CDZ For The Record: Rules of The Court

[Wry Catcher]

Some of the Trump supporters, attempting to obstruct Mr. Mueller's investigation, are claiming that General Flynn's guilty plea was bogus and will eventually be vacated.

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(d) requires that the court not accept a plea of guilty or nolo contendere without first, by addressing the defendant personally in open court, determining that the plea is voluntary and not the result of force or threats or of promises apart from a plea agreement. The Court shall also inquire whether the defendant's willingness to plead guilty or nolo contendere results from prior discussions between the attorney for the government and the defendant or his/her attorney.

There is nothing ‘bogus’ about Flynn’s guilty plea, about the merits of the Russia investigations, or the targeting of Trump henchmen by investigators.

Trump will pardon him.
