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.
Flynn may have believed he lied to the FBI and that it was a crime. The DOJ is saying that it wasn’t a crime. Flynn had no way of knowing that at the time he made the guilty plea. So he didn’t knowingly or willfully lie to the court.
#222 The facts at the time as presented by the Prosecutors were fraudulent. His counsel had a conflict and did not inform him of information they had (agents said he didn’t appear to lie or show signs of dishonesty)
The Prosecution had also violated his very own Brady rules. Hiding exculpatory evidence.
The Judge also had a duty/obligation to know ALL the facts in the case. HE didn’t. He wasn’t in possession or was presented with all the material the DOJ Prosecutor(s) have since brought forth. He still has not been presented with the original 302. The judge said himself “things get lost”. Uh no, the Prosecution has a responsibility to retain and protect ALL evidence in a case. Not just the stuff they want to turn over. Then there was the verbal agreement between Van Greck and His original Lawyers that if he plead guilty they wouldn’t go after his son. The court didn’t know that until 2 weeks ago.
This judge created this shit show.
