The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
SectionC3 replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Explosive national debt. New taxes on American consumers. Trade barriers. Threatens liberal use of eminent domain to build wall. Unconstitutional power grab to fund wall. Claims absolute authority. Depression era unemployment. Interferes with ongoing judicial proceedings. Volume II of the Mueller report. He’s a fake conservative. Nothing more. -
You must hate what trump did with respect to wall funding if you like the rule of law. Volume II of the mueller report must be a real problem for you too. And this Flynn plea withdrawal thing? Why not let motion practice run it’s course and reserve judgment on the issue? Seems like that’s what someone who supports the rule of law would do.

The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency
SectionC3 replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I had never considered the idea that Rhino is a Russian agent. Maybe he should be on the traitors list. Food for thought. -
Bottom line: You still haven’t figured out the difference between a declaration and a plea. *** EDIT: In the meantime, just in case you forgot, Mike Flynn still is guilty. Enjoy! Tell Hans at the next conspiracy theorists meeting that the Court spoke to “applicable local rules,” not simply to “local rules.”

Bognino is a loser. I’d go with “the IQ of people who watch OAN,” but there might not be too much room for downward departure there.

I stopped reading after your first sentence because you obviously didn’t understand what I wrote. A defendant can’t withdraw a plea simply because he/she feels like it. A certain threshold must be met for that to happen, or a certain showing by the defendant must be made. The “coulds” in my post highlighted some of the “usual suspects” on which defendants rely in moving to withdraw a plea. Whichever one or ones Flynn picked or picks is up to him; I suspect he went with the “bait and switch” and IAC approaches based on some of the point headings in his memo. But, in any event, it’s Tuesday afternoon and Michael Flynn still is guilty. Enjoy! I’ll take, “it’s because he admitted guilt” for $200! This literally made me laugh out loud. The conspiracy theorists telling someone else they’re on shaky intellectual ground. That’s rich. That’s the equivalent of an affidavit there, big boy. It’s not a plea or his “current plea.” And paragraph 47 confirms that Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty. So, as of 4:31 p.m. today, Mike Flynn still is guilty.

The Big Gamble: Hydroxychloroquine
SectionC3 replied to Magox's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
And even if it’s been prescribed I wonder whether he actually consumes the drug. -
The Big Gamble: Hydroxychloroquine

Agreed. He’s full of something, and it’s not hcq. Maybe he can show us the script. -
I don’t lose anything. Today i saw a piece in the news, and it turns out that Flynn pleaded guilty. There has been no change in position. The motion apparently is to vacate the plea. At this point, the question of Flynn’s guilt (he was convicted upon his plea of guilty) is settled. Flynn wants to reopen that question, but to do so he has to demonstrate a reason why he should be permitted by the court to withdraw the plea. It can’t be simply that he changed his mind. It could be a change in govt position on sentence recommendation (aka the bait and switch). It could be that his plea was infected by ineffective assistance of counsel. Or it could be that the plea was not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent. Here it appears that he’s pursuing the first two grounds. Maybe the court allows him to withdraw the plea, maybe it doesn’t. But it can’t be as simple as him changing his mind and declaring that he decided he no longer wants to be guilty. Otherwise we’d never have finality in any criminal case. Here, yup. He is. I’d love to hear from you how he’s not. Please share your expertise.

It is extremely rare for a verdict to be set aside. It’s more frequent for a judgment to be reversed on appeal, but that too is fairly rare. Until the verdict is set aside or judgment reversed, those people are considered guilty. When the judgment is reversed the finding of guilt is expunged. At this point, that makes Flynn ... you guessed it ... guilty!
