So you’re in front of the Judge pleading guilty to a crime you didn’t commit because the bad guys have a gun pointed at your child’s head.

That’s perjury?

Remind me never to hire you as my attorney.

1) No one was holding a gun to anyone’s head, let alone in the next room. Your absurd exaggeration was necessary though (IMO) for you to make your point because actually describing the threat would have required a reasoned argument.

2) Flynn said under oath twice that his son’s case had nothing to do with his plea.

3) In the documents released by Covington there is a statement that the government explicitly refused to agree to not prosecute Flynn’s son as part of the plea. This is consistent with Flynn himself saying there was no promise.

4) If you plead guilty to protect your son, man up and protect your son, do not weasel out and later say I no longer wish to protect my son. Be a man, lie to protect your son or go to trial. Do not lie and then girlishly say later that you want to take back your lie. Be a man.

5) People plead guilty every day every where in America in order to protect family members. Almost 100% of those people are man enough to take their medicine, not cry like a little baby later.

people plead guilty when they are not all the time when there is fbi doj and defense counsel misconduct charging flynn with perjury would be a miscarriage of justice. doj says there never was a crime, at the time flynn pled did he know that methinks not..

if the judge cant see that the law needs to be changed...

That’s right. You went to court once and did a great job. So you convinced yourself you can render definitive legal opinions.

The area we are actually discussing is self-knowledge and humility.

By all means, the system needs to be changed. Until then, competent lawyers operate within reality, something Powell has incompetently not done.

I’m sorry, but your non-sequitur response is repulsive.

I have rendered no “legal opinions”, as I have never claimed to be a legal authority. I have stated my personal opinions. Your disdain notwithstanding, everyone has a right to form and express their personal opinions, even on legal matters, unless they are proffering legal advice.

I am quite surprised you would mention humility, as it is a subject with which you appear supremely ignorant of.

Have a great day, FRiend.

Odd that you keep bashing Sidney Powell, repeatedly.

You’ve said that ....

“She blundered her way into doing something she had the initial sense not to do: move to withdraw the plea”...

“Powell has been a disaster for Flynn and for MAGA. IMO she is a grifter selling books, just like the many grifters who took advantage of the Tea Party, always to the cheers of tea party members, who were too sincere and genuine to even suspect that fellow “patriots” were manipulating them for gain.”

You claim she didn’t move to withdraw Flynn’s guilty plea, but....there’s this...

Your disdain for Powell is quite obvious.

Sidney Powell is a national treasure, as is Gen Mike Flynn.

Do you happen to work for Judge Emmet Sullivan? Just curious.

Ask Alcee Hastings, a federal judge, impeached by the House, removed from office. He went back to Florida aand the idiots there elected him to Congress.

The Attorney General should convene a federal grand jury to indict this out of control judge.

“ Flynn said under oath twice that his son’s case had nothing to do with his plea.”

Done under provable duress.

“In the documents released by Covington there is a statement that the government explicitly refused to agree to not prosecute Flynn’s son as part of the plea.”

Thus proving my point. Thanks.

"Whether pleading “not guilty” is perjury has been settled since the beginning of time. A “not guilty” plea is not a statement of fact, it is the announcement of a legal position. There is zero relevance between pleading not guilty and pleading guilty."

I don't get it. What if he pled not guilty, and he WAS guilty. Isn't that also lying to the judge's face?

How does the supposedly impartial judge get to play both judge and prosecutor?
That doesn’t look right - at all.

Sullivan has already made his distaste for Flynn abundantly clear. If he doesn’t have the sense to recuse himself, he ought to have it done for him.

I have yet to see the legal argument that Flynn did not lie to Sullivan’s face, in court, under oath, after Sullivan warned Flynn that Flynn could get in trouble for doing so.

What is that argument? Please, someone, anyone, Powell especially, tell us how Flynn did not lie to Sullivan’s face! And if Flynn lied to Sullivan’s face, how is it corrupt for Sullivan to hold Flynn in contempt?

A person who has been framed and set up is not entitled to a free pass to commit crimes as a result.
********************************************************
Well, Gratia, if you’re going to continue your jihad against General Flynn you should also incorporate pursuit of subornation of perjury and conspiracy to suborn perjury charges against the FORMER (I.e., corrupt) prosecutors and the Mueller team members who were directing those prosecutors.

And this expanded pursuit of justice by you should be part of this current Judge Sullivan TRAVESTY! OK, jihad on.
