Clinton-Appointed Judge APOLOGIZES to Flynn for Treason Remark During Sentencing

Byron York: Judge's accusations mar Michael Flynn sentencing hearing
. . . Now the case will be on hold for at least a few months. But for a few moments, the craziness that can surround political debate over the Trump-Russia affair — hot tempers, unfounded charges, promiscuous accusations of treason — made its way into a federal courtroom. And Michael Flynn's future remains uncertain."  . . .
Big League Politics  "Judge Sullivan apologizes for his “treason” comments, noting that he was confused about the dates during which Flynn acted as a foreign agent.
“ 'I felt terrible about that,” he reportedly said. “I’m not suggesting he committed treason,” Sullivan adds, further apologizing for his remarks in the prior session.
"Flynn’s conduct as a foreign agent ended in mid-November of 2016, far before Trump took office.

"In another example of the thuggery that has become the American “justice system” the presiding Judge in Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s sentencing hearing suggested from the bench that Flynn should be charged with treason.
“ 'You were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the National Security Adviser to the president!” said Judge Emmet Sullivan of United States District Court for the District of Columbia, according to Steven Portnoy of CBS Radio.
“ 'Arguably, this undermines everything this flag over here stands for! Arguably, you sold your country out!” the Judge reportedly continued.
. . . 
"Townhall has reported that Sullivan said he cannot hide his “disgust” or “disdain” with Flynn’s alleged behavior.
"Does this sound like an impartial judge to anyone? The political right is steadily losing confidence in high level law enforcement and a judiciary that seem bent on destroying the lives of President Donald J. Trump and those who supported him – and rightfully so.
"This story is developing." .  . .
