We were a few posters who interpreted it to mean that Judge Sullivan wanted Flynn to retract his guilty plea, which would have left the judge free to attack the prosecution. A lot of what was going on was the judge making clear to Flynn that his plea deal was not certain to clear him from a harsh sentence.
In the end the prosecutor joined the “defence” to defend Flynn from the judge.
Flynn is certainly caught between a rock and a hard place.
He is such a fraud.
