More detail from before the break:

Flynn had seemed confident up until this point, refusing the judge's many offers to allow him to consult with his lawyers. After these harsh words, though, Flynn surprised the room and said "yes" when asked again if he wanted a recess. Court returns at 12:30 https://t.co/QgMqeTLOIp

For those who can't access WaPo, here's the tweet about Fox's Judge Janine embedded in the article

Here's Judge Jeanine this weekend saying Flynn was set up and praising Judge Emmett Sullivan as someone "unafraid of the swamp." She even speculated the judge could toss out the guilty plea and let Flynn walk ........ not so much as it turns out. pic.twitter.com/CbhSctbuV6
