The judge asked Flynn multiple times if he wanted to withdraw his guilty plea and every time Flynn said no.

After destroying Flynn, Mueller was willing to let Flynn off with no prison time, provided he did not contest the charge of lying. Mueller knew that a full-blown trial would disclose all sorts of FBI and SC improprieties. To ensure Flynn would not back out of the deal, the agreement likely threatened Flynn with father prosecution if he did not plead guilty to the lying charge. The bizarre refusal by Flynn of the Judge’s offer likely dumbfounded and ticked off Sullivan who then started intimidating Flynn with all sorts of accusations. Flynn’s stupid lawyer wasn’t smart enough to see what was going on and how hanging with the Mueller thugs was putting his client in further jeopardy. Now all bets are off and Flynn will likely get royally screwed before this crazy case is over.
Michael Flynn is a Lieutenant General. He’s his own man. The words out of his mouth are all that matters.
Judge Sullivan has since ordered Flynn to surrender his passport and remain within 50 miles of the capital.
