Since I have the Red Baron on ignore, let me know when he chirps.
Can you tell from my posts below that I finally decided read up on all this Flynn bullshit? Looks like Eli got this right, and you guys are just hoping to drown him out, because most non-anti-Trumpers don't care enough to read up on this stuff (like me until tonight).

I'll check back in later to see how you and Chris do after you read up on the subject you've been misleading people about.
I expect that Chris will just make some unsupported personal accusations of treason, or perhaps give me a link to a book that will tell me all about this stuff.
I expect you to address me with a pet name at least once, and tell me 4 more times how crazy Baron and I are.

I certainly criticized that Judge about how he treats attorneys something he’s notorious for.
So what.

If you think he did, I would be interested in hearing your legal theory.

His disgust was because he thought Flynn represented a foreign country while he was national security advisor. But, the judge was wrong. That had never been alleged by anyone until the judge brought it up in court today. I'm guessing the judge gets his news from the same blogs read by ND521.
advisor to a major party prez candidate who then appoints you to be national security advisor. A foreign govt that just paid you $500K.
You guys really are both sick and desperate.
Thanks Judge Sullivan for speaking for the nation.
A candidate that the Dems begged to run, no less.
I'm not sure Chris94 realizes this yet.
Actually, I have no idea what Flynn's title was during the campaign.
Only one part of his traitorous behavior. The other part was undermining sanctions enacted by the elected prez. Forget about that one?
People in Reagan's and Obama's administration were corresponding with enemies before they took office. This is quite common. Flynn was working with Turkey (an ally) and the Russian backed Ukrainian leadership...both of whom Podesta was working for.
The unregistered lobbyist thing I also understand is commonplace, and is usually rectified with a retroactive filing and a fine.
If you want to charge all these unregistered lobbyists with treason, be my guest. Please just be consistent.
for whom the sanctions lifting was payback.

get elected. You have no idea what was said in that conversation or in any others that may have happened. The judge did. And he was pissed.
Also a Logan Act violation.

He represented a NATO ally without registering as a lobbyist. Tony Podesta did the same thing with the same country. Both filed retroactive lobbying registrations. Flynn was charged, and Podesta was not. Hmmm.
Also, the lie he is charged with had nothing to do with his lobbying. His interview with the FBI was not about his lobbying.
I'm starting to think you either don't know what Flynn did (even though you lob accusations), or you are just counting on everyone else here on UHND not knowing what Flynn actually did.
No way he would lie if this was on the up-and-up.
Keep in mind that the judge knows a lot more than we do. He’s seen the classified stuff. And he’s pissed.
Flynn was charged with lying about specific things discussed with the Russian ambassador. You didn't list any of those things. So, the "lies" you are talking about were not the "lies" being discussed in court, or being charged by the FBI.
I assume when you say he "lied" you are talking about his failure to register as a lobbyist, something that is fairly common, and handled with retroactive filings like the ones Podesta filed because like Flynn, he also failed to register as an agent for the Russian-backed Ukrainian president (I'm guessing that is what you guys mean when you say "the Russians"), and the nation of Turkey. Same clients as Flynn. Same offense as Flynn. Do you think all unregistered lobbyists are traitors to the country? (I put "lie" in quotes because it is not clear to me that being an unregistered lobbyist is the same thing as lying.)
If my assumption is incorrect, and you are talking about a different "lie" that I didn't mention above, let me know.
But tedious is not necessarily truthful and can still be misleading. However, Treason is technically the wrong term. Flynn lied to the FBI about his dealings with the Head Russian spy, but more importantly he Betrayed his country, betrayed his office, and betrayed his oath of office. He was certainly opened up to blackmail by a foreign government. Sometimes people that serve with great distinction become jaded and believe they are owed something for all those good years. Bad judgement and decisions then follow and the reputation of distinction is ruined. Flynn’s lies and betrayals are not a partisan issue or a political point of view. This behavior is criminal and should have consequences. If Podesta did the same type of things as Nedo says then he should be charged. But the position that Flynn had in the campaign, transition team, and administration make this rise to the attention of the country and SC
We don’t know what he told the FBI. We don’t know what he said to the Russians. We don’t know what happened in Moscow, when he took money from Putin.
We know it was serious enough for the DAG to go to the White House and warn them that Flynn was lying, and was compromised. Open to being blackmailed.
And we know that Mueller and the judge know what went down. And both think it’s serious; the latter thinks it’s treasonous. Mueller might too.
We don’t know everything, Ned. But we know enough to draw some logical conclusions. Unless we are willfully ignorant.
You are the one doing the misleading. That’s what he was charged with.
Can’t make it up.
You should probably see if Baron has posted at all on this subject. I was kidding earlier when I said he roasted you. I was just trying to get you to take him off ignore. Seems weird if you keep insulting someone you ignore.
skills than the facts warrant.

...an unregistered foreign agent. And lied about it. Repeatedly.
They are nothing if not principled and consistent.
And, just like Flynn, he filed a retroactive registration. Podesta not prosecuted. Flynn prosecuted. That's the country you want: one where people are prosecuted for the poltical affilation, not the crime they commit. If their political affiliation is correct, they get immunity or at least no prosecution.

And who ever said he shouldn’t be prosecuted?

Of course, why would NBC mention that?...they don't want to sabotage Podesta/Obama.
You have gone full blown Baron.

continued to refuse during his own short tenure.
All to please his paymasters.
and after Mueller's counsel confirmed that Flynn had not.
Do you think a Judge has a good day when, during a sentencing hearing, he questions whether a defendant has committed treason and then has to walk his questioning back in a groveling sort of way?
Picture yourself in Flynn's shoes. You pleaded guilty to perjury. You should get no time, as 2/3 of defendants who plead guilty to perjury do. But your sentencing judge then accusingly asks you if you committed treason. Is this a good day in court in your mind?
I don't know why I am responding to you. You like to stir up shit just because.
Flynn's plea and his cooperation were both done to avoid much bigger charges.
He served honorably for 30+ years; only in the last three did he turn into a traitor. He was unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as National Security Advisor to the President.
Let that sink in, and pretend - just for a second - to care about your country.
You said: "He was unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as National Security Advisor to the President. Let that sink in."
Only, he was not "an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as National Security Advisor to the President."
All of Flynn's lobbying was done before he became National Security Advisor. The judge was wrong on that, and your biggest point against Flynn is false. GIven that your first theory of treason is based on a falsehood, I would love to see if you have another theory of how he was a traitor.
I am often amazed that they believe the stuff that they spew, and I am amazed that they have an association to ND.
reminds me of another great American

He didn’t walk back his comments about his disgust or dismay or that Flynn arguably sold out his country.
Treason because if it’s definition is impossible to prove. Doesn’t mean that one isn’t a traitor which Flynn clearly is.
He did walk back his comments about treason and yes, Flynn is not a traitor.

Anywhere sane and rational, he definitely is.
Can’t wait for all of those unmasking prosecutions by the way. Remember, the real story?
what to say.
As for the others, there waiting for someone to read them the answers.
