On Tuesday, Michael Flynn and his attorneys faced skepticism from the appeals court as judges weighed in over whether Judge Sullivan overstepped his authority by refusing to dismiss the Flynn case.
The Flynn case has been turned into a national joke by the Trump administration. It smacks of corruption. AG Bill Barr appears to have manipulated America’s justice system to benefit one of Donald Trump’s cronies.
On Tuesday 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 week 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 fought for justice
Last month, the Federal Appeals court ordered U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan to dismiss the criminal case against Michael Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
In a shocking twist, Judge Sullivan asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit for a rehearing en banc.
The goal of the full appellate panel is to apply the rule of law and prevent Barr from carrying out Trump's political agenda of dismissing the Flynn case.
Barr interfered?
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 has a stellar reputation
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 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 happens next?
So three years after pleading guilty, Flynn—an alleged traitor who compromised America’s national security and then lied about—could walk free.
The only remedy is to vote Trump out of office on November 3rd. Then, an investigation into Trump, Barr and Flynn need to begin to root out corruption.
Perhaps if Rep. Adam Schiff is named as Joe Biden’s Attorney General, he will take up this case on behalf of Americans.
