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

quote:

---

that if the court intends to question the defendant under oath, on the record, and in the presence of counsel about the offense to which he/she has pleaded, that his/her answers may later be used against him/her in a prosecution for perjury or false statement.

So let me get this straight, a provision in place to hold a defendant accountable for lying to the court in his defense is being used to attempt a new prosecution of a defendant that the plaintiff admits was prosecuted in bad faith in the first place?
