‘Never Seen Anything Like This’: Experts Question Dropping of Flynn Prosecution
NYT ^ | May 7, 2020 | Charlie Savage

Posted on 05/08/2020 6:04:24 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s decision to drop the criminal case against Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, even though he had twice pleaded guilty to lying to investigators, was extraordinary and had no obvious precedent, a range of criminal law specialists said on Thursday.

“I’ve been practicing for more time than I care to admit and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Julie O’Sullivan, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches criminal law at Georgetown University.

The move is the latest in a series that the department, under Attorney General William P. Barr, has taken to undermine and dismantle the work of the investigators and prosecutors who scrutinized Russia’s 2016 election interference operation and its links to people associated with the Trump campaign.

Put Comey and McCabe in Prison so they’ll REALLY have something to squawk about.

Mark Levin: Flynn Documents Are “Barack Obama’s Blue Dress” Without The DNA

RCP video ^ | 5-8-2020 | Ian Schwartz

Mark Levin railed against intelligence agencies and Department of Justice abuses during the Obama era on Thursday’s broadcast of FOX News’ ‘Hannity.’ Levin said Obama worked with the FBI and intel agencies, knew everything about the counterintelligence program targetting the Trump campaign, and yet he is the one man that was never questioned about the Russia-Flynn probe.

(snip)

“This is Barack Obama’s blue dress,” Levin said. “That’s what that is without the DNA on it. Let me explain what I mean. We are supposed to believe that during the Obama administration, the FBI went rogue, the Department of Justice went rogue, the CIA went rogue, the DNI went rogue, the NSC went rogue.”

“I can tell you that you’re not going to go to the FISA court going after a Trump surrogate without letting the president of the United States know,” he said. “You’re not going to send spies in the opposition campaign without giving the president a heads up. You’re not going to mess around with a dossier like they did without the president of the United States knowing about the dossier.”

“The one man who is never questioned about this by any reporter at any time or any investigative organization is Barack Obama,” Levin added.

He said President Trump deserves a “huge apology” from the Obama administration and Democrats. Levin called the president the victim of spying and a victim of the FISA court. He called it “massive coverup” the “greatest scandal in American history.”

How can a man who has had a case against him dropped be sentenced for a crime he legally speaking never committed?

We may well find the answer to that question. Could be fun.

So apparently clear what the scumedia and the political rat class is all about, more so because we have been quarentined in our homes for over a month and those with no time to pay are paying attention and are as mad as hell. The rest are still hopelessly mentally ill

The documentation explains it all with perfect clarity. Heads will roll.

Julie O’Sullivan, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches *criminal law* at Georgetown University.

She needs to give that job up she’s out of her element.

Someone posted on another thread that Flynn had been a democrat so who knows how conservative he is or was.

A rogue FBI also existed under Nixon. Its Deputy was “Deep Throat”.

I said it on another thread -

From the hysteria from the Leftsphere in light of DoJ dropping charges against Gen. Flynn, there is only one conclusion.

There is NO HOPE of ever reconciliation with The Left. They’ve chosen to be TWANLOCs, dead set on enslaving the country and their fellow countrymen. THEY set the rules and expect plebs to follow like obedient sheep.

They Want US to submit. Completely. At Any Cost.

“Experts”

If a lawyer can’t see the dirtiness of that whole operation the dishonesty of the cops the entrapment of Flynn, then they are far from “experts”
