A federal judge Friday suggested that former national security advisor Michael Flynn may need to testify under oath in order to withdraw his guilty plea for lying to investigators in the Russia probe.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington wrote in a brief order that Flynn’s legal team should file paperwork on whether he should hold a hearing on to set aside his guilty plea.
Such a hearing would include “testimony from Mr. Flynn and other witnesses under oath, subject to cross-examination, to show any ‘fair and just reason’ for this court to grant his motion to withdraw.
The first set of briefs from Flynn’s legal team on the issue are due January 29, according to Judge Sullivan’s order.
Flynn is currently scheduled to be sentenced on February 27. He faces between zero and six months in jail, which is the range prosecutors are seeking. Flynn’s lawyers have urged Judge Sullivan to sentence him to probation.

Perjury trap 3.0.
No way.
Hmm, if Gen. Flynn testifies under oath, what will he testify about? Where the bodies are buried?

Friday dump, again.

“Perjury trap 3.0.
No way.”
Agree and also a fishing trip into Trump.
Exactly.
But he should point to the threats that were made against his family.
Maybe he could use the Hildebeast defense. I don’t recall.
This is part of a rigorous process and the bar is high to withdraw now.
Could be an interesting witness list:

The invalidity of the FISA warrants could lead to some problems for the Feds in this case too.
Pretty much all Flynn would have to say is that the special prosecutors would go after his son for some non-crime if he didn’t plea guilty.
That would be enough to get the plea tossed out and have the prosecutors thrown off the case.
Every time I see a picture of that guy, all I can think of is: “What a pussy.”
“Flounder”?
Why does he look like a woman ?
Benedict Vindman?
I don’t think the FISA issue has anything to to do with this case. Flynn was picked up by U.S. surveillance of the Russian diplomat Kislyak, which didn’t require a warrant.
Sadly it wouldn’t WASCWatch. That is not the way the law works. The prosecutor is allowed to make threats against your family, your dog, anything he wants. It is not illegal.
Blurry photo maybe hides the Adam’s apple, assuming there is one. Anyone know if Vindman has a wife or sig other?
Sounds expensive.
