      Umm he’s already confessed and plead guilty to a crime. This is specifically about “sentencing”

      Unless the judge's orders for any exculpatory evidence end up with the plea being set aside.

      That's a conspiracy theory sown by cynical people who don't understand Sullivan.

      No, that's what he actually did and he wouldn't have ordered that if there weren't some merit to the possibility that the plea was obtained under false pretenses.

      "From that point on, Sullivan started a new practice for every case he handled: He would issue what is called a “standing Brady order,” mandating that prosecutors proactively turn over material favorable to the defense."https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/02/22/no-a-new-court-filing-doesnt-suggest-that-michael-flynn-is-about-to-be-exonerated/?utm_term=.3f3484cecdcc …

      Replying to @runtodaylight @emptywheel and

      Except this is different in that the order was given AFTER plea was made. That's the unusual part in this case. There's no reason to do that after a plea unless reason was discovered for believing plea was obtained under false pretenses.

      Again, poor little chump, this has been explained in language even you can understand. But, again, had Sullivan seen something, you would have heard about it months ago.

      Replying to @emptywheel @runtodaylight and

      Hey troll, I just explained what he likely saw, which you keep ignoring. Whatever his reasons for the order, the evidence points to Flynn being made to plead guilty under false pretenses. Period, end of story. Go ahead with your predictable "conspiracy theories" response.

      MYGOSH THIS CONSPIRACY GETS BIGGER!!! You're arguing 1) Flynn perjured himself in sworn statements before a court. 2) Someone kidnapped Emmett Sullivan (or something??) to prevent him from intervening in nefarious acts to prevent four months of harm.

      Replying to @emptywheel @runtodaylight and

      1) Flynn plead, he did not make an admission. The only people who lied were the FBI, who said he did not lie but withheld that from Mueller. 2) Sullivan was only assigned this case after Contreras was removed. You are full of empty musings. "Conspiracy!"

      LOLOLOLOL. You're playing right winger dressup, right? I mean, no one REALLY is stupid enough that they believe a plea doesn't involve an admission of guilt, right? That's cool. Hysterical prank. I love it.

          You're right, nobody has ever plead guilty to a crime they didn't commit. Never happened, right? Unethical tactics to induce pleas have never been used, right? LOL! Silly right wingers. Copping to false pleas surely leads to perjury charges. Who cares that that's not how it works

          Wait. So you're promising me you're straight up, not just pretending to be dumb as a rock to make fun of right wingers? I can take what you say as honestly believed?

          I believe he copped to a plea to end the charade and draining of his resources. Happens in cases like these all the time. Do you still believe guilty pleas and confessions are the same thing? Simple google search would save you. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2533985 …

          Hi. Let's go back. First you need to promise you're really someone engaging in good faith and not someone pretending to be a RWNJ chump. Yes? No?

          I actually did nothing of the sort. Do you want me to teach you basic English so you understand this? So let me ask you: have you filed a bar complaint against @robkelner?
