Yes, but he will have been screwed by believing FOX news. Anyone who is acting based upon what they see on FOX news is putting their life and liberty at stake.

Do any of these assholes know what the phrase “Rule of Law” means? Seems not. I’m sure Flynn will walk in the end but very few people will be fooled by it.

Lawyers here may be able to clarify: Would Flynn’s son be open to prosecution by another AG and justice dept, say next year? It certainly sounds like they had evidence.

Every single one knows he’s NOT above the law, but thanks to Barr and the Vichy GOP, they KNOW they can away with it. And for the most part, they’ve succeeded.

Yes. To the extent that Flynn did not cooperate, and sought to undermine his plea, he has voided the agreement by non-cooperation. Absent something really unusual, the plea will say that the benifits to Flynn (which include non-prosecution of his son) go away if he does not cooperate.
I believe the statute of limitations is 5 years, so DOJ can being charges against Flynn’s son unless he is pardoned.
And I might add, DOJ could challenge Flynn’s pardon. They would argue that Trump did it for corrupt reasons and as part of a conspiracy to get him not to cooperate with Mueller.

Funny, I was watching the movie, Molly’s Game, the other day.
During her guilty plea, Molly Bloom was asked something like 80 questions to ascertain that she was of sound mind, that she fully understood the charges, and that she really, really, really, meant to enter a plea of guilty.
My question is: where’s the transcript for Flynn’s appearance when he pled guilty. How many times was he asked if he really, really meant it, that he understood the charges, and that he really, really meant it (both times!). Let’s see it, TPM!

Would depend upon the wording of the original deal with Mueller. And its quite (highly?) possible that no such agreement was ever put into writing.
My own personal opinion is the deal he did strike with Mueller was a crap deal anyway. His “cooperation” was meaningless, if it ever existed. He pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI on multiple issues, which can carry a 5 year penalty per incident, and working as an unregistered foreign agent for Turkey, which also carries a 5 year sentence and up to a $10,000 fine (similar fines can also be levied for lying to the FBI). So he was looking at 10 years + an additional 5 for each separate incident of lying.
Instead, he got no fines, and a 0-6 month recommended sentence. For providing nothing of use to the Mueller investigation, and then he voluntarily rejected his own guilty plea and started this mess.
So yeah, I think a new AG would have quite a bit of latitude to prosecute Flynn and his son, and throw the freaking book at them both. Bury this asshole and his spawn so deep into jail they we have trouble finding their rotting corpses in 100 years.

Dude. You confessed. You can’t draw yourself up to your full height afterward and proclaim your aggrieved innocence just because Trump and Barr want to get you off. It’s not persuasive. It’s just ridiculous.
