Judge Gleeson allowed a terrorist to retract his guilty plea, but not a 33-year US military vet.

in Hasbajrami v US* (2014) Gleeson recognized "where the defendant has been induced to plead guilty by egregious misrepresentations or other serious misconduct, a court may find that the defendant was deprived of his ability to plead guilty voluntarily"

Hasbajrami has pled guilty to providing material support to terrorists. Gleeson seems far more concerned about their rights, than rights of a Trump-supporting 33-year military veteran, with incidents of actual heroism - even as a teenager.




Another amazing discovery by Stephen McIntyre! I'd say he's a national treasure, but he's Canadian. ;-)
