    It is an admission of guilt, which is an equivalent of a guilty verdict. There will be no need for a verdict, because nothing is in dispute.

    In extremely rare circumstances, the judge can reject a guilty plea. The judge has to come up with a strong case that you are not competent to enter a guilty plea. The judge does not have cart blanch to reject guilty pleas.

    Here is where you are going off the rails. The judge is actually ruling on neither the case, nor the plea. The judge is ruling on your competency. If you are crazy, you cannot enter a guilty plea.

    Is Flynn crazy? Is Flynn so mentally defective he cannot understand what a guilty plea means?

    It starts seeming odd that this former high government official supposedly knows nothing about how laws work.

    Legally speaking, a trial is impossible without a pleading of not guilty. If the defendant refuses to plead not guilty, a judge can enter the plea on his behalf, but there must be a pleading of not guilty. So in a case where there is a pleading of guilty, no trial is ever started, much less over. You have plead guilty in the arraignment, and everyone is moving past the trial on to the sentencing. There is no trial.

    Which is true about 98% of the people in prison. Would you want to release them all?

    No, that makes her guilty of lying to federal agents. Her case involved insider trading, while Flynn's case involved treason. Stewart was almost certainly guilty of the insider trading that she was attempting to cover up, and Flynn is almost certainly guilty of treason.

    The fact remains Flynn lied about his contacts with Russia, and was a conduit of collusion. Whether that rises to the level of treason is more difficult to prove.

    I really don't think the Supreme Court could find a Constitutional right to lie to the FBI about treason. Flynn definitely had the right to keep his mouth shut, but not to try to deceive the FBI.

    But if you think I am wrong, Flynn can reject the pardon and try to take this case to the Supreme Court. It was a common trick to try to pardon civil rights defendants in the hope of preserving the unconstitutional law. It is important to turn down such pardons.

    Then take the case to trial. You claim you have a slam dunk case, so go for it.

    Flynn has legally accepted guilt, so there is no trial available to him. The way he can take this to trial is to reject the pardon. The problem with that is Biden will not give him another pardon when he is found guilty, and he does not have a real appeal in the case.

    If Flynn’s 302 was altered that was a crime and I’d love it if someone went after Weismann. Weaselman a slimy weasel that gives prosecutors a bad name.

    no guilt accepted. Pardons also include a "reprieve" (art.1 Sec 2) which this is since Flynn was never found guilty.
    All you do is lie and continue to lie
