Judge is a political hack, trying desperately to jail Flynn.

Looking at pushing perjury charges based upon his pleading guilty is way out of line.

FLYNN WAS UNDER DURESS, THEREFORE, HIS PLEA WAS NOT FREELY GIVEN, IT WAS COERCED BY THREATENING HIS SON.

I am so angry over this. Yet again, dem politicos don’t just want to beat you at the ballot box, they want to destroy you.

Yep, defendants should be able to change their plea based on procedural issues, what’s going on here seems insane

As I recall, the government offered him a plea deal: plead guilty and we won't pursue jail time. Then after he pleaded guilty they said 'sike! we are pursuing jail time! Hah hah hah, got ya!'. He moved to have his guilty plea withdrawn.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But it's disingenuous to convict someone of purjury for following through on a plea deal in the first place (people plead guilty to things they didn't do all...the ... time to avoid big sentences, that's standard procedure for federal charges) but to convict him for withdrawing it after the government tricked him into making it is just wrong. Period.
