READ: Watergate prosecutors' request to file opinion in Flynn case
The Hill ^ | 05 13 2020 | Staff

Posted on 05/13/2020 7:48:03 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sixteen former Watergate prosecutors this week asked to file a friend-of-the-court brief weighing in on the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

"The Watergate Prosecutors ... are uniquely suited to help ensure a fair presentation of the issues raised by the government’s motion" to dismiss the case, the group's request states.

Flynn's attorneys oppose the request.

The group's motion was temporarily denied by the judge, who will determine whether to grant a request by the Department of Justice to drop charges against Flynn.

I say let them file it, provided they file it without any help. In fact, they have to turn on the computer, find their brief, open it in Word, convert their document to a pdf, log into the court’s system, upload it, basically do the whole thing by themselves. That would be hilarious.

Since when do people get to weigh in on a DROPPED CASE??

Especially a case where THE GOVERNMENT is corrupt.

DemocRATs should be throat punched each and every time that they dare to mention our Constitution.

This is truly unbelievable. That outside civilians get to weigh in on the punishment or continuation of a criminal proceedings against another individual citizen, provides just one more winning issue to appeal.

Judge Sullivan is a communist Democratic piece of shi!. One of the first things in Trumps second term is to impeach this rat face fool.

Go to The Conservative Treehouse and scroll down to see Sydney Powell’s brilliant response to this crap.

Wow, the chutzpah is strong! They are the LAST people on earth to "ensure a fair presentation of the issues." They railroaded a fine man out of the presidency over nothing.

They need to mind their own business. Watergate was SO long ago that by now the Left has changed the narrative.

Sullivan is looking for any excuse to keep the guilty plea and sentence Flynn.

That should apply to everyone who opposes upholding the natural born citizen requirement, regardless of what jersey they are wearing.

Why are these discredited legal dinosaurs given any access to a current criminal case? This judge should be investigated and his bank account examined.

Amazing that I have never heard of this group over the last 45 years. I have never seen them file or release any statement on court cases in that time. Apparently since Trump was elected they came to the surface.

I find nothing else over the past 45 years. No statements against Obama, Bush or Clinton. We all know that there were so many issues these champions of justice could have injected their group into with the three former Presidents. But NO, NOTHING until the Trump Impeachment and now General Flynn.

In what can only be considered as an “Overt Act in Furtherance of a Seditious Conspiracy to Overthrow United States Presidency”, Let them File it then ARREST AND PROSECUTE THEM!!!

"This is truly unbelievable."

Reaching all the way back to Watergate.

The people behind the curtain don't want the curtain pulled back.

That was quick. Andrew Weissmann probably worked on it for weeks in case of need, and found a group of elderly statesman of the Dem persuasion to provide their John Hancocks.

Thanks for the tip. I was going to spend $.10 per page to pull this up on Pacer. There is just no way it can be allowed without complete corruption of the process, so ... it might be allowed. The opposition is pretty strong. Watergate has no relevance to current events. Their 15 minutes of fame expired almost half a century ago.

This is one rotten bunch of people - Jill Wine-Banks, Lacovara, Ben-veniste, all cut from the same cloth, all involved in Democratic politics. You wouldn’t hear a peep out of this bunch is its anyone else; instead, they are trying to force the prosecution of a man harassed by crooks in high places, a corrupt FBI, using phonied documents, lies submitted to the court, and an orchestrated pattern of attack using our taxpayer resources. They are truly beyond disgusting.
