He plead guilty, then withdrew his plea, then the government withdrew its prosecution, but the judge, welll. I think he was not technically convicted.
What if later it’s proven that action against Flynn was part of a seditious action as part of the coup?
It was still a pending issue that the please was actually heard by Contreras who then recused; it seems law is clear, that was not a valid plea and that Sullivan needed to solicit again to be kosher but he never did so.
“He plead guilty, then withdrew his plea, then the government withdrew its prosecution, but the judge, welll. I think he was not technically convicted.”
Flynn’s judge is more than likely done for. I think pardoning Flynn meant that he wouldn’t be able to sue for some reason. If there is evidence the judge is corrupt and given what the DOJ said, Flynn would probably be able to go after the people that were out to get him legally.
Assuming that is true, POTUS has to know that Flynn would still be in the clear to take on his enemies and get compensated for the hell they put him through despite being pardoned.
