Attorney General William Barr's decision to drop the "lying to the FBI" charges against Gen. Michael Flynn has infuriated Judge Emmett Sullivan. The Judge is now soliciting ideas from anyone who wants to suggest an alternate charge for which the General can be punished.
Former Judge John Gleeson suggested that "Flynn should be charged with perjury for falsely pleading guilty to lying to the FBI. There is no evidence that Flynn committed any crime. Consequently, his admission of guilt is clearly perjury. Judge Sullivan should find him guilty of perjury and sentence him to prison."
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) suggested that "Flynn's original guilty plea should stand. Just because the Mueller team had no evidence doesn't change the fact that Flynn originally folded to their bluff that they would go after his son. Once you fold, it doesn't matter that you folded to a 'nothing hand.' He had his chance to call their bluff, but didn't. For losing his nerve he deserves to lose the case and go to jail."
Former Vice-President Joe Biden suggested that "Flynn should be found guilty of treason. Twenty-eight members of the Obama Administration demanded that Flynn be unmasked. This alone is pretty persuasive evidence that he is a bad dude. I mean, if 28 of the nation's finest leaders were all suspicious of the guy there has to be smoke where there's a fire like that. We can't afford to let him skate on the technically that the FBI and Mueller were unable to find evidence of his guilt. If we do, we risk millions more dying."
In related news, in an appearance on Snapchat's "Good Luck America" daily political show, Biden laughed off host Peter Hamby's question about how he will fight back against the "Dementia Joe" meme that is trending on social media, calling it "ridiculous. As you can see from my grin, my teeth are in great shape."

Flynn will appeal and the government will refuse to prosecute.
“if 28 of the nation’s finest leaders(?) were all suspicious of the guy” I doubt the finest leaders were the ones suspicious of Flynn. I rather think it may been some of the finest losers. Democrats seem to have a strange concept of what constitutes a leader.
