Certainly understand and feel your frustration FRiend.

We do however have recourse and we are winning through prayer and President Trump.

Let’s not surrender that. Let’s double our efforts and let elected representatives in DC and at the state level know we demand better and stronger penalties for intel interference in our country’s elections.

The “just like Watergate” scandal was the Obama administration’s politicized abuse of power, attempting to produce an internal coup based on what they knew was a hoax - which it’s holdover DOJ officials continued right into the early days of the Trump administration.

Please go to your altar and pray to your false letter god and “Trust Wray.”

Adults are trying to have a real discussion.

-- The problem is the politicization of Judge Sullivan's court is only one more step in a long and sorry journey toward the politicization of our entire court system. --

Not so much a step as a point of evidence. The courts are highly political, and have been so for decades. Since at least FDR court-packing threat.

The legal process is pretty much outcome first, reasoning second. There are sufficient precedents (and few people check if they really stand for the proposition claimed) to justify any outcome the judge or appellate panel chooses.

“You are what we thought you were.”

You won’t find me morning drinking and kneeling at the false god of a letter in the alphabet praying before a “Trust Wray” statue.

Definitely not. “Trusty the Plan.” LMAO!

I expect this Judge to sentence Flynn.

Absent DOJ prosecution (People of the United States of America), he is all out of options. Powell nipped any Special Prosecutor in the bud in her motion.

This derp lop is just trying to muddy up the DOJ, Flynn, and Trump before he dismisses with a bunch of derp state propaganda submitted as some kind of faux legalism.

Probly not, but I bet I will find you kneeling before something and drinking.

If you catch my drift.

This Judge has been told what to do and how to do it. The issues before him and the law are the least of his concerns. Must tow the RAT line.

Somebody has to play powerful word games though.

What has Flynn pled to after the prosecutor says “no crime?” Assuming for sake of argument Flynn lied, that lie is not material, so there is no crime.

The plea is “guilty to the information” (there was no indictment). Okay, fine, but the information is fatally flawed. The facts in the case don’t support a finding of materially false statement. That’s what the Gov’t Motion to Dismiss lays out, with facts and evidence.

My thoughts too. How do you force them to prosecute?

Are you seriously discouraging FReepers from putting pressure on the judge while at the same time the derps are pressuring him?

I think you're a dirty spy for the bad guys.

Anti-Q, Anti-Flubro, Anti-Flynn. You're on the wrong side of every issue. But you support Trump. Sure you do.

Something about you reeks, shillbot.

Nope, I am not a worshipper of stupid grifters who claim an alphabet letter is worthy of worship.

No matter how wrong those people calling themselves a letter are, I won’t bow.

But hey, “Trust Wray.”

Correct. The more the facts come out the more this becomes an issue in the November election. Democrats are not going to enjoy seeing the Gestapo tactics of Comey and Obamas DOJ. They will look like fools. The DNC media does not want to cover this now, they will be forced to.
