the judge is giving Gen Flynn a chance to withdraw his guilty plea before he passes sentence

So the judge would just skip the trial?

No, if Flynn withdraws his plea the judge may toss the case out.

I explained this in my original comment btw, are you a slow reader?

There is no trial if you plead guilty. There is only a sentencing upon a plea or verdict of guilty.
