The DOJ has just produced even more documents to Flynn's lawyers.
"The enclosed documents were obtained and analyzed by USA EDMO in March, April and May 2020"
"Additional documents may be forthcoming"
Well Van Grack reviewed it. So what?
It’s all going to swept under the rug anyway.
Gallows . ..I would appreciate gallows.
Even if the judge determines there is overwhelming or at least credible evidence that the defendant was coerced into the plea?
And with the additional knowledge that both the FBI and his own defense team held exculpatory information from the defendant... and the court despite orders to produce such?
Only indictments and trials will get the corrupt media to respond to the outrages. Until then, they are just right-wingers screaming at the sky.
Right.
It’s very difficult for a judge to annul a guilty plea. If I were Sullivan I’d be thinking, “Why should I do DOJ’s dirty work for them? They made this mess, let them clean it up”.
If a jury finds a defendant guilty based on evidence that is found to be false, can that finding be overturned?
If it can, why couldn’t Flynn’s plea be vacated, or whatever the right term is?
Agree!
A real judge would be crucifying the prosecution for defying his orders to produce all potentially exculpatory evidence to Flynn. This judge will say he’s disappointed but the case can go forward. It’s what he does.
The FBI had the transcript of his call with Kislyak. They knew he was lying.
Their impression from the interview was he didn't show the typical physical signs of deceit, not that he didn't lie.
Flynn is going to have one heck of a malpractice suit against his former attorneys, obama hacks that they were.
The information is not being released to the Senate because it resides with the grand jury that Durham is running. I do believe there are many sleepless nights for these perpetrators. Everything is coming to a head. Enjoy the show.

we got some more texts and e-mails today that fill in the gaps in the JAN time frame
Yes, because as part of the plea allocution (when the judge asks the defendant about the plea), the defendant generally says that the plea is made knowingly and voluntarily and not coerced. That’s why they usually find waiver.
Generally, no. As part of the plea, the defendant tells the court that the plea is voluntary and entered because the defendant is, in fact guilty.
As a general rule, a defendant who voluntarily and intelligently enters an unconditional guilty plea waives all defects in the proceeding, including constitutional defects that occurred before entry of the plea. See State v. Reynolds, 298 N.C. 380, 395 (1979).
While it might be argued that Flynn’s plea was not voluntary or intelligent because of the evidence withheld, the burden is very heavy, since that is not what he said when entering the plea. (Assuming the judge followed proper procedure when taking the plea.)
