https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/11/court-corrupt-doj-drop-michael-flynn-case-412555In an unsparing, 30-page brief, John Gleeson, tapped by Sullivan to argue against the dismissal of the case, suggests that the Justice Departments arguments for letting Flynn off the hook conflict with its positions in other cases and even in earlier rounds of the Flynn case itself and therefore can only be chalked up to Trumps pressure campaign.
There is clear evidence that this motion reflects a corrupt and politically motivated favor unworthy of our justice system, wrote Gleeson, a former federal judge in Manhattan who was appointed by President Bill Clinton. ( bolding mine )
Gleeson, acting as an "amicus" or friend-of-the-court, also faulted the Justice Department for not grappling in any way in its brief with Trump's numerous statements blasting the criminal case and their potential impact on the decisions of prosecutors and their bosses.

An organization that ran drugs from Columbia into Los Angeles to buy small arms for the Contras who formed death squads for any opposition including a group of Catholic nuns.
George H Bush pardoned him and all the other criminals that Reagan allowed to run his administration.
I just don't understand why Reagan is lionized by the public at large when his administration is third in corruption, behind Nixon and Trump and 8 times that of Bill Clinton.
