Here's Flynn's problem in a nutshell (from his plea agreement) ...
Note the item I highlighted.
DEFENDANT'S ACCEPTANCE
The preceding statement is a summary, made for the purpose of providing the Court with a factual basis for my guilty plea to the charge against me. It does not include all of the facts known to me regarding this offense. I make this statement knowingly and voluntarily and because I am, in fact, guilty of the crime charged. No threats have been made to me nor am I under the influence of anything that could impede my ability to understand this Statement of the Offense fully.
I have read every word of this Statement of the Offense, or have had it read to me. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, after consulting with my attorneys, I agree and stipulate to this Statement of the Offense, and declare under penalty of perjury that it is true and correct.
The document is dated 11/30/17. There's a signature underneath all this ... from a guy named Michael Flynn.
He signed this document UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY.
Amazing at how upset you are over that. To everyone else the question is why aren't the prosecutors being charges with all sorts of crimes committed when Flynn didn't commit any crimes to begin with. Didn't your side lie to the court, too?
The “crime charged” for which he pled guilty was never a “crime”. Hence his guilty plea is void.
He pled guilty to lying to the FBI. Under the circumstances as we now know them, I.e., that there was no legitimate predicate for the interview, then the charged crime was never a legitimate crime.
It was the FBI that committed the crime.
Flynn has been totally exonerated. Whatever the judge does at this point will be void. He cannot bring in a third party to prosecute what the Justice Department has determined cannot be prosecuted.
...with underlying misconduct by his counsel.
