Yes Sullivan might have some discretion here, but the way he's going about it is absurd. The whole thing about a perjury charge for a false guilty plea smacks of coercion in an effort to stop Flynn from asserting his innocence. That would stop any defendant in the future from trying to change a plea, which is an allowed request. Bringing in third parties, in effect to prosecute. And the third party is obviously a surrogate for the judge's own angry feelings. Sullivan should have simply ruled. He can call the parties in, yell at them and make his decisions. He's obviously angry and acting way out of the judicial 📦.

I agree -- Sullivan is being ridiculous. The "but he admitted he was a liar" argument, which the left is citing repeatedly for proof that Flynn was truly guilty, ignores the element of coercion. A coerced guilty plea is something the left has readily discounted when you have someone falsely convicted of other crimes to which they pled guilty. They don't claim "perjury" or " but "he admitted it" in those cases, so why isn't it valid in Flynn's?

Never mind -- I already know the answer.
