READ: Flynn Rages At Ex-Judge Appointed To Oppose Dismissal Of His Case

In response to the allegations made by a former federal judge about the Justice Department’s dropping of his case, former National Michael Flynn went on an indignant tear against the decision to appoint the former judge to oppose the dismissal.


He said that the arguments made by retired U.S. District Judge John Gleeson were “an affront to the Rule of Law and a raging insult to the citizens of this country who see the abject corruption in this assassination by political prosecution of General Flynn.”

As for U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, the judge presiding over Flynn’s case, Flynn said Sullivan had “exuviated any appearance of neutrality” by appointing Gleeson to make “these scurrilous arguments.”

Flynn argued that Sullivan had no choice but to immediately dismiss Flynn’s case. He said that delaying the dismissal so that Gleeson could argue against it was a “clear impermissible violation of the separation of powers,” while describing Sullivan’s choice of Gleeson in particular as “appalling.”

If you don't want to get prosecuted, quit committing crimes.
See how easy this is, Mikey?

Remember when you admitted you lied to the FBI? And do you remember when Trump admitted you lied to the FBI?

And somehow we're supposed to think a gross miscarriage of justice has taken place? Because you're having conniptions?

The only gross miscarriage of justice is that you're not dropping your last cigarette as the firing squad lines up its shots.

Getting out of the plea leaves his son in jeopardy.

Unless, you know, Barr's DOJ made a promise to not charge son as a political favor. Ya think?

Better get that in writing. And remember, without a blanket pardon, Biden's DOJ can go after you for all your other crimes that are no doubt out there.
