The Republicans are wimps. Where is Mitch McConnell??!,
They just sit back and let the liberals run the courts, the media, our education system, social media, and countless taxpayer hoax investigations and subpoenas.
Have the Rs served even ONE subpoena in the last decade????M
Bohner allowed a Subpoena against Eric Holder.
Paul Ryan refused to allow any Subpoenas when he was Speaker.
I don't know of McConnell issuing any, but I've not researched it.
It's not that they are "wimps" - it's that they are Estabishment Elite UniParty.
Eric “I’m Obama’s wingman” Holder will likely be going first
interesting description. Obama certainly picked Holder as his wingman. that's a fact.
what is even more important to know about Holder is that back in the Clinton days, the man worked really hard to get terrorists who killed people pardons.....
and Obama, knowing the immoral and evil of the man picked him for a wingman.
other than George Soros there isn't a more evil person in America than Holder... and his wingman...
Flynn's original defense?? You mean Eric Holder's Law firm, Covington - I still can't figure out why he went with a slime ball like Holder for a defense. He almost deserves prison for stupidity.
I can't wait to see how Sullivan's latest stunt goes - it's going to be fun to watch.
He went through a few lawyers, when it comes to crime many from both sides choose the best law firms regardless of affiliation.
The only stunt was the one by Barr but I will let someone with a legal background weigh in on the friend of the court brief. It will be interesting to see what happens to Flynn's other indictments which they dropped because of his plea.
We are in very new territory with this case with the DOJ dropping a case after a conviction. The main purpose of the friends of the court briefings aren't for people to speak favorably of Flynn, its to invite arguments over the DOJ dropping the case.
Normally the DOJ drops a case when new information is brought to light instead all we have is Barr just inventing a legal argument to drop the case for which they already had a conviction. You can bet that prior prosecutors are going provide plenty and Flynn's lawyers will just provide the same tired defense.
This sure seems like a distraction by Trump to deflect from his handling of the pandemic, all this for a few months when he is going to pardon Flynn anyway. He could have been out of jail last year and back in business taking money from Russia and Turkey or working for Giuliani.
Flynn's team worried that the judge is creating legal arguments, that's hysterical.
Now you're all over the place, lets stick to Barr's legal argument for dropping the case which includes none of the issues you just created rather than an emotional response.
AG Barr dropped the case on Flynn AFTER Jeffrey B. Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri who was brought in by Attorney General William Barr to review the Flynn prosecution in February recommended it.
It was on Jensen's recommendation that Barr authorized federal attorneys in Washington last week to move to dismiss the charges against Flynn.
The reason AG Barr assigned Jensen to review the case was because of the variety of FOIA cases brought by different individuals revealed more evidence. Jensen has now been assigned (with 4 more US Attorneys) to work with Durham.
You have to admit - it's pretty "hysterical" for Sullivan to request these Amicus briefs when the US Supreme Court ruled unanimously just last week that to do that is clearly Un-Constitutional.
I'm laughing.
Trump is the most incompetent and unqualified POTUS we’ve ever had. So obviously he can’t do detailed policy work himself.
Trumpists are suffering from a severe case of misplaced trust.
There's no trust. Just knowledge that Trump is infinitely better than the alternative. Why can't you grasp that? Your side is evil. There's no level of "incompetence" that could make Trump less appealing than the alternative.
We aren't dealing with normal !!! We are dealing with "Obamagate" and the persecution of Gen. Flynn is one element of that !!! There was nothing normal about this from the beginning !!!
Its not normal for the outgoing admin. to spy and persecute the incoming admin. !!! This should never happen !!! There has to be accountability or what should never happen will happen again !!! Nothing to deter this kind of despicable behavior in the future !!!
Interestingly, the precedent people keep talking about is the case of Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska. Robert Mueller announced that Stevens had committed a crime right before the election, and because of Mueller's election interference Stevens's opponent won. (Ultimately, this may have made the difference in the passage of Obamacare.) Mueller railroaded Stevens and convicted him a week before election day in 2008. Then when the Obama administration took over a few months later, Eric Holder dismissed the case despite the conviction.

I see no indication that Jensen found new information or providing a recommendation nor did he sign off on dropping the case against Flynn. Amicus briefs are unconstitutional in a case that was dropped by the DOJ after a conviction, clearly?
