The decision this week by the full U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overriding a three-judge panel’s ruling that would have allowed criminal charges against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to be dismissed was flawed, but not unexpected.
Anyone who listened to the hostile questioning by some of the judges on the appellate court during oral arguments could have anticipated the ruling (Snip)
Still, it’s unfathomable that a criminal case against a U.S. citizen has been kept alive for nearly four months after federal prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the case because “continued prosecution … would not serve the interests of justice.”

FTA:
After Attorney General William Barr directed an investigation, the Justice Department asked for the charges against Flynn to be dismissed, because in the department’s view Flynn could not have factually committed the crime to which he pleaded guilty. Questionable conduct also occurred by both Justice Department prosecutors and FBI investigators.
In fact, the bottom line is that Flynn should never have been charged with a crime. Barr acted in the interests of justice in reaching this conclusion and requesting that the charges against Flynn be dismissed.

Do I detect the hand of George Soros?
He isn't satisfied with just John Roberts.

Yes, all this is true.
But truth is no longer any sort of a defense against the leftist mob, including those mobsters who wear the black robes, like Sullivan. Sullivan is a despicable, cowardly, corrupt man.

You don't understand. This is not about Flynn. This is about Obama.
Flynn's release will unleash a trove of documents showing the Obama attempt to stop Trump, by ANY means. This is about the Deep State and Peter Strozk and all the other loons who tried for a coup.
If Sullivan fails, heads will roll. Many heads.
A consummation devoutly to be wished.

We need to begin Impeaching and Removing Federal Judges who don't understand our Constitution. Most professions, e.g. Medical Doctors, who must periodically go before a Medical Board, comprised of peer specialists, who quiz them about various aspects of their profession. A passing grade before the Board allows the Doctor to be "Board Certified," and able to advertise the distinction. Personally, I won't go to any Doctor who is not so certified. Why can't we expect the same from our Judges, who hold our FREEDOM in their hands at times?

So in January Flynn said, “In truth, I never lied. My guilty plea has rankled me throughout this process, and while I allowed myself to succumb to the threats from the government to save my family, I believe I was grossly misled about what really happened.”
He “never lied”....but he did twice under oath. He swore he was under no pressure, and that he was guilty. He pushed aside Judge Sullivan’s offer to retract his plea, and reaffirmed his lies. So let’s impeach Sullivan and raise Flynn to Director of FBI. He’d be the perfect fit.

No wonder the Left likes Harris. She had no problems with keeping innocent men in prison for years rather than let them out. This should not be allowed to stand, and I think the Supremes have been cowardly to a certain extent. Our judicial system is in danger of collapse all around them, and they are still sitting on tradition. Time to think outside the box Supremes, or are you 9 all for an innocent man being hounded as well?
