Holy moly. The government wanted to wait on the IG Report before the sentencing on Flynn could proceed. So here's some evidence of why they were waiting.
Pientka was willing to allow false information to get by in order to obtain the FISA warrant against Carter Page. Would he also be willing to allow false information to get by in order to prosecute Flynn? Is that discovery the reason why the government asked Judge Sullivan to hold up on the sentencing? Sounds plausible to me.
( Note: The tweet uses the stronger word "lie", whereas I am a bit more restrained and use the phrase "get by". Did Pientka lie? Well, if the shoe fits... The use of the phrase "get by" is the kind of way the IG Report is written. Other folks may use another language. )
The IG Report found that under Pientka's supervision and approval, there were incorrect factual assertions in the 1st FISA app.— Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) December 13, 2019
Put more bluntly, Pientka knowingly lied to the FISA court. pic.twitter.com/fgIEcIMUY3
