I hope this works out for him. Withholding pertinent evidence is a punishable crime.
Flynn needs to withdraw his plea and sue the snot out of the federal government for false prosecution.
I disagree.
Evidently, his guilty plea was part of a deal to keep Mueller from going after his son, some lobbying issue, and his family finances.
If he withdraws, then those things are open again to Mueller.
Flynn should allow these revelations to force a judge to vacate the plea. That would mean Flynn did not violate the agreement. Should mean that Mueller cannot do so either.
The case should be thrown out. General Flynn can’t get his money or reputation back but it does seem like a bit of gray area about his honesty. But drag him through court, no way. If the court doesn’t fix this, Trump should pardon him.
He will do just that.
1. In December the new judge Sullivan told Mueller to present exonerated evidence if there was any to Flynn and his legal counsel
2. In January then Mueller asked for a stay of sentencing Flynn, pushing it to May
3. In February, Mueller asked that the evidence he turned over to Flynn legal counsel be sealed
4. We still don’t know about why Judge Contreras was removed from the Flynn case, after he accepted Flynn’s guilty plea (many suspect he was on the FISA court when Carter Page application for warrant came through)
All of this put together spells that Mueller will have to drop the case
From what I understood, the only reason Flynn pleaded guilty was because they broke him financially and threatened to go after his son.
I’ve been following Judge Sullivan for quite a while now - Flynn hit the jackpot when Contreras was forced to recuse and Sullivan ended up as his judge.
The Flynn political persecution and miscarriage of justice is not just finished, there will be blowback on Mueller
Manaforte will skate on whatever they have on him, if anything
They never had anything on Carter Page
Nunes just gutted the Trump Russian Collusion pretext for the Mueller investigation and Grassley is firing the opening salvo on the Uranium One scandal that both Mueller and Comey covered up
Soon the hunters will become the hunted
The Flynn case was built on an illegal FISA warrant. Any information obtained from an illegal warrant cannot be used as evidence.
Doesnt signing a plea agreement preclude one from reversing it?
Perhaps they can appoint as independent counsel Henry Schuelke when the IG report comes out. Whomever is appointed needs to have an outside the beltway and a government corruption pedigree.
Gen Mike Flynn was always a great guy and he must be reimbursed the millions in legal fees he has spent defending himself against unethical and malicious Federal prosecution. If this requires a special law be passed then Republicans need to man up and jam it through Congress for DJT to sign. And make a big deal about it with all attendant publicity.
UP WITH MIKE FLYNN! DOWN WITH ROBERT MUELLER!! and his mad dog second in command ANDREW WEISSMANN who is undoubtedly behind the Flynn prosecution. Mueller is too senile, he is the convenient figure head.
