Judge in Flynn case recuses himself
By Josh Delk - 12/07/17 07:44 PM EST

The judge who took a guilty plea from President Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn last week has recused himself ahead of a sentencing hearing.

A court spokeswoman confirmed to Politico and other outlets that the case was reassigned after Judge Rudolph Contreras, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, recused himself.

Judge Emmet Sullivan, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, was randomly selected to take his place in the case.

This same Judge sits on FISA court and knows how warrants were obtained.

I just found this information.  I wonder if the timing of the recusal has to do with Jordan's line of questioning today at Wray's hearing.

@Bigun

I think he is smart enough to see the wheels coming off the coup attempt and is trying to find a way out.

Grab him before he leaves the country! 

But isn't it a little too late for the judge to save himself?

I  issued warrant based on evidence presented to me at the time.  He's in the clear if it stops right there.  That's why he's gettin the hell out Dodge!

This story has been reported for weeks by Levin, Hannity, Carlson, Dick Morris--(yep  you might not like him, but he is smart and is staying up on this stuff. He has a channel on Youtube). Probably others, too.

A case can be made for Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea. A case can be made to halt Mueller entirely.

Supposedly Sessions had the DOJ-IG study the whole deal.

How many other layers on these onions, and how it blows up later makes for good political drama and intrigue.

That was a couple years ago.  I wonder if he enjoyed getting the finger from the State Department?

Appointed with a term starting May 16th and the subject FISA warrant may have been nearly one of his first actions at which he was bamboozeled by the FBI.  Would be interesting to see this date in a timeline of Comey and other actions of the rogue agent.

It already sounds "too complicated," so I expect the press to ignore it.

It looks more like he didn't want to recuse himself, he was part of the crime and it was forced on him.
