A federal judge late Wednesday suggested he may pursue contempt charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn for perjuring himself by abandoning an earlier guilty plea to a charge of lying to the FBI.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan also tapped a retired federal judge to argue against the Justice Departments motion to drop the charges against Flynn.

Judge Gleeson will argue whether the court should issue an Order to show Cause why Mr. Flynn should not be held in criminal contempt for perjury.

Duress does negate a contract and your example is silly.
The Blackrobe seditionist is a King among Kings,
in that he can deem parties of a case whom neither want.
BOTH Parties want the case removed,
but King Sullivan, enemy of the American People,
want people Soros appointed to rule,
and this, King Sullivan, is in violation of
United States v. Sineneng-Smith which in a 9-0 decision
said that King Sullivan is KNOWINGLY wrongful.
But the King is above the Law in his own
corrupt mind, and knowns Gen. Flynn was wronged,
and probably knows where witness were murdered
and helped, and now .... needs to be impeached.
So, is the left now adopting the position that confessions made under duress and plea deals that are made in order to get cooperation cannot ever be challenged? I’m surprised they would go down that road.
Trump is too busy and will do nothing.
*****************************************
You know your anti-Trump snark gets tiresome. You do comprehend, however dimly, that Trump is the executive branch and this activity is happening in the Judicial branch?
There may be time to act... that time is not now!
So the judge has also taken on the role of prosecutor.
O.K., Mitch, start getting the judicial impeachment and removal gears oiled up.
Hangin judge.
Has this ever happened before in a federal case?
Reagan started this shit show appointment
This judge needs to be shamed off the bench. He is a disgrace looking to find way to avoid dismissing the case. Where is his veracity in pursuing the deceit and fraud of the prosecutors?
He’ll do what ever his Dem Brothers tell him to do
How is the defendant who pleads guilty to a manslaughter charge in order to avoid a murder charge NOT under duress?
Looks like he was appointed by Clinton, Reagan and H.W.
What kind of Bizarro world do we live in?
Used to be a good judge.
Doesn’t care anymore. Trump won’t advance him, and Dems won’t either because of his age.
He’ll challenge “impeachment”, and do these nonsense rulings. Safely.
I’m beyond words.
This guy has a vendetta against Flynn. He’s been disrepected don’t you know.
“...And all the while, Hillary denied having classified info in her emails. Deleted the emails. Bleach bit the hard drive. Destroyed devices that may have had emails....And then the offending emails are FOUND on Anthony Weiners computer...and...nothing.....”
Well, that’s different. One must understand that the PIAPS is one of the Toons, it’s a female with a “D” after its name and has a very special pact with Satan.
Flynn has none of that going for him....so, it’s different.
The “judge” likely got a call from oDongo and is being forced to do this. Who knows what they have on him. These are murdering, evil, demonic people that capable of doing anything.
A ridiculous analogy
So long as the appeal is after the election what does the judge care? By the looks of him he’s old enough that consequences don’t matter.
Does it mean anything when you swear under oath, twice, that you're guilty?
