" The Court should therefore deny the Government’s motion to dismiss, adjudicate any remaining motions, and then sentence the Defendant."
"Flynn has indeed committed perjury in these proceedings, for which he deserves punishment...[The Court] should take Flynn’s perjury into account in sentencing him on the offense to which he has already admitted guilt."
"...here, there is clear evidence that prosecutors have

abuse..."
"While serving as the National Security Advisor, Flynn repeatedly lied about the nature and extent of his communications with a senior official of a hostile foreign power that was being sanctioned by the U.S. government for interfering with the U.S. presidential election."
"He did so to FBI agents carrying out the FBI’s
'general function' of conducting investigations into potential threats to national security. Lies
about such communications could 'adversely affect the ability of the [FBI] to perform this
function.'"

"In sum, Flynn’s falsehoods were material under applicable law; the Government repeatedly recognized as much in its prior statements and filings, as did Flynn in his guilty plea;
and this Court (twice) agreed with that position, which is now law of the case."
