Government lawyers urged the judge to proceed with Michael Flynn’s delayed sentencing and reject attempt by Flynn's defense team to delve into allegations against Robert Mueller’s office and the FBI

The government filing acknowledges that just one day before Flynn’s guilty plea, his former lawyers were told about an internal investigation into text messages sent by one of the FBI agents who interviewed him, Peter Strzok, including messages “that showed a preference for one of the candidates for President” — an allusion to Strzok’s expressions of support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
However, prosecutors note that at the time of the guilty plea, Flynn acknowledged he was giving up his rights to challenge the government’s evidence against him. In addition, they note that at the first sentencing hearing Sullivan held last year, he asked Flynn if he understood by continuing with his guilty plea he was “forever” forfeiting the right to challenge the circumstances under which he was interviewed.
