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.
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.
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’
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.
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!
Is his purpose to use this as a CYA to avoid his court being subsequently sued by Flynn/Powell?
Sullivan has access to a law library or is he too lazy to do the research to make a decision? How did Sullivan come to choose Gleeson, a former federal judge appointed by Clinton to the bench the same year Sullivan was appointed by Clinton, as the private attorney, not for general legal input, but specifically to submit an opposition brief to a criminal defendant’s case before his court? Obviously he had an ex parte conversation about the criminal case before him in encouraging Gleeson to submit an opposition brief to the criminal defendant’s case. Chances are he never told the defense counsel of his ex parte conversation and shopping around for someone to argue against the defense counsel’s client’s interests or the nature of his conversation with an outsider about the case before him. At this point, he is compromised and no longer a neutral arbiter. He should recuse himself, but he will not because he has decided to use kabuki legal theatre for cover to dramatize from the bench the Democrat narrative that Barr is not independent. Unfortunately there is too much unethical politicized trash like this guy sitting on Federal district court benches today.
Keep this in mind next time you’re given a jury summons. The American judicial system is circling the toilet.
Flynn has the goods on the Deep State, which is why Sullivan and the Deep State are trying to silence him and prevent his freedom. I wonder if he will be jailed for a fraudulently-applied perjury charge and Epstein’d before the election? Very sad.
