Judge Sullivan is making sure it’s abundantly clear that Michael Flynn is pleading guilty because he’s guilty. That he lied to the FBI, that he knew it was wrong to lie to the FBI.

Judge Sullivan giving Flynn one final shot to withdraw his guilty plea. Judge asks if he wants to proceed.

FLYNN: “I would like to proceed.”

Because you’re guilty?

FLYNN: “Yes, your honor.”

Now proceeding.

Flynn concurred, after Sullivan said he was not trying to trick Flynn, but wanted to know if he wanted to postpone sentencing or reconsider his plea.
“I would like to proceed your honor,” Flynn said.
“Because you are guilty of this offense?” the judge said.
“Yes, your honor."

Trump and some of his allies have downplayed Flynn’s lies to the FBI, but Judge Sullivan said:  “A high-ranking official of the government" making false statements in the White House is a "very serious offense.”

Sounds like the interactions between Judge Sullivan, Michael Flynn, and his lawyer amount to a step-by-step demolition of the Hannity/Strassel/Dershowitz talking points.

It’s almost too fun watching Judge Sullivan expose @AlanDersh @seanmdav @MZHemingway Bongino and Lewandowski for their stupid little theories about FBI/Mueller misconduct.

Flynn is guilty and he admits he lied. He isn’t claiming misconduct. The fantasies at @FDRLST are done.

Flynn's also exposing the FBI agents who actually interviewed Flynn that opined he wasn't lying.
