AG Barr failed BIGLY to corrupt the Michael Flynn case. If everyone votes, Donald Trump will not be re-elected. This leaves Flynn a desperate position. Trump could pardon him on his way out the door. However, the Department of Justice can simply file additional charges against Flynn. Flynn is likely facing prison time.
How Did We Get Here?
Last month, Judge John Gleeson urged that Barr and his Department of Justice motion to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn be denied. He went on to over a blistering rebuke of AG Barr’s attempt to subvert justice.
“There is clear evidence that this motion reflects a corrupt and politically motivated favor unworthy of our justice system,” wrote Judge Gleeson.
Judge Gleeson continued, “The government’s failure to defend its own pretextual reasoning is matched by its silence on the subject of abuse of power. The government makes virtually no effort to deny or rebut the powerful evidence that its motion improperly seeks to place this Court’s imprimatur on a corrupt, politically motivated favor for the president’s friend and ally.”
Last Month, a Federal Appeals court denied Michael Flynn's motion to dismiss his case in an 8-2 decision. Marking another huge loss for Donald Trump and AG Bill Barr.
The case was being sent back to U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan.
The Flynn case has been turned into a national disgrace by Trump and Barr. It smacks of corruption. AG Barr tried to manipulate America’s justice system to benefit one of Trump’s co-conspirators, allegedly.
Senate Intelligence Report Says Trump Colluded With Russia
According to the Senate Intelligence report, Trump collided with Russia to win the 2016 election.
The Washington Post wrote, “The long-awaited report from the Senate Intelligence Committee contains dozens of new findings that appear to show more direct links between Trump associates and Russian intelligence, and pierces the president’s long-standing attempts to dismiss the Kremlin’s intervention on his behalf as a hoax.”
The Senate Intelligence committee findings include “that a longtime partner of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was, in fact, a Russian intelligence officer.”
Flynn Felony
Last month Rep Ted Lieu Tweeted, “While the details may be convoluted, the principal is simple. Michael Flynn committed a felony. He pled guilty, twice. The court accepted the guilty pleas. Case is now in the hands of the court. It’s the court that decides the outcome, not prosecutors. No one is above the law.”
Sally Yates Testified
Just last month, Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified before Congress. She spelled Flynn’s actions out.
First, Flynn snuggled up to Russian officials behind the back of the sitting president—President Obama.
Second, Flynn undermined American/Russian policy.
Third, Flynn lied about it to American Intelligence officials.
Judge Sullivan Wins
Last month, the Federal Appeals court ordered Judge Sullivan to dismiss the criminal case against Michael Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
In a shocking twist, Judge Sullivan refused to dismiss the case and asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit for a rehearing en banc.
The goal of the full appellate panel was to apply the rule of law and prevent Barr from carrying out Trump's political agenda of dismissing the Flynn case. Judge Sullivan stopped Barr.
Barr Bumbled And Failed Bigly
Barr’s DOJ sought to dismiss the criminal case against Micheal Flynn despite Flynn pleading guilty.
Fun Fact: Flynn served as Trump’s former National Security Adviser. Flynn plead guilty in 2017 for lying to the FBI about conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak regarding Russian Sanctions.
Last month, Judge Sullivan asked why Flynn should not be held in contempt of court for Perjury. Moreover, Judge Sullivan appointed Federal Judge John Gleeson to argue against AG Barr and DOJ request to dismiss the Flynn case.
Judge Gleeson Accuses AG Barr Of Gross Abuse
Judge Gleeson was the Federal prosecutor who took down the Gambino and Colombo crime families - and locked up John Gotti.
In a stunning rebuke, Judge Gleeson accused Barr’s DOJ of exercising a “gross abuse of prosecutorial power” to protect an ally of Donald Trump, distorting known facts and legal principles to protect Michael Flynn from a prison sentence.
Moreover, Judge Gleeson destroyed Barr’s handling of the Flynn case, describing it as an “irregular” effort that courts would “scoff” at if the defendant was anyone other than a Trump.
What Now?
So three years after pleading guilty, Flynn— an alleged traitor who compromised America’s national security and then lied about it — is facing prison.
Judge Sullivan has a hearing scheduled on this matter later this month.
Trump and Barr failed. It’s now up to Judge Sullivan to decide Flynn’s fate.
