Sullivan said he was seeking Gleeson's recommendation on whether Flynn should face a criminal contempt charge for perjury because he testified under oath that he was guilty of lying to the FBI but then reversed course and said he had never lied.

He knows so much about the law, why does he need help determining whether someone is in contempt or not? He's unfit for the bench, always has been, always will be.
Indeed it is recognized that a plea bargain is on its face a sort of perjury - an agreement to plead to a lesser crime for reduced sentencing. It's a contract and it's only invalid if induced for force of fraud - both of which apply here.
I certainly hold this judge in contempt.
If he were encouraged or pressured to commit this “crime” by the prosecutor”s, that would clearly be entrapment.
Even suborned, but the judge appears unconcerned that the FBI/ government did the “suborning”.
What a judicial crock of $h!+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So they bullied and threatened a false confession out of him, and now they want to fry him for the false confession they extorted from him. This is mind blowing!
It’s not purjury if your testimony is pressured by the prosecution.
These people need to be put in jail for sedition. All they’re doing is making more mischief now that the walls are closing in.
“Judge” Sullivan should be held in contempt.
"If you don't cop to a lie we will destroy your son!", so he cops to the lie then gets charged with perjury because they knew it was a lie.
Where did this judge get his law degree?
Under what legal theory is a Judge allowed to charge a crime? He may be able to recommend to prosecutors that such a crime was committed but I doubt that the DOJ would act on such a recommendation. I’m just sayin’
Howard University. He then worked for the Neighborhood Legal Services Program.
Flynn was damned if he did, and damned if he didn’t. No win possible. This is a travesty.
May be lamp post time for some Clinton/Obama judges.
My only question:
Let’s say both judges want to have Flynn charged with perjury. Judges cannot file a charge (they can hold someone in contempt) — who would file the charge, and wouldn’t this person be working for the DOJ (hence moot)?
This judge seems really unable to let bad faith whither on the vine and go away? His ego and intellect is now on full display for public judgement.
To be fair, applied as the judge wants, everyone found guilty of a crime they pleaded not guilty to should be also convicted of purgury at sentencing for the first crime charged?
The entire existence of just about every federal agency is consumed by its own corruption. The agencies are no longer doing their charge, but are using every resource at their disposal on wagon circling. We used to have criminals and enemies outside the government, not exclusively by and of the government! Crikey!
He’s unfit for the bench
Remember how many judges Clinton fired all at once,had to rig the system.
Is his purpose to use this as a CYA to avoid his court being subsequently sued by Flynn/Powell?
