Former Watergate prosecutors urge judge to buck Justice Department and not dismiss Michael Flynn case
CNN ^ | 5/12/20 | Katelyn Polantz, David Shortell

Posted on 05/13/2020 3:39:22 AM PDT by Libloather

(CNN) Sixteen former Watergate prosecutors have told a federal judge he has the authority to sentence former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn to prison despite the Justice Department's effort to toss the case.

The filings add prominent voices to the backlash against Attorney General William Barr's softening of criminal prosecutions against President Donald Trump's associates.

In legal memos sent to the court on Monday and obtained by CNN, the former prosecutors essentially laid out the legal footing they believe Judge Emmet Sullivan has to reject the dismissal request and sentence Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

They compared the current situation at the Justice Department to Watergate, the scandal and criminal investigation that led to the President Richard Nixon's resignation.

The group, calling themselves friends of the court or "amici" in legal parlance, "experienced the 'Saturday Night Massacre,' during which an honorable Attorney General and an honorable Deputy Attorney General resigned or were dismissed rather than obey the instructions of a self-interested President to frustrate the work of an independent Special Prosecutor," they wrote to the judge.

“””Holy crap. That’s the first time I’ve actually seen those guys talk. They are fat nerds and one of them wears sunglasses indoors. Is he a movie star or what?”””


I was looking for a pic I have of Glenn without glasses, doing a role play with Ginger mocking you know who. Still looking. Obviously his sunglasses didn’t work like your sunglasses.

Meanwhile, it’s worth a few mins to watch part of this vid to see Glenn almost redpill himself, but at least realizes he had been conned by a con man so he later “burns his bridge” and walks away from Magacoalition, and Walter was right there in the live chat:

32:28Roman Walter - I can also mediate. Here from Ground Zero.

The truth is not Walter’s friend and he runs from it, which is what he does, gaslighting all the way.

Nothing I said is a lie.

Everything you say is a lie. It's what shills and fake paytriots do.

I tried to discourage people from acting like a judicial process on a motion is something worth calling and trying to make noise about with a judge.

Then tell that to your derptard buddies who make a career out of protesting judges. If they can do it, we can do it. Stop trying to shut patriots down. This is war.

I said it’s more important to direct that energy toward elected officials.

Its not more important in the Flynn case. Time is of the essence. Bitching to legislators is all well and fine, but they have no bearing on the Flynn matter at this time. You know that, and yet you try to divert our attention away from Sullivan. Illogical and derpish. Its the act of the enemy.

As for the video, the guy in the sunglasses is very thin.

He's a disgusting fatbody, just like the other guy and you. And he wears dark glasses indoors like as if he's the fat, bald head version of Stevie Wonder.

Not only have I supported General Flynn for years. He follows me on Twitter.

If that's true and not another one of your lies, he does it to keep an eye on you. He watches subversives.

For some reason, the term “cream pie” comes to mind.

I was thinking 'blumpkin' or 'dirty sanchez'. Did you see those two weirdos?

“libel” is a specific legal term that requires evidence of harm by both the writer and the publisher who allows it. FR is not a publisher, it is a platform. I think you owe JimRob an apology.

He thinks I libeled him cause I called him fat.

Mix in a salad, fat boy, and you won't have that problem.

Well, he says he’s a “conservative” “writer” working in NYC and from NJ.

Imaginative words following narrative $$$?

Part of the Travis View crowd? Who cares?

Not part of any crowd. I worship at no altar of an imaginary alphabet letter god nor do I “Trust Wray” or other nonsense because some grifters on the Chans say to.

I don’t know any Freddy either. I do know the scamming LARPers.

Well if Barr was planning any sort of leniency for the rat criminals, he now will be pissed enough to go full indictment on them.

” Assuming for sake of argument Flynn lied, that lie is not material,...”

One does not have to go down that road in Flynn’s case. The reality is that the FBI does not a scintilla of evidence that can prove that Flynn lied in the interview. BUT there is evidence that the FBI lied.

The original FBI notes (302s?) made by the 2 agents (included Mr Strozk) who interviewed Flynn are missing! The FBI summary (a re-write and edit) of the Flynn interview says Flynn lied. BUT... there is FBI testimony before Congress that the agents did not believe that Flynn lied in the interview. So either the FBI lied to Congress, or the FBI lied in their summary.

Judge Sullivan had this type of thing happen to him before in the Ted Stevens political take-down where the FBI-DOJ lied. He did not use his contempt powers, but he was not very happy with the government. He had it investigated but nothing of substance ever resulted - none of the perpetrators went to jail. Yes, Stevens conviction was thrown out. Unfortunately he could not re-seat Stevens in the Senate.

One would think he’d be pissed now that the FBI-DOJ would come into his court and lie to him again (e.g. that all Brady material was given to the defendant). And if they lied to him, why would they not also lie to and about the defendant. BUT The judge earlier in the case showed personal dislike towards Flynn, even asked the DOJ if they considered trying him for treason. He quickly walked back his comments when he was called out immediately as being prejudiced against the defendant.

But I think the whole lynch pin to why the judge took a detour on his decision about dropping the charges against Flynn is because obozo, a non-party, sent the judge an ex-parte message through the DC media outlet last week by a conveniently “leaked” obozo private call about how dropping charges against Flynn is an attack against the rule of law. This is similar to BJ Clinton visiting Loretta Lynch behind the airport in AZ to “discuss their grandchildren” and shortly thereafter Comey ends the FBI work etc etc. The corruption here is extremely deep, and that’s an understatement.

------------------------------------------------

That's very odd for an expert on the chans to not know about Frederick since he was all over the news last year. Let me introduce you:

So you know "of" or know the "scamming LARPers" personally?

Posobiec, defango (Manny), Browder, Stewart????

Tell us who you know personally. I look forward to being impressed.

Only when they’re Democrats.

All women are important and should be heard - #MeToo - oh wait Biden’s accusers are liars.

All black men are oppressed and need to be heard, racism has no place in this country - Clarence Thomas is an Uncle Tom.

This Maga Coalition/DixieCupUrination vid is a treasure trove of "mind" nuggets of FReeyores like Walter:

Notice "defango" (Manny Chavez) is a chat moderator(wrench emoji) (and close advisor to the "gurus" Adam and Glenn). 

According to Walter and Adam's close friend Jack Posobiec, friends of microchip et al, defango is among the creators of the "LARP":

#DefangoLies Again – Origin Myth #TimePhoneHack

"LARPers gonna’ LARP. Notorious cyber-troll Manuel Chavez III aka Defango aka Fandango is at it again with a new story of the creation of #QAnon, and more evidence that doesn’t stack up to scrutiny."

"Some of the stories Defango has told in the past about Q are that he created it, that Cicada 3301 did, that Microchip and JB and him (Turdbo) did (now expanded to include Spicci), and even that Jack Posobiec did.

Lately Lestat has been pushing the narrative “General Flynn is Q”, for some reason this gang seems to be very intent on attacking Flynn. General Flynn’s new attorney Sidney Powell has retweeted Q content previously. She is a Senior Fellow at the London Center, along with the original Able Danger Tony Shaffer. #govLARPer Robyn Gritz claimed to be one of these too, although her name has still not appeared anywhere on their web site.

Haha, Hafass, you’re still here!

Yeah, I am a supporter of General Flynn. The general follows me on twitter.
Glen is now also a supporter of General Flynn. Adam is happy evidence was found to show he was framed.

I know it’s hard for you because they hosted the creators of the Qult god you worship but it’s a false god.

Browder and Defango created it on 4Chan as a LARP and it was suppose to make people learn to think for themselves not follow the Q grifters to 8Chan and believe all the stupidity and how wrong they are to scam Boomers for money.

Stop worshiping a fake letter god on the internet. LOL!
