Did Flynn Withdraw His Guilty PLea To Delay Sentencing Yet Again?

[Me.]

Does there have to be a trial now?

1. Don't assume he will be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea. Usually judges deny such stunts.

2. No. Here's my take

3. Judge has to decide whether or not to allow Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea and go to trial

Judge is quite likely to not let him withdraw guilty plea and go to trial if he believes Flynn has no good faith reason for withdrawing plea and is just trying to delay his sentencing

4. If he loses a trial...

He'll get a lot more than 6 months

6. With Barr in the drivers seat

there won't be a trial.

5. On one hand I would like the Judge to let him out of the agreement

So that way, far more serious charges could be brought and Lock Him Up for a real long time.

7. One of

the only things that would be positive about allowing him to withdraw his plea is that it would expose that piece of crap son of his to prosecution. Justice had agreed to not go after his son in exchange for the father's guilty plea and cooperation. Barr of course would be a wild card in all of this but that smarmy prick of a son was involved in this up to his eyeballs and continued to shoot his mouth off even after the old man took the plea.

8. Great point. Though Barr may what they're counting on alright.
