The old bait and switch. Or the switcheroo. A favorite shell game played by elites in The Swamp.
President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, will face a different judge to be sentenced than the one who took Flynn’s guilty plea to a felony false statement charge last week, court records show.
Judge Emmet Sullivan was ‘randomly’ assigned to take over the case after Judge Rudolph Contreras recused himself.
A court spokeswoman confirmed that the reassignment of the case was due to Contreras’ recusal, but did not immediately respond to a query about the reason.
Sullivan is an appointee of President Bill Clinton, while Contreras was appointed by President Barack Obama.
