BREAKING: Court-appointed lawyer in Michael Flynn case slams Justice Dept. attempt to abandon the prosecution: “These claims are not credible,' the retired judge wrote. 'Indeed, they are preposterous.'

Federal District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan of Washington appointed Gleeson to submit arguments about why the government should not be allowed to drop the case, so that Sullivan could consider both sides.

Flynn told the FBI that he did talk to Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the Trump transition but denied that they talked about Russia's response to the latest Obama sanctions or about a forthcoming UN vote. He later admitted that both those statements were untrue. Clearly the president is personally invested in ensuring that Flynn's prosecution ends, Gleeson said, adding,"Everything about this irregular."

Liberal socialist judge. No surprise on the morons comments. Respect is earned he's nothing but a regular person. No one cares what he thinks he knows. McConnell you need to appoint more judges now. So, we can have a court that believes in the constitution.

djlane Flynn is an admitted traitor and liar to the FBI but has all of a sudden decided that he no longer wants to accept responsibility for his deceitful actions. Too late! He admitted he lied and should now pay the consequences - period!

Judge Gleeson was an excellent AUSA in the EDNY and a great District Judge there as well. His court opinions concerning the mandatory minimum drug statutes and the crack/cocaine discrepancy are legend and well worth reading.

Justice Department showed 'gross abuse of prosecutorial power' in Michael Flynn case, court-appointed arbiter saysRetired federal judge John Gleeson said DOJ 'had abdicated' its responsibility by attempting to provide special treatment to a presidential ally. In other words deadbeat donald and his puppy dog Barr are crooks. Lock them up. How come? Muller investigation was based on lies and was not able to provide a single evidence of collusion. I would beg to differ. I'm no admirer of General Flynn, but I know how contrived and toxic to critical diplomacy the anti-Russia xenophobia is. J.F.K. devoted his life to preventing war between Russia and the U.S.A. but they made it a crime to speak with Russia's envoy. Shameful!

Flynn should be sentenced for lying and perjury, court-appointed lawyer saysFormer national security adviser Michael Flynn should be sentenced for lying, including perjuring himself in court, rather than have the charges against him dismissed, a court-appointed attorney and former judge said Wednesday. That’s a political hit job if I’ve ever seen one. If this happens, round up all witnesses, Comey, McCabe, etc for perjuring themselves. They all lie! Your lies are getting old It's sad that a court has to go to extreme measures just to be able to sentence someone that ALREADY PLEADED GUILTY!!!

Derek Chauvin's bail set at $1.25M in first court appearance in George Floyd deathThe former Minneapolis police officer is facing charges of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death. He looks remorseful. Perhaps he’s always craved prison 🍆 To anyone that thinks raising the degree it is not higher charges. He will go free if they cannot find evidence of a planned murder. Thank you! I wonder how long it will before trump gives him a pardon. And douche bag Barr exonerates him
