More: The presiding judge, Emmet Sullivan, in the Flynn case has made an unusual move by refusing to dismiss the case against Flynn as requested by the Barr Department and appointed a retired colleague to brief why the case should not be dismissed in the interests of justice. This request for an amicus curie brief is highly unusual in a criminal case. Judge Sullivan was visibly perturbed by Gen. Flynn's guilty pleas to lying to the FBI about his contacts with a Russian diplomat. There are reports that Judge Sullivan might consider a new perjury or contempt charge against Flynn pending the brief by retired judge John Gleeson. He has already authored an op-ed piece in the Washington Post critical of the Attorney General's motion to dismiss the case after guilty pleas were entered by the defendant. He wrote that the record in Flynn's case, "reeks of improper political influence.”
(08.05.20} After pleading guilty twice to lying to the FBI about his contacts with a Russian diplomat, Gen. Michael Flynn, the former National Security Advisor to the Antichrist for a month, was resurrected from the convicted by the Department of Barr, which dropped the case against him. The stunning reversal caused the lead government attorney on the case to withdraw, and another apparently refused to sign the pleading ending the prosecution. The 'Merican people have learned that this regime has no scruples, moral or otherwise, when it comes to undoing the findings of the Mueller investigation. Flynn was offered the opportunity to withdraw his plea when his lawyer raised concerns about entrapment before federal District Judge Emmet Sullivan. Flynn's lawyer replied, he "stands by his plea." There has been persistent speculation that Totale Trumpillini would pardon Flynn at some point. 'Consiglieri' Barr made that politically fraught decision moot by burning down the Justice Department's facade pf impartiality.
