the judge is CORRUPT as a 3 dollar bill.
CORRUPT and KNOWINGLY CORRUPT.

Sullivan should have thrown the prosecution in jail.

The judge already tried to shut this down once, if I understand correctly.

The law firm that represented Flynn for the plea deal had an unwaivable conflict they didn’t disclose to Flynn related to FARA. Judge Sullivan should allow the withdrawal on the basis alone.

"Specifically, Tuesday’s filing alleged that the prosecutors had tried to force Flynn to lie on the stand at the summer trial of his former business associate. Those allegations had previously come to the surface when prosecutors reversed their plans to call Flynn to testify at the trial."

He was pressured into it, so I hope he withdraws it even if the judge doesn’t grant it.

They don’t have much of a case against Flynn but they are also threatening his son. I wonder if he decided to cut his son loose? Maybe with the change in prosecutors he thinks they will give up.

“The judge already tried to shut this down once, if I understand correctly.”

Judge Sullivan asked Gen. Flynn under his former counsel if he wanted to withdraw his plea. Several times.

It didn’t happen then. Hopefully now, it will work out better.

“bad faith”

Black’s Law legal definition: Willful intent of wrongdoing.

Seems like some disbarment, prosecution and a civil suit is going to be in order.

Yes. And I wish there were a press conference that outlined everything that was done to him. Everything,. Whole timeline. Then watch how fast the public wakes up.

IOW, while knowing the deck was stacked against Flynn.

Now, after the new, non-biased lawyer, info on the Feds criminality+, I suspect the complicit ‘judge’ will shut their trap.

In the last 2-3 weeks, Flynn’s team asked to be able to withdraw the plea. I suspect that was verbal only.

The judge refused.

Perhaps they are submitting a document this time, to make it official so they can appeal a negative ruling.
