Barr Installs Outside Prosecutor to Review Case Against Michael Flynn, Ex-Trump Adviser

[Anonymous]

And yet, he pleaded guilty

So, you are out of money on legal fees. You've lost your house. They threaten to prosecute your son but say they won't if you plead guilty.

What would you do? Trouble is, the "prosecute son" part was not disclosed in the plea. That's grounds to vacate the case. The prosecutor is obligated to include that if it were part of the agreement and there is documentation among Flynn's earlier lawyers that it was part of the plea.

Crooked prosecutor. Crooked FBI .

Flynn may not be perfect, but he did not deserve this.

And, what is really sad--the people on DCUM who are disappointed that there was no Russian collusion. That speaks volumes.

DCUM is disappointed when there is a miscarriage of justice. We are disappointed when traitors walk free. We are disappointed when a foreign adversary’s interference is welcomed by Trumpists.
Yes, we are disappointed. You should be too.

He admitted it in open court. Please.

Shame on you for peddling this.

First, you don't betray your country, and if you are truly innocent, then the government wouldn't have the evidence that it had.

You really don't get it. The FBI broke the law in some of their moves against Flynn. The DOJ prosecutor also did not follow the law. Justice has finally been served. Flynn may not be perfect, but he was not guilty of the charge. The DOJ prosecutor did not disclose all the conditions of the plea.

The FBI investigates crimes. It does not question people and then come up with a crime. Except, that is what happened.

Then why not let the judge do his job? Why try to circumvent the process?

That said, this is a major flash point for this DOJ, this AG and rule of law in our country, or what is left of it.

A very sad day in America.

Well said. This is very sad. Flynn lied to the Vice President and pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

IMO Barr will eventually be prosecuted for his many, many obstructions of justice.

I hope so. I don't want any of that healing and unity bull**** by the next administration. I want people fairly and impartially investigated and prosecuted when appropriate.

Barr is trying to pardon flynn himself.

1. He was set up. That is not legal.
2. There was no crime to investigate.
3. Exculpatory material was withheld by prosecution. That is illegal.
4. The plea did not include the "lawyer's agreement." That is also illegal.

He was not involved in any collusion. There was no collusion. There never was.

There wasn't a set up and nothing illegal or out of the ordinary by the FBI or DOJ.
There were massive crimes, and he took a plea deal on a lessor charge and then reneged on that.
There was no exculpatory material.
There was no "lawyers agreement" to include.

Have you actually read the documents or are you just parroting echo chamber BS?

Mueller turned a profit. Money well spent.

We are a banana republic. Trump might as well wear a fake military uniform. I'm surprised he's not already doing it.

And the Republicans are silent, because they got their tax cuts and their Sup Ct justice, and they are nihilists who don't care how many tens of thousands Americans die because of this grifting bleach-drinking buffoon.

Maybe things have changed, but back in the day Judge Sullivan would be the very last judge I'd try to hornswoggle like this.

[Anonymous]

William Barr’s Justice Department (but not the prosecutors on the case) told a federal judge it doesn’t believe it can prove a charge that Mike Flynn has admitted to in open court.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be Shea right now. Or Van Grack either.

Van Greck resigned the case an hour before it went down.

You think Sullivan is going to be happy about that?
