    The judge is required to ask several questions before accepting a plea agreement to make sure the defendant understands the full ramifications and make sure they are doing this willingly.

      But wouldn't even a person under duress give every appearance of willingness?

        Again, again, and again, if Flynn was under duress because of his sons possibly criminal liability, that is the fault of the son, not the FBI. For one thing, there is no evidence that the FBI threatened Flynn with charging his son. The truth is that FBI took pains to not promise Flynn anything concerning his son. Besides that, using his son as leverage, had they chosen to do so, would not be illegal anyway. And besides that, why on earth should protecting another criminal, son or not, be grounds for changing ones plea?

                    • Here's the unredacted memo Rice filed re: Flynn.

                      I challenge *anyone* on this board to use their own brain (i.e. not copy / pasting from RWNJ "news") and report what they find wrong or improper in this memo.

                        For one thing, both Obama and Rice lied when they said that neither of them were aware that General Flynn was the subject of an investigation, and that Obama was not directing the action against him.

                          1) Can you point to where Obama made that claim? Not even sure what's wrong with denying such knowledge is a problem but I'll be happy to look.
                          2) The memo is pretty explicit that Obama wasn't directing an investigation.

                            When did they both say this, and what was the context of the claim?

                            Lying is generally not against the law.

                            • Susan Rice has asked Trump to declassify the intercepted phone calls between Flynn and Kislyak. Given that the story from the right is that these calls were totally above board one wonders why Trump might not follow through on that, especially when it would surely help demonstrate the need to reverse Flynn's plea. If the call really is totally innocent why might Trump not take her up on that?
