Obama was a crony of his AG.....
Simple question to Tribe and his ilk....you seriously want us to believe that never before have convictions been overturned or confessions thrown out because either it was found out that evidence was illegally obtained or the defendant was coerced ???
The same Judge Sullivan went ballistic on the DOJ in the Ted Stevens case, including appointing a special prosecutor.

Obama was a crony of his AG.....
How do you force somebody to prosecute a case he doesn’t want to prosecute? Are we living in a Kafka novel?
This opinion that Flynn deserved what he got... and the judge who heard the evidence...
If you are a pelosi or an obama... if you are that biased and that far gone in fairness... then you do think Flynn “lied and no excuses” also, no sense.
From beginning to today... the deep state... the high positioned deep state... pulled every knot and hole to get rid of Trump. They held nothing back and broke every rule of law and Constitution... if you consider that just fine.. then you think Flynn got what he deserved... by hook or by crook... he was caught up in their lies and so be it... that is a pelosi or a barry...
If you consider all who were caught in the deep state trap and lost everything in the mess they created to get rid of Trump.. if you think it was okay for the deep state to do what they did... then you are nuts in the highest degree.. you are biased and you are unfit to live in the land of the free!
Serious... seriously, are you serious?
Tribe does not really care about this case.
What really bothers him is that the same underlying evidence in support of dismissal is also leading a path to the indictment of his buddies including his BFF Obama.
“Serious” Federal crime? He “lied” to two corrupt FBI agents. And the conversation had nothing to do with any crime. This case should have been tossed months ago. Why are these hacks so afraid of Flynn?
Tribe wants to pretend, and with pretense lie to the public, that it is unheard for the DOJ to seek dismissal of a case between the trial and the sentencing. Though rare, it is not without precedents, and as always develops from new insights about the trial from evidence that was hidden or not known during the trial. Such is the case with the trial of Michael Flynn.
The DOJ entered into a corrupt relationship with Flynn’s original attorneys, coercing them to browbeat their defendant into pleading guilty lest the DOJ start going after the defendant’s son. All the while the DOJ was sitting on, knowledgeable of and not giving the defendant’s attorneys evidence they possessed that makes lies of the DOJ accusations against the defendant.
Due to poor and corrupted original legal representation, it took the perseverance of Flynn’s new legal counsel to demand, and eventually obtain evidence the DOJ had been holding out all along. The DOJ prosecutors’ misconduct revealed in the new evidence is the kind of thing that has led in the past to the DOJ itself seeking to have the charges dismissed.
The fact that the Flynn trial is at the midpoint between trial and sentencing doe not change that.
I remember. This self-promoting garbage is a waste of skin.
Name me an AG post war that has done anything to rock the boat with their own POTUS. I think you will come up with no one. Right or wrong, the AG pulls the party line. Was no different under Obama, Bush, Clinton, and I am sure way back before Kennedy.
Tribe is wanting the Judge to usurp the prosecutorial duties of the Department of Justice. He’s calling on the judge to become the executive department as well as the judiciary department.
When the prosecutor determines that their case in chief has fallen apart, it is indeed in order for them to withdraw it, at any point, including after plea, sentencing, at any time. Just because the judge has accepted a negotiated settlement between parties does not mean that it is final. Tribe is all wet. He wants to serve his LAW cake and have the innocent eat it too, because he is more interested in process than justice.
Liberal Professors Launch Campaign To Pack Supreme Court After Kavanaugh Confirmation

Less than a month after the confirmation of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh entrenched a 5-4 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, leading law professors are urging Democrats to expand the size of all of the nation’s federal courts and pack them with liberals. Far-left Harvard professors Mark Tushnet and Laurence Tribe are lending their support to the so-called “1.20.21 Project,” which was launched by political science professor Aaron Belkin on Wednesday to counter “Republican obstruction, theft and procedural abuse” of the federal judiciary. That rhetoric reflects the professors’ apparent surprise after Democrats lost the 2016 presidential election, which they had...
With the super corrupt FBI as presently constituted, everybody should be encouraged to lie to the FBI, or even better, not talk to them at all.
Lying to the FBI should not even be a crime. The law that says it's a crime cannot be constitutional. You are not under oath, so you cannot be guilty of perjury.
Ever heard of confession under duress?
And anyone studying the facts would also know it was the truth, but for the "admitted lies" portion. Tribe is willfully clueless or worse.
Tribe’s over simplification of the issues deserves an award.
The following is from a document that liberals, progressives, and Democrats rarely read, accept, or understand; the US Constitution,
Section 2. Judicial Power and Jurisdiction
Clause 1. Cases and Controversies; Grants of Jurisdiction
The Judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; to CONTROVERSIES TO WHICH THE UNITED STATES SHALL BE A PARTY;—to Controversies between two or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Land under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
Note the use of the word, CONTROVERSY. Both the US DOJ and Flynn’s defense are in agreement. There is no longer a controversy. The constitution requires the dismissal of the charges and the vacating of Flynn’s guilty plea.
I wish this guy would go away.
Constitutional Law to Tribey is CON Law
