Judge in Flynn case taps retired judge to make case against DOJ move to drop charges

WASHINGTON — The federal judge overseeing the case against Ret. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has appointed a retired judge to present arguments in the case opposing the Department of Justice's request to dismiss the charges against the ex-national security adviser.

Judge Emmet Sullivan said that he wants retired Judge John Gleeson to present those arguments about why the charges against Flynn shouldn't be dropped and to explore the possibility that Flynn lied to Sullivan.Sullivan said that he wants Gleeson to address whether the court should explore the possibility that Flynn could be held in criminal contempt for perjury.

Sullivan said earlier this week that he would allow individuals outside of the Justice Department as well as Flynn's attorneys to submit filings in the case that might be able to provide the court with additional information or perspectives that might help him make a decision on whether to dismiss the charges against Flynn or let him withdraw his guilty plea.

Judicial rascality

He’s a black judge

Absolutely outrageous overstep by the judge. In what world does he think he can hold someone in contempt for trying to withdraw his plea Unheard of.

LOCK HIM UP!

And all because of ObamaGate, boo hoo hoo...

The judge is playing politics. Judges hear cases, not prosecute them.

The same judge wrote to WaPo few day ago. This is America! 'The Flynn case isn’t over until the judge says it’s over'

Collusion delusion continues.
