Donald Trump IS , with his trusty assistant Attorney general Barr working to undo the American justice system from the highest levels…
Angry for being caught and called out with his illegal efforts to get and keep the American Presidency?
We have all stood by as Barr and others enabled Trump to go after and fire anyone who called him out…Be it Attorney General;’s, Justice Dept. lawyers , Investigators, FBI people, Intelligence people, Inspector Generals and even his ex-lawyers and friend’s…
What is remarkable is?
Donald Trump doesn’t care and Americans are powerless to do anything about this….
Inside stories from those who worked with and for Trump haven’t changed things…
Judges are afraid to rule against an sitting American President,,,
Instead they find ways too duck rolling against him, for fear that Trump appointed and sympathetic higher judges will just rubber stamp Trump’s actions…
And with this continued effort smash away any decent?
40% of America and US Senate Republicans will do almost anything to keep the guy in office….
We worried about Trump’s affection for authoritarian politics
We had it right…
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.
The case against Mr. Flynn for lying to the F.B.I. about his conversations with the Russian ambassador was brought by the office of the former special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III. It had become a political cause for Mr. Trump and his supporters, and the president had signaled that he was considering a pardon once Mr. Flynn was sentenced. But Mr. Barr instead abruptly short-circuited the case…

A range of former prosecutors struggled to point to any previous instance in which the Justice Department had abandoned its own case after obtaining a guilty plea. They portrayed the justification Mr. Shea pointed to — that it would be difficult to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the lies were material — as dubious.
“A pardon would have been a lot more honest,” said Samuel Buell, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches criminal law at Duke University….

So Mike Pence says he would “welcome” Mike Flynn back?
I mean even assuming ,without believing ,that what Flynn did doesn’t rise to a criminal offense,it certainly reveals an extreme lack of prudence, judgment and basic honesty.
Why would anybody want him “back?”
Apparently ,in the Trump Administration,it doesn’t matter what you do or say as long as you don’t get a criminal conviction out of it.

I think Mike is trying to brown nose his Boss…
The guy pled guilty….
But it don’t matter
Actually makes Flynn a ‘good guy’ to Trump & Co
