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.
Pretty clear that there was a good reason for dropping the conviction, not the case here.
Quote:
Mr. Holder announced this week that he would ask a judge to drop all charges against Mr. Stevens, a Republican, because of prosecutorial misconduct. Mr. Holder should ensure that the Justice Department gets to the bottom of what went wrong and subject other cases that have raised red flags to similar scrutiny.
Mr. Stevens was convicted of making false statements on Senate disclosure forms to hide an estimated $250,000 in home renovations and gifts, many from Bill Allen, an old friend with close ties to his state’s oil industry. The Justice Department says that prosecutors failed to turn over to the defense notes from an interview with Mr. Allen, a prime witness in the case, which conflicted with parts of his trial testimony.
Prosecutors are legally required to turn over evidence in their possession that would help a defendant prove his innocence. This revelation is only the latest in a series of instances in which Mr. Stevens’s prosecutors appear to have acted wrongly.
This case involves what that case involved -- plus so much more!
The DOJ never turned over the notes of their interview with Flynn.And there's too much other stuff they withheld for me to even start on it.
Sounds like you have secret information. Please share since you are obviously an insider.
"We did not spy," he told reporters as he stretched for his morning yoga class. "We just observed and reported secretly without the subject's knowledge or consent."
"See, I've never considered that spying," he added as he formed the "downward dog" pose. "That's just kind of secret watching. It's definitely not the same thing. When you spy, you watch someone without their knowledge. When you secret-watch, you just kind of secretly watch them."
Flynn was a career public servant who had a retirement plan. not exactly a super rich business class guy.
NOW Flynn is broke because Obama and his scumteam broke him.
What is clear is there was zero reason for the FBI to do the interview where they decided he lied....AFTER they decided he didn't lie.
No underlying crime. No predicate for investigation. Just a chance to hang a guy that Obama wanted hung.
In the end, his high paid lawyers got him screwed. then he got a lawyer who did the real work for nothing.
what makes me sad is you are defending this action by the political players who went after a guy with no underlying criminal act.
Flynn was a millionaire from his lobbying work for Turkey and other countries, his speaking engagements for the Russian Times and his pension as a 3 star general. Proper representation was never the issue.
Yes he finally got good representation, William Barr.
