The Department of Justice requested that Retired General Flynn’s case be dropped. Unfortunately, an anti-Trump judge overlooking his case refuses to take that recommendation. The Flynn petition requests that the case gets dropped and that a new judge gets assigned to address Retired General Flynn’s case.<\/p>\n
The FBI had no real basis to interview General Flynn. Hence, the general’s lying charge didn’t really matter. In addition to opposing the Department of Justice’s motion to dismiss the case, Judge Emmet Sullivan appointed a retired judge to look at the potential for contempt and perjury charges.<\/p>\n
From Newsmax:<\/span><\/p>\n The filing by Gen. Flynn attorney Sidney Powell states, “Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court order the district court immediately to (1) grant the Justice Department’s Motion to Dismiss; (2) vacate its order appointing amicus curiae; and (3) reassign the case to another district judge as to any further proceedings.”<\/p>\n Judge Emmet Sullivan was overseeing the case, opposing the DOJ dismissal of Flynn’s case, and had appointed retired federal Judge John Gleeson to weigh possible contempt and perjury charges.<\/p>\n “Neither the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, nor the district court’s local rules authorize amicus participation in criminal cases,” Powell wrote in Tuesday’s filing. “Prior to issuance of its extraordinary May 12, 2020, order, the district judge adhered scrupulously to the district court’s rules, denying some two dozen attempts by third parties to intervene or file amicus briefs in this very case.”<\/p>\n Powell’s filing cited legal precedent supporting the appeal and acknowledge exculpatory evidence that justified the withdrawing of Flynn’s guilty plea on one count of lying to a federal agent on the matter related to a Trump transition contact with a Russian Amb. Sergey Kislyak.<\/p>\n “Now additional facts have established he was not interviewed for a legitimate purpose, and therefore any statements he made were not ‘material’ under 18 U.S.C. \u00a71001, the government justly believes that he is not guilty of any crime,” Powell wrote.<\/p>\n Handwritten notes declassified by the DOJ revealed alleged actions by FBI agents to either get Gen. Flynn to admit violating the Logan Act, pin him down for a “lie,” or get him fired as Trump’s first national security adviser early in January 2017 before President Trump’s inauguration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n You could read the rest of this Newsmax article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
