Good for Joe. He should take full credit for anything that helped get Flynn out of government.

i doubt they'd do anything. same reason trump's DOJ never went after hillary. started off a new regime by going after political rivals is not a good look

It's also not a good look for outgoing regimes.

So they justified it by saying there was irreparable harm. Not to Flynn though, but to the Executive Branch, because evidently being asked to explain their deliberations leading to the motion to dismiss is apparently irreparable harm to them. Interesting.

What's perhaps concerning is not this particular case itself, but setting a precedent for dismissals on shaky grounds. If the judiciary can't check potential prosecutorial corruption, nobody else realistically can.

Also, interesting on the dissent that this result might cause a district court split, in which case this might be something the SCOTUS needs to address at some point.

i dont know that it is the judiciary's role to check against that type of corruption, though, even if it would have been "convenient" here

there’s bump material for years in this thread

If the judiciary can't check potential prosecutorial corruption

judiciary has been deeply corrupted by Trash/Bar/Leo by putting extreme righting ideologues like Rao on the Federal benches

Who's gonna check on judicial corruption?

This thread is far from being finished. Now that Flynn’s cleared his case no longer stands in the way of any other investigations. The party is now starting.

Get ready for six months of TSA nothingburgers.

Barr will shutdown / block all investigations, and block everybody he can from testifying in the House.

Barr appointed the USAO’s investigating, he’s not going to block them.

Who would, though? Congress through impeachment?

that's one. could also argue elections if you think the executive is corrupt. dont see where the cons ution grants that sort of power to the courts

[boutons_deux]

Barr will certainly not demand en banc review.

MIA OP of the longest paged nothingburger thread in the history of Spurstalk

[ChumpDumper]

TSA still not accepting the simple truth of the OP

It's not a good look but it's too bad to simply ignore.

Its almost like Trump getting cleared by a Republican Majority.
You can vote it out, but the scar is obvious. He is a criminal. He did not even tell the president he had worked for a foreign government.
He plead guilty once, twice, because they with held food and water...
Stone has already admitted he is a liar and criminal for the good guys.

Its coming back in 2020. A reminder will emerge. I just hope its not the wrong type of reminder

"appears" and "is" are not synonymous...
