Mueller’s team on Friday once again delayed sentencing Flynn, marking the third time sentencing has been postponed.
Mueller for months has vaguely cited “the status of the Special Counsel’s investigation” for not offering a suggested sentencing date.
Over the weekend, U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan said the delays have forced the court to change its procedures in a presentence investigation. Sullivan demanded “reasons why the Court should expend the Probation Office's resources and depart from the Court's usual practice of ordering a presentence report, scheduling a sentencing date, and establishing a sentencing briefing schedule at the same time.”
Fueling intrigue in the case is a report from the House Intelligence Committee in May stating that former FBI Director James Comey testified to the committee that FBI agents did not believe that Flynn lied about talks with Russia’s ambassador.
