READ: DOJ Hits Back In Flynn Case At Accusations Of Its Own Corruption [View all]

The Justice Department responded to a blistering critique of its conduct in the Michael Flynn case on Wednesday, calling its decision to drop charges against the former national security adviser an “unreviewable exercise of prosecutorial discretion.”


Prosecutors submitted the filing to U.S. District Judge Emmett Sullivan in Washington, who appointed former U.S. District Judge John Gleeson to examine the Justice Department’s conduct in the case.

Sullivan appointed Gleeson to determine whether Flynn should be prosecuted for criminal contempt of court, and to argue against the Justice Department’s unprecedented motion to dismiss charges.

The DOJ held back in the filing from arguing that Gleeson’s appointment itself was unconstitutional, and instead argued that the Constitution forbids Sullivan from doing anything other than granting the motion to dismiss the charges.
