The top prosecutor in the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn withdrew abruptly and without explanation, a development that comes amid mounting pressure by President Donald Trump and his allies to have the entire matter thrown out of court.
Brandon Van Grack, one of special counsel Robert Mueller's top investigators, informed Judge Emmet Sullivan that he would be quitting the case in a terse, one-sentence filing with the court.Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in 2017 about his conversations with the Russian ambassador but has recently moved to withdraw his plea and accuse investigators of misconduct.
Flynn lied about his close contact with Russians, because he knew it was wrong. Now, he gets a free pass because of the Trump Corruption train.
Okay, Fake News...
so much for the rule of law in this country
America the new Russia Trump the new Putin
‘Amid Trump attacks’?
Yea, I doubt that’s why.
this democracy is dead and cannot be saved.
I know it's moot because DumpTrump is above the law.. but obstruction of justice much?
Give me a break. Put this lil turd in prison already. What cowards. Do you Job. Enough of this. He's guilty as Hell
You mean 'amid overwhelming evidence of prosecutorial misconduct.'
There is no shame in imagining in 2016 that tRump was the 'best' candidate to vote for. But to continue to support him in 2020 requires either a huge compromise of one's own integrity or incredible mental contortions to rationalize his multiple failings. Why do that to yourself
Unlike Putin, Trump has found an effective way to neutralize people without killing them. He is no better than Putin because they are in the same class. They both destroy people who stand in their way, subvert the rule of law, & dismantle the checks & balances of government.
Flynn is totally innocent and should be restored to his rightful place working at the White House. Those in the FBI who conspired to entrap and frame him need to be punished. Their actions undermine the entire federal justice system.
Good! He should be de- barred also.
Brandon is not friend of Flynn
The Roy Cohn playbook
Not to mention his case is imploding.
