are you fucking kidding? You think the whistleblower was tied into the dates of the Flynn case?  And knew what the judge was going to rule?  Very silly. Also This ruling doesn't affect Flynn's guilt and it could make it worse for Flynn. What happened was Flynn backed out of testifying in this case or changed what he said so, the government couldn't use him.  Without Flynn's testimony the case against Kian got weak. But if Flynn violated his cooperation agreement the government can go back to the judge and say we recommended a very light sentence before, but that was based on cooperation.  He didn't cooperate, he should do the maximum time.  They gave him breaks on other crimes, I dunno if they can indict on those or not...but the government has already told the judge they are going to submit a new sentencing memo, so Flynn may have fucked  himself. Your note on timing is just ridiculous.
