BREAKING: Judge SULLIVAN has appointed retired judge to argue against the government's motion to dismiss the charge against Flynn.
Guilty pleas are not usually under oath.
Thank you!
A very nice piece of reasoning!
This has been a very interesting thread. Its the kind of posting that originally led me to Free Republic.
THE CASE WAS DROPPED. THERE IS NO CASE, EMMETT!
If he refuses to dismiss, Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell will appeal, and DOJ will refuse to prosecute. Then what?
The case has been dropped, the Judge is exposing General Flynn to double jeopardy. Clearly illegal, (but of course, they don’t care..)
He can die too.
I bet there are a lot of cases out there where someone changed his plea from guilty to not guilty and were charged with perjury, especially after a change of legal teams. All you have to do is find one, just one.
Yesterday.
Flynn Defense Files Motion in Opposition to Amicus Briefs

There is no objection to this motion so this Sullivan fellow will have at most one week to rule on the motion. When he denies the motion, the next day at the latest, Attorney Sydney Powell will file an emergency appeal in the DC Court of Appeals which has had a makeover during the Trump years.
That may be what he’s pushing for but I hope Trump doesn’t take that bait. This needs to be squashed in the court system, imo. Otherwise, we will never hear the end of it. And look at how transparently obvious the skullduggery has become. The more they out themselves, the easier it will be....when the time comes. And it will.
Might have been blackmailed.
If is a member of a fraternity they probably have dirt on him. Frat brothers do all types of illegal activities. Some are involved with under age (14-17 years old) women when pledging.
Others while in high positions have been involved in prostitution parties in hotel suite during fraternity conventions.
He’s psychotic!
What a bizarre turn of events.
That argument would be more compelling if the defendant hadn't pleaded GUILTY.
Preposterous. Elsewhere I proposed that the Babylon Bee should run the following headline. “FBI recommends DOJ prosecutors charge Gen. Flynn with perjury for pleading guilty to crime he didn’t commit.” I never dreamed that such ridiculous satire would be seriously considered by either a Freeper or a federal judge.
And so it is that a group of former Watergate special prosecutors this week resurrected the Ghost of Watergate Past in a last-ditch effort to keep alive the federal court case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
The gang, adopting the sobriquet “Watergate Prosecutors,” asked permission from U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to allow them to intervene in the Flynn case so they can – to put it bluntly – tell his honor how to think and what to do.
The judge issued an order Tuesday indicating he will soon accept “amicus curiae” (“friend of the court”) submissions in the case.
But in trial court proceedings involving crimes, only prosecutors and defense attorneys are permitted to be heard. Judges are supposed to render decisions based on evidence and arguments presented by the parties involved, not outside interests.
The SCOTUS unanimously overturned a 9th circuit decision BECAUSE OF THIS VERY THING,
The Ninth Circuit didn’t just buy this when they heard her appeal, they actively sought out three amici — “friends of the court” outside parties, usually experts, who give opinions on the matter at hand — to address questions regarding the overbreadth doctrine, which holds that there can be no law which allows for an overbroad restriction on free speech.
Keep in mind, this wasn’t Sineneng-Smith’s side requesting this. This was all the Ninth Circuit.
They struck down her conviction, finding — and you’ll never believe this — that the law violated the overbreadth doctrine.
Thursday’s 9-0 ruling reversed that decision because the Ninth Circuit invited opinions that weren’t included in the original arguments by the parties in the case.
Instead, the Supreme Court’s ruling stated that “the appeals panel departed so drastically from the principle of party presentation as to constitute an abuse of discretion

He had to formally attest that he was guilty of the charges.
I wish him well, but he really has a tough road ahead of him.
I think she would actually file for mandamus on the grounds that under last weeks Supreme 9-0 supreme court ruling, opinion by AJ Ginsburg, Sullivan has grossly and flagrantly exceeded the discretion of his office.
If he refuses to dismiss, Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell will appeal,
who will be the opposing party in Court? LOL
Micheal Flynn and the USA DOJ vs ?????
The left can’t a;;ow the charges to be dropped. Thus the ??’s about a potential perjury charge. Must have a pound of flesh otherwise PDJT wins and has strong talking points.
What charges?
