McCabe altered Strzok’s form 302 from his Flynn interview, and Mueller knew it..
Mueller got dinged.
Prosecutors love plea bargain deals because they don’t have to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Defendants take them because of the personal, legal and financial expense of a long trial - and if you lose, your punishment is worse than if you took a plea.
Flynn is not looking forward to a long trial unless he is certain he could be acquitted.
Not getting my hopes up
This is the one judge who has the guts to blow this whole thing up. He crushed the government in the Stevens case.
Yep, Flynn will withdraw his guilty plea and it will be the beginning of the end for Mueller.
It’s not already against the law to provide everything?
Prosecutors are supposed to do this anyway. If the judge had to order it done, there’s a serious concern the prosecutor is not proceeding in a proper manner. This bears watching - any more krap and the court could easily throw the case out ( and punish the prosecution).
I wonder if that includes Comey’s sworn testimony that the FBI had found he didn’t lie.
Can you be acquitted after a guilty plea?
Ignorance of the law is no defense unless you are a Federal prosecutor. More corrupt deep state swamp.
Thank you, Judge Sullivan.
Flynn may decide it is not in his interest to contest the plea bargain, particularly if the understanding is that he would receive no prison time, and considering the cost of further legal fees and expenses.
Mueller gets a scalp close to Trump, Flynn protects his son from prosecution, and no jail time.
If Flynn were to manage to void the plea agreement based on new exculpatory evidence, such as doctored FBI 302 forms, he goes back to ground zero with respect to the exposure of his son to prosecutors and is still penniless from his legal bills.
If Flynn wants to fight it, the best move for Flynn may be to sue McCabe, if indeed there is evidence McCabe doctored the relevant 302s, for money damages under the federal constitutional tort of deprivation of rights under color of law. He can’t sue the dirtbag Weissman for using the doctored 302s because of prosecutorial immunity. But he can sue McCabe.
If he can demonstrate the causality between the doctored 302s and the investigation of him by the Special Counsel, perhaps he can recover his legal fees from McCabe. I hear McCabe’s wife was given a lot of money by Team Hillary for her state senate campaign; perhaps there is some of that stash left over to go after.
He could also try a frontal attack on the validity of the Special Counsel appointment. For example, the Special Counsel arguably is a de facto US Attorney, but was never confirmed by the Senate. If successful, this might save his son, unless someone else in the DOJ not in the Special Counsel’s office decided to go after his son for spite.
Every day Mueller proceeds, he further destroys his reputation for history.
He’s another dumb-ass, who ultimately takes a fall for the Clintons. Will these people never learn?
LANGUAGE WARNING - Loads of F-bombs and other cursing.
It's an awesome dissection in spite of the language.
The Mueller Indictments Are A F**king Joke & It's Dangerous [Web Exclusive] (15:09)
The first three minutes is enough but the dissection continues to the end.
After the massive evidence cover up in the Bunkerville-Bundy case in Nevada, one must assume this kind of hiding of exculpatory evidence is SOP for federal prosecutors nowadays.

I hope Sullivan puts a severe beat down on Mueller.
