BREAKING Former Trump national security adviser moves to withdraw guilty plea for lying to FBI in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation about his contacts with Russia's ambassador.
UPDATE: I think Rachel is hinting that her show tonight will be less debate-talky and more about this crazy day.

(19,407 posts)Judge didn't accept the deal, and now the Prosecutor in light of new evidence is asking for 6 months in jail.
So now he'll want to plead not guilty. It's a stall tactic, he's hoping for a pardon.

(32,226 posts)He was not found guilty he plead guilty based on a plea agreement with the prosecutor. The prosecutor has changed the agreement so he wants to withdraw his guilty plea.
