AW, can't handle competition?
Which ones are legitmate news gathering organizations, and which ones simply pull it out of the sky and make it up as they go along?

Which "conservative" publications do you recommend that are legitimate reporting outfits?

And up front - ZeroHedge, Conservative Tree House, InfoWars, Hannity, the Enquirer, Gateway Pundit, Limbaugh, et cetera are NOT news organizations. They are publishers of opinion and unsupportable fantasy, which skews to the "entertainment" side of media. Occasionally there is some truth published on one of these, but mostly they are simply in it to make money preying on their low information audience. HuffPo and MM are right there with them.

You cannot do it.
So, then, tell us - Where do you go to check out the facts of a story, or do you simply believe whatever you're told if it agrees woth your preconceived ideas...?

Anyone who begins from the premise that anything you say is very likely not the truth is not going to go far wrong.

Mueller cannot proceed if some of the evidence he is relying on is compromised.

Its as simple as that, I don't understand why you people can't understand this.
I didn't attempt to offer the reasons why the judge has allowed the time.

I simply stated that he did.

And that is a plain fact.

None of the conspiracy theories are plain facts.

I think it's high time to end a lot of the supposition that's floating around like a thick fog and begin sticking to the facts. I'm sure that new facts will emerge that will change older facts, but only the facts are important.

It doesn't matter how the judge feels at all. The only thing that counts is the facts. I think you and I can both agree that whatever Flynn's outcome will be, it is best for us all to have his judgement come from fact alone, with no emotion attached to it.

If Flynn's evidence is corrupt, then he deserves fair treatment under the law. Whatever that treatment is, or how justice is reached doesn't matter to me as long as it is fair and equal.

Good justice is cold justice.

Flynn sentencing postponed AGAIN. Why?

"Nothing would be more devastating for Mueller’s political objectives than to sentence General Flynn – and then have the nature of an entrapment scheme exposed."

Read the actual FBI texts which suggest this was a setup

I guess the conspiracy site didn't get the message:

Flynn ready to be sentenced in Russia probe, his lawyer and special counsel tell court
After months of delays, Judge Emmet Sullivan is now likely to move swiftly to schedule Flynn's sentencing date, which the parties requested for Nov. 28 or the following week.

Sullivan has said it would occur within about 60 days of the two sides agreeing they are ready to proceed with a presentencing report and court date for Flynn, the former intelligence officer who spent three decades in the military before entering the political ring.

Heroes like Flynn want to get on with making money, bedding women and partying with ice and butter sculptures on the taxpayer dime.

Meanwhile, the dude who took a joyride in a car rots in jail.

Equal Justice for All.

If one ever needed a small peek into the true Military Industrial Complex, they'd look at Fat Albert, Flynn, Petraus and the legions of other "heroes" that costs us trillions and get us nothing in return except deficits and debt.

You are correct, both sides told the judge that they are ready to proceed to sentencing.

It would seem all the speculation that Flynn would challenge his plea can be put to rest, it appears there will be no challenge.
