Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted December 8, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 8, 2017 My guess he was on the FISA Court. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/07/judge-in-michael-flynn-case-recuses-himself.html Judge in Michael Flynn case recuses himself The judge overseeing former national security adviser Michael Flynn has recused himself from the case. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said that Judge Rudolph Contreras recused himself, but did not disclose why he had done so, CBS News reported. The case has been reassigned to Judge Emmet Sullivan, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton. Flynn’s sentencing will occur in February. Flynn pleaded guilty in federal court last week for lying to the FBI in January about his contacts with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn was charged on one count of “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI about communications exchanged with Kislyak shortly after Trump took office. Flynn said he is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Not unusual. And the judge doesn’t need to give a reason. Another example of how the judicial system outpaces the current executive branch on ethics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
