  • OT RFTHP? How can a plea be perjury.

    No cite.

    Maybe I'm listening to sources that are spinning the latest in the Flynn saga, but it seems that the judge has said that Flynn's plea was perjury.

    How can a plea be perjury? If it can be, then wouldn't it be reasonable for defendants to refuse to plea on A5 grounds? And if that's the case, then how could cases move forward? Could judges still enter pleas for defendants that refuse to plea?

    Reneging on the plea done under oath, could be perjury.

    This guy certainly views things that way. Although I think this guy has TDS.

    "Proceedings on Flynn's effort to undo his guilty plea were underway when Attorney General William Barr opted to abandon the prosecution, citing documents he said were newly unearthed and showed improper motivations for the FBI's initial interview with Flynn rCo a contention vehemently rejected by the former officials involved in the decision."
    I wonder what Jack would do if he wanted to drop charges against a defendant and the judge did something like what Sullivan did. The closest I can remember to this is a judge imposing a much harsher sentence after a plea deal.
