I’m not talking about Flynn’s lying to the FBI as “perjury.” His perjury exposure was when he stood up in court at his plea hearing and his first sentencing hearing and told the judge to his face that he (Flynn) was guilty as charged.

And that might matter if his defense team hadn’t been caught working for the corrupt and unfounded prosecution.

The legal system is broken. The law schools are over run with leftists. The mantra in the some of the law schools is they are schools of law not of justice. With exceptions of course.

The country is gradually having the common law statutes America inherited from England replaced by the european “uniform xxxx laws”intricate laws, complicated and devoid of the ability to use”epikea”, the spirit of mercy hand in hand with justice we also inherited with the common law.

Article III states that these judges “hold their office during good behavior,” which means they have a lifetime appointment, except under very limited circumstances. Article III judges can be removed from office only through impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by the Senate. Article III judgeships are created by legislation enacted by Congress. Track authorized judgeships from 1789 to present.

Not that Congress under Dem control would Impeach.

Judge Gleeson, without all the facts wrote an editorial against Mike Flynn, proving that he is prejudiced in this case. He has no right taking part in it and there’s no position for him to take. Emmett Sullivan is a fool.

I don’t know about you, but I pay close attention to some people who post here who clearly have a legal background. I’ve learned to give very little weight to the comments from people who don’t know how the law works, and I give a lot of credence to people who have a clear understanding of the legal hole Flynn dug for himself when he signed a guilty plea and then attempted to withdraw it ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER.

You stated in open court that you killed Brad Pitt, that's perjury.

That's free speech to me.

Even more interesting in Sineneng-Smith is that Ginsburg further cites her previous opinion in Greenlaw:

The Nation’s adversarial adjudication system follows the principle of party presentation. Greenlaw v. United States, 554 U. S. 237, 243. “In both civil and criminal cases, . . . we rely on the parties to frame the issues for decision and assign to courts the role of neutral arbiter of matters the parties present.

...“[o]ur adversary system is designed around the premise that the parties know what is best for them, and are responsible for advancing the facts and arguments entitling them to relief.” (Scalia, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment). As cogently explained:

[Courts] do not, or should not, sally forth each day looking for wrongs to right. We wait for cases to come to us, and when they do we normally decide only questions presented by the parties.Counsel almost always know a great deal more about their cases than we do, and this must be particularly true of counsel for the United States, the richest, most powerful, and best represented litigant to appear before us.

And Ginsburg continues in Greenlaw: This Court has recognized that “the Executive Branch has exclusive authority and absolute discretion to decide whether to prosecute a case.” United States v. Nixon, 418 U. S. 683, 693 (1974)

Sorry -- the single "charge" of lying to the FBI.

Here's Flynn's problem in a nutshell (from his plea agreement) ...

Note the item I highlighted.

DEFENDANT'S ACCEPTANCE

The preceding statement is a summary, made for the purpose of providing the Court with a factual basis for my guilty plea to the charge against me. It does not include all of the facts known to me regarding this offense. I make this statement knowingly and voluntarily and because I am, in fact, guilty of the crime charged. No threats have been made to me nor am I under the influence of anything that could impede my ability to understand this Statement of the Offense fully.

I have read every word of this Statement of the Offense, or have had it read to me. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, after consulting with my attorneys, I agree and stipulate to this Statement of the Offense, and declare under penalty of perjury that it is true and correct.

The document is dated 11/30/17. There's a signature underneath all this ... from a guy named Michael Flynn.

He signed this document UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY.

Please see Post #233. Flynn stated unequivocally that NO THREATS WERE MADE.

So if you’re under threat to say you’re not under threat?

While you have simultaneously been denied access to piles of exculpatory evidence?

With unbelievable misdeeds by the prosecution?

When you take a plea, you MUST answer certain questions certain way for the plea to be accepted. YES, you HAVE to say you are doing this in your own free will (paraphrasing), etc. And YES, MANY people say this, knowing if they don’t, then they will get WORSE treatment.

I know this for a FACT. This is REAL LIFE. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. You take the less of two evils.
