The judge presiding over the tumultuous case of Michael Flynn pumped the brakes Tuesday on an effort by the Justice Department to drop the case against the former national security adviser and ally of President Donald Trump.
Sullivan did not say whether he plans to hold a hearing on the government’s unusual motion to abandon the two-and-a-half year old case, but his announcement Tuesday signals that he plans to entertain arguments—at least in writing—against the unified front in favor of dismissal being advanced by the prosecution and defense.from Flynn's lawyers confirming that he consents to the case against him being dropped.
In a bid for leniency, Flynn cooperated extensively with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation as part of his plea agreement. A career prosecutor assigned to the case while working in Mueller's office, Brandon van Grack, withdrew, and the department's notice to Sullivan was signed only by the top prosecutor for Washington, DC., who is a former aide to Attorney General William Barr.
In addition to the smattering of formal legal filings, a tussle over the Flynn case has played out in public over the past few days, through op-eds, news reports, cable TV appearances and social media posts.the Justice Department's decision last week, declaring that it showed"our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk" in the U.S..
For good cause. For example:
Guilty
Same Judge who refused 24x to hear 3rd Party testimony supporting GenFlynn now will hear 3rd Party testimony OPPOSING him! This is the type of black-robe clad leftist activist Democrats appoint as 'Judge'! RememberInNovember ABC DFBHarvard WayneDupreeShow realDonaldTrump
Shameful! After an enormous amount of evidence discovered, spying, inc. hand written notes from a few bad cops at the top of the FBI, etc., Sullivan decides to put a hold? Well we know who stands behind that order. OnamaGate
Lock Him Up
Seems like a waste, because Trump is just going to pardon him. I guess the stand for rule of law is important, but seems like a waste of resources at the same time.
Surprised that when he pumped the brakes he didn't find that Trump and Barr had cut the brake lines.
Good, this dismissal effort stinks to high heaven of corruption and should be halted in its tracks.
Flynn pleaded guilty.
