AG Barr Appointed Outside Prosecutor to Review Case against Michael Flynn

Attorney General William Barr has installed an outside prosecutor to conduct a review of the criminal case against former Trump adviser Michael Flynn, the New York Times reported on Friday.

In addition, Barr has appointed prosecutors to review a number of other politically sensitive cases, none of which were named by the Times. These prosecutors have been interviewing line prosecutors on investigative decisions and the reasons behind them.

A prosecutor from the office of the U.S. attorney in St. Louis, Mo. is handling the Flynn case, while prosecutors from the office of Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen are taking up other cases.

Flynn, who was convicted of lying to investigators as part of the Mueller probe, has in recent months attempted to withdraw his original guilty plea. In December Judge Emmett Sullivan rejected Flynn’s attempts, although the former adviser has continued to proclaim his innocence.

Maybe he deserves a medal of some kind?

the prosecutors to agree to withdraw the plea, or dismiss the case outright.

A topic for the House to quiz that whore Barr on in March.

Why isn't the supervisory structure of the USAtty's office and the judge enough oversight to insure a good case General Barr?

Of course Flynn has can appeal and get a reviewing court on issues of law.

Still not enough protections and check in the system because?
