Yet, the record shows it was coerced. It was the subject of a side agreement, which is prohibited. At minimum, his former attorneys committed a fraud upon the court, as did Mueller's prosecutor...who also certified to the Court there were no side agreements...IE, if Flynn pled guilty, his son wouldn't be pursued. The original trial judge was removed, provably because of bias.
This 'guilty plea' is going nowhere; just a question of how high it goes before it's stomped out. Because of his indifference to these facts, Sullivan is displaying incompetence or bias. Which do you think it is?
We will see where this goes. I hope dismissal. Flynn charged. Flynn pleads guilty under oath freely and voluntarily. Flynn seeks to withdraw a plea claiming mislead by former counsel and bad faith by gov. Judge orders all parties including former counsel to file explanations before revoking the guilty plea. Gov responds not with an admission of wrong doing but merely stating essentially, “we are not interested in pursuing the case anymore.” To me it seems the court is saying, has there been a fraud on the court, by whom and how? In the meantime, the court has Flynn in a bind. Does he also have the Gov in a bind? the former attys? Fraud on the court is extremely dangerous. Remember, the Gov hasn’t admitted doing anything wrong. Now the story is that they re-evaluated the case.
