Please don't forget who chose to prosecute Martha Stewart. In case you need a refresher, it was James Comey.


Well, now it's fine to lie to investigators. Thanks, Barr.

I'm sure Wray is thrilled.


Only if you're buddies with POTUS, that is.

If this isn't overturned in an en banc rehearing, the appellate courts are going to get deluged will petitions for mandamus that they will deny, somehow distinguishing on the facts without coming out and saying that Flynn's petition was granted because he is buddies with the president.

The opinion does not make Sullivan look good. It basically says that he screwed up, royally.

Knowing the wacky left, Sullivan himself will appeal it.


If the DC circuit court isn't brain dead, they'll take this up say sponte for en banc review.

Yes, if the statute of limitations hasn't run.

Yes!!! Right decision!


Bad precedent for district courts and bad precedent for DOJ.

I love it. Trump and Barr are effing as much as they can before they leave. With McConnell's assistance.
