Well, technically, a false confession *is* lying to the court.
Ghoulish, draconian, catch-22 are only a few words describing Flynn's situation.
I think the whole federal practice of scaring people into confessing to a lesser crime, to avoid the bigger whammy, needs to be reworked.
As do perjury traps and other underhanded tactics.
Such as politically driven destruction of a person before a fair trial.
People quickly lose trust in unethical authorities.

The best defense in a criminal case like this is to make it clear that you have nothing to lose. Any prosecutor with an IQ over 40 would stay the hell away from a defendant like that:

The most discouraging thing is how there are too many deep state traitors littered throughout every part of our gov’t , including this corrupt judge.
