Judge appointed a private attorney, retired judge, to continue prosecution of Trump's former National Security Advisor
It was a shocker on Wednesday afternoon. In the political persecution of General Michael Flynn, Judge Emett Sullivan launched new criminal charges against Flynn under his own authority. President Trump must stop this further politicization by pardoning Michael Flynn of these new charges of contempt of court.
To recap, which matters, the charges against Flynn were withdrawn on May 7, 2020. The new interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Timothy Shea filed a motion to dismiss the case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Technically, Judge Emett Sullivan could decide whether to grant the motion to dismiss or not. This is especially complicated because Flynn already pled guilty, and the next step would be sentencing by the judge. However, when the Department of Justice says it will not prosecute, will not defend the case on appeal, and specifically put on the public record how the prosecution has no merit, it leaves the judge with little room to proceed.
Presented with a litany of prosecutorial abuse, Judge Sullivan should welcome the dismissal. Normally a judge would demand to know how the prior prosecutors committed such egregious assaults on the rule of law.
Late on May 13, Judge Sullivan issued an order appointing a retired judge to act as prosecutor to prosecute Flynn for contempt of court under Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Instead of demanding that the FBI officers and DoJ officials who flagrantly lied be held accountable, Judge Sullivan wants to put Flynn in jail for up to 5 years for previously pleading guilty.

Flynn was blackmailed into pleading guilty when the corrupt DoJ threatened to prosecute Flynn’s son. Unfortunately, these abusive tactics have come to be accepted as normal. Our nation cannot survive unless we reject these tyrannical and fascist methods. If the government can coerce innocent defendants and then pretend they voluntarily pled guilty, there is no due process.
Michael Flynn was interviewed by FBI agents on January 24, 2017, as the new National Security Advisor for the incoming Trump Administration. Falsely presenting themselves as colleagues discussing plans for standing up the new Administration, the FBI agents were in fact trying to trap Flynn in a perjury trap.
All the many details of the extreme corruption within the Obama Administration’s FBI and Department of Justice has been extensively presented elsewhere and would not fit here. But it is clear as Senator Chuck Grassley explained, including on Fox News, “And if he got to be national security adviser for President Trump, he’d know where the bodies are buried and he would make big changes.”
Joe DiGenova explains how the Obama team’s coup d’etat against the incoming President Trump was in great danger. Flynn with his knowledge of the intelligence community would have exposed and stopped the phony Russia hoax and Deep State intrigues before it got rolling.

False flag. Trump doesn’t need to pardon Flynn. Flynn’s should appeal, and when the appeal plays out, (which shouldn’t take long because that matter has been decided both at the district level and Supreme Court level,) Sullivan will be forced to drop the charges.
No. That’s exactly whatLeftists want so they can spin the narrative that he’d have been convicted but Trump pardoned him.....no doubt to cover his tracks and just nevermind that the Mueller report showed there were no tracks to cover.
The Judges’ shenanigans will amount to nothing. There is Supreme Court precedent on this already.
Bammy has his minions still persecuting Flynn.
The first question I have is whether a President could even pardon for contempt of court. It’s not a violation of the law per se. It is disrespect for the court’s processes. Contempt of court for lying is NOT the same as a conviction for violating a statute against perjury.
He clearly is. And that is wrong. He is supposed to be a neutral arbitor between the two sides who are now in agreement that the case should be dismissed.
No pardon. Flynn is not guilty. A pardon would suggest he did something wrong. He needs to be fully exonerated.
We are looking like a 3rd world country with all of this going on.
Our enemies are paying attention.
Really pushing it to say we are still a republic.
I’d like to believe we are and not an oligarchy
Yes.
Probably -per Obama- wants to turn this into an election talking point.
“TRUMP PARDONS TRAITOR” or some lying crap like that.
I cannot wait until obama and all of his ilk are held accountable for heir anti-American TREASONOUS acts.
Trump needs to stay out and let this run its course, IMO. I classify this as giving the judge enough rope to hang himself.
Team Obama will continue until they are jailed for the crimes they have committed.
“Judge” Sulivan needs to be removed from the bench (Impeached), stripped of his license to practice law, and then fully prosecuted for his obvious and blatant abuse of power.
Lt. Gen. Flynn need to be made whole and then become part of the Trump Administration in a capacity where he can be most effective. Director of National Security or Director of the FBI would work in either case.
No, let it play out.
This judge will get slapped down by superior courts.
The whole play is to force a pardon.
This is clickbait cr@p. Who ever heard of “National File”?
I don’t agreeIng needs to be completely exonerated if President Trump pardons him the media will have a field day,hammering him for abandoning the rule of law and everything else,
I tried to open it and my firewall blocked it.
I think Sullivan is hoping Trump pardons Flynn. This judge shit in the bed let him clean it.
WHY? Pardon the innocent?
Flynn will be exonerated. The Deep State is just trying to force Trump to pardon Flynn so they can proclaim loud and clear through their mainstream media megaphones “PARDONED NOT EXONERATED!!!!”
No. Do NOT pardon Flynn. Playing right into their hands.
Better if his lawyer appeals, if that’s possible.
We need an outright win.
