Smart Move – Flynn Lawyer Tells Judge Motive Behind Why Flynn Took Guilty Plea…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 10/1/19

Posted on 10/01/2019 6:34:03 AM PDT by outpostinmass2

Many people have wondered why Lt. Gen Michael Flynn took the guilty plea; indeed, even his trial judge, Emmet Sullivan, posed curious questions about the agreement. Yesterday, in a very smart move on behalf of her client, defense Attorney Sidney Powell informed the court why Mike Flynn took the guilty plea on November 30th, 2017.

Background – As part of ongoing proceedings and consideration Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan had requested a status update about the ongoing cooperation of Michael Flynn in the trial of his former business partner Bijan Rafiekian. On September 24th Federal Judge Anthony J Trenga nullified the jury verdict against Rafiekian and tossed the case.

Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, now files a motion to update trial judge Emmet Sullivan. However, in a smart legal move, and using the jury nullification within the status report, Powell also outlined the reason why her client took a guilty plea.

As highlighted, Michael Flynn -under pressure from Mueller’s prosecutors- signed a plea to avoid his son, Mike Flynn Jr., being indicted/accused. As we suspected General Flynn signed a plea deal to avoid seeing his son charged with a fabricated FARA violation.

It is a smart strategy for Flynn’s defense to inform Judge Sullivan -now- of the undue pressure and threat from Mueller’s assigned prosecutor Brandon Van Grack.

First, this information will help Judge Sullivan reconcile many of the troubling aspects behind the Flynn plea. Against ongoing defense and prosecution arguments about Brady evidence, the highlight in this short status update will not be missed; it will reconcile to the court why Flynn’s defense attorney is seeking supplemental information.

IMO and I may be wrong, when is all said and done, no one will be wearing an orange jump suit and frog marched to a Fed prison.

I had hopes; but, no more. I think I am beginning to agree with your assessment. No one is going to be punished; which means this will happen again to another POTUS, if another Republican is ever allowed to be elected POTUS again.

Either way, it’s a symbiotic relationship.

Symbiosis is a funny thing. It's why sterile female bees play with plants' sex organs...
