re: Judge Sullivan asks judge to look at whether Flynn could be held in criminal contempt

Flynn swore under oath the factual predicate was true when he plead. That’s the complicating factor.

Powell has said it was under duress and with ineffective assistance of counsel and DOJ has now done a 180 and said the prosecution never should have been maintained, but there is a procedural issue in that the Court accepted the plea and now Flynn is subject to the sentencing and jurisdiction of the judge having plead guilty.

I have no idea what Sullivan will end up doing, but this case is a complicated mess that will almost assuredly be ultimately decided by a higher appellate court.
