Judge Who Took Michael Flynn’s Guilty Plea Recuses Himself – But Why?!

So… this seems fishy.

The Federal judge that took Michael Flynn’s guilty plea has stepped aside from the case… but refuses to say why.

Hmmm…

According to this:

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia judge presiding over the criminal case for President Donald Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has been recused from handling the case, a court spokeswoman said on Thursday.

According to a court filing, U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras, who presided over a Dec. 1 hearing where Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia, will no longer handle the case.

Now Flynn’s sentencing will be overseen by Judge Emmet Sullivan.

Court spokeswoman Lisa Klem did not say why Contreras was recused, and added that the case was randomly reassigned.

Obama appointed Judge Rudolph Contreras to fill a vacancy on the United States District Court for DC in 2011.

Flynn has said he will provide ‘full cooperation’ to Special Counsel Robert Mueller in his Russia probe following his stunning guilty plea a week ago.

‘My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the special counsel’s office reflect a decision I made in the best interest of my family and of our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions,’ Flynn said in a statement.

Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., hiding the extent to which he discussed a rollback of Obama-era sanctions.

While ABC initially reported this was the dreaded RUSSIAN COLLUSION, and liberals were dancing in the streets at the thought of a legitimate political crisis… it was discovered that this happened AFTER President Trump won the election… so really it’s not even a deal.

He’s just guilty of lying about it.

I’m rally curious as to why the judge recused himself.

My best guess is there’s evidence of him talking crap about President Trump or the case, sort of like that disgraced FBI agent, and he’s being proactive.

Who knows. Hopefully we get to the bottom of it.
