Donald Trump gets his guy Attorney General Barr to do what he wants….
And spare a pardon in the media…
Sound familiar?
We are gonna see more and more of this political power stuff before the November election as one would assume Trump & Co. take care of business in case Trump loses his job come next year….
This a further effort by Trump to throw egg in Robert Mueller’s face for going after him and his buddies…Trump continues to kick the FBI when ever he can gets chance…
Folks?
Donald J. Trump won’t be President forever…
In court documents filed Thursday, the Justice Department said “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information… the government has concluded that [Flynn’s interview by the FBI] was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn” and that the interview on January 24, 2017 was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.”
Flynn was one of the first and highest-ranking Trump aides to cooperate and be convicted in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He pleaded guilty in December 2017 to making false statements about his Russian contacts during the Trump presidential transition….
Note…
The judge COULD still sentence Flynn to jail , by not accepted the Justice Dept.’s action…
…
And Trump’s Justice Dept. wants The Mueller reports grand jury info keep under wraps?
Hmmmmm?
Solicitor General Noel Francisco told the Supreme Court on Thursday that if it does not put the order on hold, “the government will have to disclose those materials on May 11, 2020, which would irrevocably lift their secrecy and possibly frustrate the government’s ability to seek further review.”…

So much for the party of “law and order”
Maybe the judge won’t go with this and make’m pardon the guy?
He lied.Got caught. Pled Guilty
Now, usually on a guilty plea,the Judge will ask the following question ot a variation thereof:” And you are pleading Guilty because you are,in fact, Guilty,is that correct?”
And the defendant must answer affirmatively before such plea is accepted.
I mean I didn’t think the guy should go to jail but this patently political dismissal changes nothing in my mind.
He will do ok though.Probably give some speeches to “conservative” groups?Make a little money.
Wasn’t Flynn being considered for VP in 2016?
The way Trump was gushing about him I wonder if he might bump Pence and putt Flynn on.
Very unlikely, but with this President you never know,
Could the judge NOT accept the Barr dropping of the charges Jack?
Technically
Highly Unlikely though
I thought so….
Thanks
