The Justice Department's decision to drop the criminal case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn was a 'corrupt and politically motivated favor,' a court-appointed lawyer says

The Justice Department's decision to drop the criminal case against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn was a"corrupt and politically motivated favor," a former judge who was appointed to analyze the case said Friday in a new court filing.

John Gleeson's comments Friday include some of the sharpest rebukes of the Justice Department to date and directly accuse President Donald Trump's appointees of doing his bidding to protect Flynn merely because he is a political ally. "In the United States, Presidents do not orchestrate pressure campaigns to get the Justice Department to drop charges against defendants who have pleaded guilty -- twice, before two different judges -- and whose guilt is obvious," Gleeson wrote.

Politicians and the evilness of corruption. It happens in all governments.

FREE MICHAEL FLYNN

The court-appointed lawyer wouldn't be a friend of Obama's by any chance?

He’s a traitor, he should be in jail

Wouldn't expect it any other way.

This is what's corrupt. ___ Why haven't we heard more about this? If this were Trump and his family, he'd be 'in chains'!

Talk about corrupt.

The only corrupt people were the Democrats judges that didn't give Justice to Inocent Flynn and choose to pursue with sham injustice trial.

CNN be honest, this is your view. The anonymous source is just cover.

Is this corrupt charge ever going to end. Its malicious

They should have got him on treason and sentenced him to death because he's a traitor to the American people

TrumpGenocide HuffPost reuters maddow “Deflect all the blame, steal all the credit!” Another judge has found corruption in the administration of realDonaldTrump! Need more evidence?

TRUTH!

Was it corrupt and politically motivated to go after the general in the first place? Is his crime not that he disagreed with the geniuses in the Obama administration?

The desperate need for a judge to become a prosecutor proves it's a corrupt and politically motivated move

And? That’s what attorneys say. Let me know when a judge says that.

The rule of law is dangerously close to breaking down.

FAKE NEWS!!! Real news that should be reported below....

And they thought they could get away with it. The judge will throw out the DOJ request to dismiss. “Lock him up!!!”

And what Biden and Obama did to the incoming Trump administration just gets swept under the carpet. Nothing to see here guys. Trump is the bad guy of course...

CorruptDonaldTrump Everything that trump inherits he corrupts or bankrupts !

Which means nothing.......... Lawyers always go for the throat of those they were hired to defeat. Flynn was Coerced. the Whole Trial was a farce Prosecutorial Malfeasance.

SET HIM FREE! SET HIM FREE! SET HIM FREE!! SET HIM FREE!

God bless you & family Mr. Flynn. I wish you nothing but the best! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This article makes me see red!!!!! It takes a lot to make me mad & I am infuriated 🤬🤬🤬!!! IT HAS BEEN PROBEN THE ENTIRE RUSSIAN COLUSION WAS B.S.!!! A LAWYER ADMITTED LYING FOR THE DEMIGORGIN’s & THE FACT THAT YOU WILL WRITE THIS ARTICLE/POST OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT

Re-try him?

Of course it was. What do you expect from the Trump administration. The man and the people that work for him have no moral compass.

A garbage source says lol 😂

This is my 2020 shocked face

Why doe he look like he is a spy

Bill Barr turned the US into a banana republic. BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

Wow. Such winning. Actually get a conviction in a case, then drop the charges. Something really stinks at the DOJ. 🐟 🗑

Umm duh?

FakeNewsCnn

CNN is at it again. Sorry, anyone with a brain can see what happened here. It's all political. Meanwhile back at Mueller's investigation, they were wiping cell phones? Why?

DISGRACE !!!!

Well, he did plead guilty both verbally and in writing...but hey...for many that's simply a insignificant detail.

His kisses were nice though ...... sigh 😘

Of course it was, he’s the AntiChrist!

You don't say...

How ironic! The Justice Department not standing for justice!

Like Peter Strozk’s Insurance policy? cancelled

'court appointed' i.e. corrupt partisan hack 'appointed' by the judge, who is NOT party to the case, for an amicus brief in a criminal case (illegal) says it was politically motivated. Wrong on all counts, but OK

Oh, please.

No shit

Barr and Trump the corrupt duo belong in prison

“Corrupt and politically motivated” Welcome to the Trump Barr show

What’s happened to this man is one of the greatest injustices in our country’s history.

Ya think!!

Tough.

Was a HOAX! 😆

FINALLY 2 YRS LATER

An off topic alert! Callous & crook covfefe.

True ✅

Why the hell is the Justice Department investigating the Trump campaign and possibly the GOP?

In a crowded field of Trump exposés, only Michael Cohen's shows how he corrupts souls'Disloyal,' by Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer, convicted for finance crimes and perjury, is a rake's progress of a Trump loyalist betrayed. It's amazing how quickly the left will praise the very people they spent years smearing the moment they need that person to smear someone for them. If he were this evil hardass authoritarian, no book. No Mike, tbh. That wasn't Woodward's intent, but OK. Another false narrative

Ex-Cops in George Floyd Case Greeted by Angry Crowd Leaving CourtEx-cops involved in George Floyd murder case arrived in court as protests erupted. They should already know about his drug overdose. Have the libs acknowledged it yet? NO JUSTICE NO PEACE NO RACIST POLICE The playing dead scene is my favorite protest formation from the protest menu. It's incredibly hard to throw explosive devices from the supine position.
