      Not stupid, just desperate to protect his son from retaliatory prosecution. It's worth repeating: this is not speculation or guesswork. We know it happened.

        For one thing being forced to tell the truth by such leverage is not illegal, for another, that's an accusation for which I've yet to see any evidence of.

          Flynn may have told the truth, that is pled guilty, in order to protect his son, that doesn't mean that the FBI forced hin to. Besides, what was he protecting his son from?

              What crime was he protecting his son from being investigated for, Bill.

              • Do you think Banana Republic status will be made official by SCOTUS? The conservatives on the court seem to be keen on the idea. The recipe is an untouchable POTUS and a compliant AG. Trump might be the very last POTUS to be impeached.

                      You should send a resume and writing sample to the Babylon Bee. You're a natural at political satire.

                        I find it sad that there are so many of you easily conned so called Americans out there. What was the crime Flynn was protecting his son from, Bill. Do you even know? And btw, when are you guys going to show the evidence of the FBI threatening Flynn with prosecuting his son, and in what sense it is illegal if they did?

                          Never said it was illegally Jimmy. It just drives a train sized hole right through your argument. If someone told me, “Plead guilty or else we’ll take it out on your kid” you can bet what my answer will be. General Flynn was thinking as a father, not as someone protecting his innocence.

                            And now he reversed himself (and caused extra headaches for the FBI on top). So he's no longer interested in protecting his son?

                            • In a nakedly political miscarriage of justice, Judge Sullivan is delaying a final ruling and requests that outside groups file what are know as "amicus" or "friend of the court" briefs which he will apparently use to help guide his decision.

                              Judge Sullivan even cited famously political Judge Amy Berman Jackson, a subtle hat/tip to President Obama’s recent May 8th instructions. Sullivan’s order can put to rest any contemplation of him holding corrupt prosecutor Brandon Van Grack to account; and only further delays removing the sword of damocles from atop Lt. General Michael Flynn.

                              The transparent purpose of allowing public comment, specifically from the Lawfare resistance group, is to undermine the DOJ and further create a political narrative around AG Bill Barr. However, on the positive side this might stir Barr to release even more damaging information to counter the political efforts of Judge Sullivan. Quite remarkable.

                              All of you claiming that we're living in a "banana republic" may be on to something.
