You need to read the whole exchange of information....not some cherry picked quotes from a pro trump lover blog.
The judge jumped down Flynn's ass and his lawyers for trying to act as if Flynn got fooled.

“I’m going to be frank with you: This crime is very serious,” Sullivan said, highlighting more than once how Flynn was a high-ranking official who lied to the FBI on White House grounds.
Sullivan described how Flynn worked as an unregistered agent of a foreign power while serving as a Trump adviser, later correcting his statement. But in that exchange, the judge pointed to a flag behind him and said Flynn’s conduct arguably undermined “everything this flag” stands for.
At the start of Tuesday’s hearing, the judge pressed defense attorneys about a court memo
that appeared to suggest federal investigators led Flynn to lie during his January 2017 FBI interview. The filing noted Flynn was not warned that lying to the FBI was illegal, and that he did not have counsel present during the interview.
Sullivan said the filing “raised some concerns” with the court, and questioned how it was consistent with Flynn’s acceptance of responsibility.
Kelner explained the filing was meant to distinguish Flynn’s case from those of former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and former Skadden associate
Alex van der Zwaan, who were sentenced to prison terms of 14 days and 30 days, respectively. The “aggravating circumstances” in the Papadopoulos and van der Zwaan cases don’t apply to Flynn, Kelner said, adding the former national security adviser “fully accepts responsibility” and “stands by his guilty plea.”
Kelner later emphasized that Flynn’s attorneys, not Flynn, had written that filing.
The judge also squarely asked Flynn in the morning if he wished to challenge the circumstances in which the FBI interviewed him.
“No, your honor,” Flynn replied.
Asked if he was continuing to accept responsibility for his false statements, Flynn said: “I am, your honor,” before he re-entered his guilty plea before the court.
