Federal Judge John Gleeson ripped apart AG Barr’s handling of the Michael Flynn case.
Recall that 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 Emmet Sullivan asked why Michael 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 was the Federal prosecutor who took down the Gambino and Colombo crime families - and locked up John Gotti.
In a stunning rebuke, Judge Gleason accused AG Bill 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.
It appears that Trump and Barr’s move to drop the charges against Flynn may have just backfired.
