I don’t know what pressure they put on Flynn to make him plead guilty, but he should have never done so. The deep-state destroyed his life and bankrupted him regardless.
It reminds of reading about Stalin’s purges or China’s cultural revolution. If they are going to kill you, they are going to kill you. The apparatchiks want a guilty plea to cover their own asses, and make their work in the rigged system seem legitimate.
It’s entirely possible, when Judge Sullivan gets through with this case, that some government lawyers will wish they had taken up a different profession.Flynn is bankrupt now - but what will happen if he’s exonerated and there is a GoFundMe response to this farrago???
They were going to go after his son for FARA violations related to Turkey unless he took the plea. It was a flimsy case. The judge in the case threw out the conviction of the Flynn associate because the jury didn't understand what was going on. The case was pretty flimsy, but the kid could have incurred big time legal bills defending himself...
