If the plea was extorted by threatening Flynn with indicting his son (as his lawyer has alleged), it's not worth the paper it's written on.

My guess that this rigmarole is an attempt to prevent any hearings on the wrongdoing Flynn's lawyers and the DOJ document releases have brought to light, at least until after the election. If Biden wins, all of it will be deep-sixed.

Do you have a legal citation to support this? Every plea deal in a criminal case is signed under the threat of more serious charges, isn't it?

Couldn't the defendant who pleads guilty to manslaughter to avoid a murder charge say the same thing? "This was extortion. I was under duress when I signed that plea deal."
