparently, your accusation about NTers never telling the truth was really just an admission of your own mendacity.

I've been over this before.  He sold the Alexandria house, because his career in DC was done the second he got fired by both Obama and Trump within three years.  One president fires you for insubordination, the other for lying.  Good luck getting work inside the beltway after that.

Exactly. Especially in this instance. Mueller has no case against Trump, not a single piece of evidence in nearly two years of investigation that Donald Trump or his campaign “colluded” with “Russians.” Not now, not in the campaign, not ever.

The process is the only weapon they have: Mueller has nothing criminal to get him on. The plan has always been to destroy the president politically, not criminally because that’s all the democrats have.

Uhhh, you are aware that this concerns the indictment and plea of Flynn, not Trump.
