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.

With the FBIs heal on his throat threatening to go after his son, General Flynn did what any loving father would do, he capitulated to save his family. Thats not perjury Judge puke, thats sacrificing his self for his family and that demonstrates honor as he had done for his 33 years of US Military service. The man is a hero, not a criminal as Judge Sullivan is proving himself to be.
He will be one of the many judges who will be impeached...
There’s a big difference between a stressful circumstance and a prosecutor applying pressure to concede to a lie. Flynn’s defense is very simple. He didn’t have all the relevant facts to make an informed decision when he plead guilty. Partly because the prosecution withheld that information, and partly because his previous representation was not adequately representing him.
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.

And still nothing.
The fix is indeed in.
In criminal cases it is recognized that using threats to prosecute other family members is unacceptable duress.
It is logical to assume that a person knows the truth of his own actions and can rightly assess the risk/benefit in plea bargaining for himself. This is not true if the object of the beneficiary of the plea is a third party.
This is why the original defense lawyers and prosecutors kept the “side deal” off the books and hid it from the judge. This is a violation of the courts rules and procedures and also goes to incompetence and self dealing of the Covington law firm.
I will fly to where you are and take you out to dinner if even one judge is impeached. Where do your expectations come from - from Fantasyland?
This idiot needs removed from the bench immediately.
The only people guilty of perjury and contempt is the Obama administration
Sullivan will bring ridicule and shame upon himself if he tries to force this. Higher courts will surely rebuke and reverse him and his reputation will be forever tarnished. He will forever regret his foolishness.
I can only think somebody has blackmail working against him.
Howard University Law School alum = enough said.
Pleading guilty or innocent is not testimony of any kind. Perjury is a crime of false testimony, doesn’t apply.

Look at how often prosecutors offer plea deals to settle a case. Happens constantly, it is not perjury by the prosecutors either.
Sullivan is not a judge, he is a Democrat activist cloaked in a black robe
[Ego-maniac. Was fooled once by the Justice Department. Doesn’t want to admit to being fooled again—he’s got his confession, case or no case. ]
The POS is setting in place the challenge to Pres Trump:
If you insist on investigation and possible charges against those who tried to complete the Coup against you, we will crucify this man.
Your move, Pres Trump.
The only thing that gets me through this mess:
MY GOD IS STILL ON HIS THRONE AND THIS IS ALL GOING TO END SOME WAY, SOME HOW.
AND MY GOD WILL STILL BE ON HIS THRONE.
Under Judge Gleeson’s definition, every plea deal is perjury on the part of both the prosecution and defendant. It is an indefensible and laughable stretch.
What kind of Bizarro world do we live in?

The kind where both parties swear in a Kenyan/Indoneisan/British subject as President in direct violation of the Constitution.
Then everybody pretends not to notice.
He could charge me as well. I have nothing but contempt for judge Sullivan and his kangaroo court.
There is another case in which the conviction was dismissed because the prosecution failed to disclose evidence in favor of the defendant.

Do it, Judge. You’ll be looking straight at a judicial misconduct charge (if you aren’t already over the Amicus Brief Solicitation Stunt). Only this one might get you removed from the bench.
