Well, well. Mike Flynn Moving To Withdraw Guilty Plea. Here's Why.

That's not how it works you fake ass lawyer, you made the positive claim the burden of proof is on you.

Regardless this actually seldom happens even before a plea has been made let alone after, from former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell:

This development is huge. Prosecutors almost never provide this kind of information to a defendant before he enters a plea — much less after he has done so. This is one of myriad problems in our justice system. As Judge Jed Rakoff wrote several years ago, people who are innocent enter guilty pleas every day. They simply can no longer withstand the unimaginable stress of a criminal investigation. They and their families suffer sheer exhaustion in every form — financial, physical, mental, and emotional. Add in a little prosecutorial duress — like the threat of indicting your son — and, presto, there’s a guilty plea.

Indeed....the left seems to ignore this happenstance when EVERYONE on Hillary's criminal investigation was GRANTED IMMUNITY for something that was not even a crime..........ACCORDING to the self appointed Judge, Jury, and executioner....COMEY. LMAO The double standard from the left is just that.....documented LAUGHS.(: If you want to know THE TRUTH about anything presented by a lefty.....just INVERT the big picture (: The facts demonstrate that it was the DNC/HILLARY that was engaging in COLLUSION with foreign entities in order to manipulate the outcome of a Presidential Election. They are the perfect reverse weather barometer.....they always are engaging in the things they attempt to pin on their opposition.

I find myself wondering if it really is the new normal - if we can make it back from this. One journalist correctly called it the "post-truth era."

It has happened so fast, but there is no doubting it. Many live in that world of "alternative facts" that Conway coined just last year.

the judge has no law standing over them to NOT remind the court of the rules of disclosure


that is what you are claiming for some reason


what makes you believe its illegal for the judge to remind the court?

Flynn waived his right to any further discovery:

"Your client waives the right to any further discovery or disclosures of information not already provided” — in addition to forfeiting many other trial and appellate rights." (See plea agreement, pages 6–7.)

One of Trump's most significant accomplishments is making many believe that networks like CNN are fake news, while at the same time making actual fake news outlets legit.

I don't think that was much of an accomplishment. The rubes were already primed to believe that the Bearded Lady was for real.
It's been true for a long time that you can lead a contard to facts, but you can't make him think.

Yep, I knew you (or someone else) come up with that but they're one of the biggies. In this country we don't really have a news network that's totally objective (and you know that, I hope). But Fox is no less reputable than left leaning NBC or CBS.

The fact that you believe that tells us what is wrong with this country right now. I've watched Fox, after watching NBC, and seen the totally different (and false) spin that they put on news events.

I don't even bother watching any of them anymore. If I want real , objective news I watch MDR, Sat. 1, ZDF, or most any other German station for news. "Just the facts, ma'am."

I prefer to read news rather than watch it. It's easy to cross-check stuff you read while on the computer, to see if the same story is being told the same way by other sources. What is MDR?

I also see the false spin that NBC and CNN put on the news. Fox is clearly the more accurate news source. Plus they have hot women reading the news. A little eye candy never hurt.
 

Flynn’s Guilty Plea in Jeopardy A number of other FBI agents who reviewed the transcript of the interview concluded that Flynn had not lied. The Washington Post published a transcript of the phone call between Flynn and the Russian ambassador. The Washington Post concluded that Flynn had not lied. Well, here’s the update, and it is from the Federalist. It’s written by Margot Cleveland: “How A Michael Flynn Plea Reversal Could Uncover Federal Corruption — On Friday, Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an order in United States v. Flynn that, while widely unnoticed, reveals something fascinating: A motion by Michael Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea based on government misconduct is likely in the works.

For me it's really depressing to have to fact check every bit of info coming out of trump and his WH. If we can't trust him for the small things how can we trust him on the big ones?

It's been a long, stressful year and I have doubts it's going to improve, especially as Mueller continues his investigation.

Same here. It seems like newscasts are boiled down to a few paragraphs while the sites fill out the story with more detail.

Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (Central German Broadcasting, MDR) is the public broadcaster for the federal states of Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. Established in January 1991, its headquarters are in Leipzig, with regional studios in Dresden, Erfurt and Magdeburg.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitteldeutscher_Rundfunk

I think you can trace the beginning of the right wing propaganda age back to the early 90's and the ascendance of Rush Limbaugh on to the national stage.

That's when I recall blatant lying with no consequences from one's conservative fan base became acceptable.
