I think thats pretty well set forth in his lawyers various motions. They are available on line. 

 

But hey, its OK, its Trump, by all means fair and foul, right?

 

We'll ya'll who have no concern, keep in mind, that there but for the grace of god go any of us who irritate .gov. Fundamental fairness in criminal proceedings is the backbone of our nation, no matter whos ox is being gored. If you read the motions, you should be concerned, no matter what your politics.

 

So I reckon that now Ill get the usual smilies, or arguing responses from folks who I ignore always, but thats OK. I am a lot of things, but I strive every day not to be a hypocrite in criminal matters. Unfairness is unfairness no matter who is being mistreated. Remember, no one is above the law.

 

 

 

What makes comments like this ridiculous is that Emmet Sullivan, the judge in this case, is known for being particularly hard on prosecutorial overreach.

Judge in Flynn Case Has Frequently Faulted the Government

His wariness of government lawyers was reflected in an op-ed he wrote in The Wall Street Journal last year, commending New York state courts for requiring that trial judges issue orders in criminal proceedings notifying prosecutors of their obligations to turn over favorable evidence to the defense, known as a Brady order.

Judge Sullivan now issues such orders in all of his cases, as he did when he was assigned the Flynn matter.

“My wake-up call to the importance of Brady orders came when I presided over the deeply flawed trial of Ted Stevens,” Judge Sullivan wrote in the opinion piece, adding that “judges have a responsibility to take action against unethical prosecutors.”

It was a setup to begin with. 

Either plead guilty or we're coming for your family. 

The FBI and Justice Department Obama holdovers are massively corrupt. 

Of course Trump and his minions are cleaner than fresh snow. :clap2: ???? ????

I am assuming you have a little more evidence in order to be accusing the President of being corrupt? Bankruptcy is perfectly legal and a common business practice, you are 100% incorrect in your statement he is the only US President to not show his income tax returns, and he is not legally required to do so. You say he cheats at golf? Well hell why not call Adam or Nancy, that might be a stronger case for impeachment then the one they are about to have laughed out of the Senate. 

You tossed out the term corruption and have not produced any proof, typical leftist BS!

Your opinion is noted, as is your political sentiment. Next time I flush my toilet, they'll be there.

Well it would need to go to the Court of Appeals first, and yes, Im sure he waived his appeal rights at the allocution absent excessive sentencing, but if he alleges a constitutional violation, which he has or will, he can skirt that. I think the Court had a variation of that question in the recent case of Class v. United States. 

A lot of ifs, buts and maybes. So he or his lawyer might be saying if the exculpatory evidence had been presented beforehand, he would take the Fifth? Or plead not guilty? Fruit of the poisonous tree?

A bit off topic, I once did an environmental audit of a steel plant in California. We Aussies have the state EPA, that's it. This facility sent the two of us dizzy - Chino Basin Water Authority, South Coast Air Quality Management District, Federal EPA, Sacramento something and another one I can't remember.

Have you guys ever thought you have too many lawyers?

Help me out here, I'm an alien from another planet.

Once again, you edited my post down to one line you thought you had an answer to, then did a bad job of replying.

 

You think the crime Flynn committed is immaterial.  No further comment needed.
