"more serious - and provable - charge of being an unregistered foreign agent for Turkey - was hung over his head."

clearly so, but this judge familiar with the scum prosecutors (but, sadly not the facts of this case) was ready to dismiss, imho.

Then Mueller would option--or not--to go for the foreign agent charge, which Flynn couldn't afford to defend. Since judge Sullivan slandered from the bench with his ignorance of the timing of Flynn's foreign agent service and the resulting bogus accusation, Flynn could win a dismissal. Such infractions usually get a do-over and maybe a fine.

Sad to say, but it's a G-damn department of injustice.

He is being blackmailed financially by the US Government.

I’m no longer proud of my nation.

If you’re right, no one would be more aware of that than Flynn...so why didn’t he take the out the judge repeatedly offered? None of us knows the whole story.

Last sentence of the opinion:

I do not believe Mr. Flynn lied to the FBI. I think he lied when he made his deal with Mr. Mueller, and his confession was a false one. The president can provide clarity by releasing all relevant documents.

Yes, Mr. President, please RELEASE ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS.

Why is Flynn not fighting against the Mueller coup?

Why wouldn’t Flynn use a public defender for free?

Why is Flynn being a pussy when Manafort isnt?

The judge should have put Flynn in jail until he explains just why he wants to plead guilty. Imo, this has to be some sort of fraud upon the court for political reasons.

Flynn is between a rock and a hard place. He pled as he did because the more serious - and provable - chanrge of being an unregistered foreign agent for Turkey - was hung over his head (along with prosecution of his son in connection to the same).

if this is true, I mean,   WTF?

what is an agent of ergodan and the turkeys doing in President Trump's inner circle? ergodan and the turkeys are about as bad as you can get, short of isis, iran and hezzbullsh!t.

Yet nothing happens when Senator Feinstein employed a Chinese spy for 20 years when she was Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

“Probably half of America could be prosecuted in this manner.”

I’d say more like 100% if they’re really after you. If they can’t find anything they’ll fabricate it.

Any Cliff Notes for those of us not behind the pay wall?

It really does sound like Sullivan was trying to help Flynn, even with the "treason" nonsense. He doesn't want Flynn to take the easy way out with a phony guilty plea.

However, what helps Flynn prove his innocence might not help Flynn's son or Flynn's bank account.
