Michael Flynn To Withdraw His Guilty Plea? (No. Fake News)

According to trumpy WYD commenter Beantown Antifacist, Michael Flynn will soon will be withdrawing his admission of wrongdoing (Flynn being the first Trump associate to submit a guilty plea to Robert Mueller).

Beantown Antifacist: Oh my, Flynn's guilty plea is going bye-bye, Mueller got his d*ck caught in the judges candy jar! (2/19/2018 at 1:43pm).

"Beantown AntiFascist" (not a member of the Antifa movement despite typing "punch a Nazi" a lot) links to an article from the Right-wing Federalist site by Margot Cleveland (a lawyer). As per Cleveland, "a motion by Michael Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea based on government misconduct is likely in the works".

"Likely in the works" appears to be nothing but wishful thinking (The Federalist, btw, published a defense of the scumbag sexual assaulter of young girls, Roy Moore). Perhaps "likely in the works" is a rhetorical ploy to trick gullible readers like Beanie that this is actually happening? Even though there is no evidence it is. I mean, have you heard about Flynn withdrawing his plea in the mainstream media?

If/when Flynn lawyers make moves to withdraw his plea, I am positive it will be reported. "Lying media" charges notwithstanding. But my prediction is we'll never hear about Flynn withdrawing his plea because he isn't going to.

The following from 2/21/2018 airing of The Rachel Maddow Show (a discussion with Chuck Rosenberg regarding the possibility of Flynn withdrawing his plea).

->Rachel Maddow: [A] development that I think we need some professional help with... if you had your ear to the ground on the political Right today, you'd have heard new rumblings coming out of the Conservative media saying Trump National Security advisor Mike Flynn should withdraw his guilty plea. Mike Flynn pled guilty in December to lying to the FBI. He agreed to cooperate with the Special Counsel's investigation. These new calls on the Right that Mike Flynn should withdraw that guilty plea appear to spring from something that the judge just did in Mike Flynn's case. The judge just issued an order that doesn't say anything specific about the case against Flynn, but reasserts to Robert Mueller's prosecutors that they have the responsibility under the law to hand over to Flynn's defense counsel any evidence they have come across in their investigation that turns out to be favorable to Mike Flynn. I think this the second time the judge has made that sort of a reminder to the prosecutors. Is it a red flag of some kind that the prosecution has done something wrong? Does it mean that Mike Flynn should withdraw his guilty plea? Is that even an option for him? Joining us now is Chuck Rosenberg, former US attorney who has worked with James Comey and Robert Mueller in the past. A former chief of staff at the FBI. Chuck thank you for being here. ... On this matter of Mike Flynn... this order from the judge that appears to have been issued on his own say-so and not in response to anything else going on in the case... The political right says this means there is a real problem in the Flynn prosecution... how do you see this matter? ->Chuck Rosenberg: Much ado about nothing. Many Federal District court judges have a standard discovery order that they enter in every single case. My understanding is that Judge Sullivan has a similar discovery order. In other words, regardless of it's posture, he will file an order telling the government to make sure it abides by it's discovery obligations. That it provides exculpatory or impeachment information to the defense. My understanding is that he updated that order, that he does that from time to time. So I don't think there is anything to it, frankly and I'm sure the government will abide by it. ->Rachel Maddow: There is no indication, in him doing this, that the government has proven itself to need this kind of a reminder because there has been some kind of misbehavior? ->Chuck Rosenberg: Prosecutors know their stuff. There's no indication that there has been any misbehavior. There is no indication in any way that the prosecutors in any way have failed to meet their obligations. And, by the way Rachel, there is absolutely no indication that Mr. Flynn wants to withdraw his guilty plea. And, even if he did, that is an awfully difficult thing to do.

So there you have it. There is nothing to this idea that Michael Flynn will be withdrawing his guilty plea. Despite Beanie's excitement that it is going "bye-bye". And that Mueller's entire case against Trump and his associates will soon be falling apart.

Beantown Antifacist: Seems the Prosecutors leverage has left him. He must disclose ALL of his evidence, not merely its most prejudicial aspects. And since he developed so much of it from a tainted tree, the prosecutor will undoubtfully be left with very little that will remain "admissable". Tsk-tsk. (2/19/2018 at 5:50pm).

As Mr. Rosenberg said, there is nothing to suggest that the prosecutors DIDN'T disclose everything. Judge Emmet Sullivan simply issues this reminder routinely and his doing so (re the Flynn case) does not indicate any wrongdoing by the prosecutors.

The "tainted tree" remark is a reference to Trump stooge Devin Nunes' fake memo that incorrectly suggests the FISA warrant against Carter Page was obtained via deception. The FBI (as per Devin Nunes) dishonestly presented it's case for their warrant. But, given the fact that that argument is complete horsepucky, "fruit of the poisonous tree" does not apply.

The Atlantic: [the Nunes memo is] a cherry-picked document designed for one and only one purpose: to discredit Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 election by casting doubt on the "legitimacy and legality" of the FBI's application for a surveillance order on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. (excerpt from Devin Nunes's Fake Oversight by Amy Zegart. 2/20/2018).

The point of the continual casting of doubt on the Mueller investigation is to make sure the #trumpdupes are thoroughly brainwashed to not accept whatever conclusions the Mueller investigation reaches. At least in regards to Trump. Lisa (the proprietor of WYD) readily accepted that Russians meddled in our elections. Although the next thing the #trumpdupes accepted was that "Trump said colusion was a hoax, not the Russian involment".

The Democrats had to come up with a story as to why they lost the election, and so badly (306), so they made up a story - RUSSIA. Fake news!

LOL! These suckers will go along with whatever Trump and the Trump-supporting RW media tells them. On the other hand, I think some of them (at least) know Trump TOTALLY colluded (and his "win" is not legitimate) and just don't care. Their (White Nationalist) man is in the White House (as opposed to the evil Globalist Crooked Hillary) and that is ALL that matters.

On The Beantown Sockpuppet Profferinging Old Canard About George Soros & The Nazis

George Soros is a Jewish supporter/funder of AntiFa (alleged). He has also been accused of being a Nazi collaborator by the Right-wing that hates him. Because he funds Left-wing causes. The Beantown Sockpuppet (RWer who pretends that he's AntiFa) brought up this old canard recently on the RW trumpanzee blog Who's Your Daddy.

According to Beany, Trump can't be an anti-Semite because of his SIL Jared Kushner. Similar to how Steve Bannon can't be an anti-Semite because Breitbart was founded by someone who was Jewish (Andrew Breitbart). This, despite the fact that the ADL disagrees. Obviously associating with Jews (or even having Jewish people in your family) does not preclude or prevent someone from being an anti-Semite. Which Trump is, BTW.

Next (following a comment by me concerning the Kush) Beanie moved on to the old RW canard concerning George Soros and the Nazis.

Dervish Sanders: If Jared Kushner had been alive during the holocaust he might have joined a "Jews for Hitler" organization. If you'd been alive during this time period you probably would have praised Kusher for not being a "binary thinker". As for small minds, it's people with them that advocate violence. (8/28/2017 at 6:21pm). Beantown AntiFa: You mean like George Soros did? No wonder he's so generous to AntiFa! (8/29/2017 at 5:27am).

What does he mean? That Soros is "so generous" to AntiFa because of guilt over collaborating with Nazis? First of all, I don't know if Soros is involved in any way with AntiFa. The Right alleges this because Soros is their boogeyman. Many of the things he's been accused of by the Right are total bullshit (paying Trump protesters, for example).

Secondly, that Soros collaborated with the Nazis is false and has been debunked. As I pointed out to Beanie.

Dervish Sanders: Soros' father bribed a government official to say he was his nephew. To save his life. Soros explains: "I was only a spectator... I had no role in taking away that property". DEBUNKED BY SNOPES. (8/29/2017 at 9:32am). Beantown AntiFa: Soros was framed! You sound like some of MY leaders! (8/29/2017 at 11:08am). Beantown AntiFa: I vuz only followink orders! If I did NOT follow ze orders to gas da Jewz, I vould haf bin SHOT! (8/29/2017 at 11:11am).

The Beantown ASSHOLE's comment about "following orders" was how some German participants in Nazi atrocities explained their actions. George Soros (at the time) was a 13-year-old boy who accompanied his fake uncle when he confiscated property from Jews. He wasn't "only following orders" in that he was "only a spectator" and "had no role in taking away that property".

An article from "Knowledge Fight" explains what happened in regards to Soros' fake uncle and what he did while under his care (in hiding from Nazis who wanted to kill him).

Soros's father... bribed an official in Budapest to take in George, with the backstory being that he was this official's Christian god-son. The official in question was in charge of cleaning up after Jews were sent off to camps; he would come in and take all their valuables, and as part of maintaining his cover, young George Soros assisted in this. (Link)

So he "helped" (to maintain his cover) but he had no role. It was not up to him. The property would have been confiscated whether or not Soros had been present. Hence his "spectator" comment. That Beanie brings up this lie (along with the "I was only following orders" line) to criticize a 13 year-old Jewish boy is reprehensible and disgusting. Soros followed the "orders" of his father to stay alive. The Nazis were the bad guys in this scenario, not a Jewish boy wbo did what he had to in order to survive.

But notice that Beanie suggests that Soros had some role in actually killing his fellow Jews? Bennie says that Soros had to "gas da Jewz" or be shot. That Soros physically harmed any Jewish person is an outright lie. So despicable that I think you definitely could call it anti-Semitism. Which wouldn't surprise me at all... that the RW fake AntiFa "Beantown" is an anti-Semite.

He surely has proven himself to be a reprehensible scumbag, what with his sockpuppetry, repeating of RW lies, and now anti-Semitism. Although this is not a-typical for "Who's Your Daddy", a blog where many anti-Semitic comments can be found. Although the scumbag cowards that post them usually do so anonymously.

Image: Fake George Soros quote that proves how much the Right hates this man. Snopes says "Although this image indicated that the business magnate and political activist made this comment during the course of an interview with the Germany newspaper Bild in September 2014, we found no evidence that any such interview took place. The putative statement from Soros about his funding Black Hate groups does not appear in the newspaper's archives for September 2014 (or any other month), nor did we find reference to it in any other credible publication".

Trump's RepubliKKKlan Party (Response To A Comment From RW Sockpuppet "Beantown AntiFacist")

The following is an exchange that occurred on the Who's Your Daddy RW trumpanzee blog.

Beantown AntiFacist: Bash the Fash! Stomp Nazi scum! Hate speech isn't free speech! DemoKKKrat monuments MUST come down! Reparations from DemoKKKrats! (8/26/2017 at 8:09am). Dervish Sanders: "Beantown AntiFacist" is a Right-wing sockpuppet. There is no such thing as "DemoKKKrats". There is not now and there never was. It is true that many White Southern supporters of slavery and (later) Jim Crow, voted Democratic. That changed after LBJ signed Civil Rights Legislation. These former White Democratic voters were courted by Nixon (re his Southern Strategy). It is the Republican Party that is the party of racism. This is why scumbag racists like David Duke and Richard Spencer support Trump! It's the RepubliKKKan Party now more than ever. (8/26/2017 at 9:12am).

I think you can deduce why I say the Bean Guy is a sockpuppet. Controlled by a right-winger with the intention of smearing Leftists. The Antifa is supposedly Communist and (re their activities here in the US) violent (in that they've been blamed for some property damage). Wikipedia says "the distinctive feature of self-described antifa groups is to oppose Fascism in direct action, including the willingness to use violence" (although my suspicion is that this Wikipedia entry has been RW doctored).

Note that I (a self-described Democratic Socialist) am not anti-capitalist. I am in favor of highly regulated capitalism and a mixed economy. I am also opposed to protest violence and property destruction. This kind of behavior only makes the Left look bad. Hence the use of the handle "Beantown AntiFacist" by an (obvious) RW puppeteer (he frequently types the pro-violence slogan "bash the fash").

Another dead give-away is Bean's use of "DemoKKKrat" for the Democratic Party. Someone whose politics were Left-leaning would know that it's the Republican Party that is disenfranchising Black voters (Kris Kobach's Interstate Crosscheck being the modern version of Jim Crow laws that sought to restrict the voting of African Americans). And they'd know that African Americans overwhelmingly vote Democratic (Pew says HRC received 88% of the Black vote & Obama received 93%). "DemoKKKrat" is an obvious RW smear.
