"I felt terrible about that," Sullivan says, after the prosecutor notes Flynn's conduct as a foreign agent ended in mid-Nov 2016.
"I'm not suggesting he committed treason," Sullivan adds, further apologizing for his remarks in the prior session.

Judge Emmet Sullivan asked in court today if Michael Flynn's conduct "rises to the level of treasonous activity?"
Prosecutor Brandon Van Grack, speaking for the special counsel's office, said prosecutors did not consider charging Flynn with treason.
===========================================
When asked if Flynn could have been charged with treason, the prosecutor 'wouldn't go there.'

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan DELAYS the sentencing of Gen. Michael Flynn, sets a status hearing for March 13th.
9:55 AM - 18 Dec 2018
Things may be worse than most thought. The judge seems to believe that the charge should have been treason. The prosecution does not want to charge Flynn with treason. Add that to fact that Flynn has been advertised as a big source of information. There is a bigger fish that may be charged with treason. Trump is going to be fried and breaded.
The judge is pretty much on it. He got a little too pissed off, did not quite have his facts right, and walked it back.Judge does NOT know what the hell is going on ...
It sounds like the judge thinks that Flynn should be charged with treason. Panicking yet?
Sullivan calmed down and walked it back. Sentencing is delayed, status hearing in March.It sounds like the judge thinks that Flynn should be charged with treason. Panicking yet?

Answer that should have been: you are damn right it does rise to that level.

I realize this is fast-moving stuff, but... if you're going to comment, try to keep up. Sullivan all but accused Flynn of treason, before declaring a short recess to give Flynn time to reconsider about whether he wanted to be sentenced today. After the recess, Sullivan apologized for his remarks and clarified that he wasn't actually accusing Flynn of treason.That isnt walking it back, it even worse.

He then pushed back the sentencing by a few months to give Flynn more time to cooperate, but also gave a strong signal that no matter how much Flynn sings, this will likely involve some jail time.
Of course, the delusional Trumpets are probably going to switch instantly from "Sullivan will let Flynn off!" to "Sullivan is part of the Resistance!!!" Should be fun....
How did Flynn commit treason?
Sullivan also walked back his treason questions. "I'm not suggesting" Flynn committed treason, Sullivan now said.
[/B]"I was just trying to determine the benefit and the generosity of the government," he said. "Don't read too much into the questions I ask."
Van Grack said Mueller's team has "no concern" or no reason to think Flynn committed treason.
He didn't unless you have some "special" knowledge that even Mueller does not possess. Do you??????That would depend on if you are using a legal definition of the term or a common use application of what is understood treason to be. Betraying his nation for money.
which basically means no it doesn't rise to the level of treasonous activity.

The prosecutor wouldn't go there because he doesn't have a legitimate case, anyway.
Because the Obama seeded Justice Department is full of crooks. Eric Holder openly protected Obama officials from prosecution and was the only AG to have ever been held in contemp of Congress
Keebler elf decided to recuse himself most unwisely
