The first question is “Are they going to charge his kid over FARA now?”

His motion will likely be denied. He, like many Defendants in this country, was strong-armed into pleading guilty by threats from our mafia-like "justice" system.

Is the denial of that motion appealable?

The FBI agents that interviewed him w/o telling him he was being interviewed and told him he didn't need a lawyer, said he didn't lie.

This madness needs to end.

Don't think this is how this will play out. He is claiming that the government breached their end of the plea bargain. Which I assume means they agreed to recommend as light a sentence as possible in exchange for his guilty plea. Well, he gave them the guilty plea and they crawfished on the deal and changed their recommendation from no jail time to 6 months. They acted in bad faith.

He should be allowed to withdraw his plea.

I don't trust this judge. At all. He has issued some strange rulings and in reality the whole thing probably should have been thrown out.

Weak basis for withdrawal in federal court, where prosecutors recommendations are non binding on the court.

The government can recommend 0 days or a million years; its entirely up to the judge.

ETA: Haven’t read the motion, but if the government agreed to recommend reductions for acceptance of responsibility or minor role and reneged, that’s different.

Does this mean Flynn can now call witnesses? Strzok, Page, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper?

We'll probably hear about some convenient charges being lobbed at his son in a few days. Permanent government are corrupt and petty.

I saw elsewhere that the judge has already ruled on these motions and denied them? WTF.

Since “they” is the DOJ run by Trump and Barr why hasn’t this nonsense been put to bed and done with. Anyone intellectually honest knows it’s a witch hunt.

Why not charge all of the Democratic filth like the Podestas and others and ruin their lives and financially destroy their world?

This is what I don't get. I mean I can see Trump staying out of it but why doesn't Barr shut this shite down?
