He is not "former", he is retired but still holds his commission with the rank of LTG.
So they managed to come up with their brief within the 10 days set by the circuit court, eh?
Just the fact that they were Watergate prosecutors makes me question their integrity.
Never click on the MSN.com link. Never click on the MSN.com link. Why do I ever forget?
What rock did these slimy critters crawl out from under?
Review facts? WTF has he been doing while presiding over the trial for the past 3 years?
Are what's being trotted out mere presumptions, as all the witnesses in the House Dems' impeachment trial had as the best they could muster, or do these really old lawyers have some clear and convincing evidence?
What's the percentage of these prosecutors that are Senior Executive Service or have attended Bohemian Grove? If it's a large percentage in either case, we can be assured these are Deep State fixtures are decidedly not working in the public interest.
This Issue was Just Decided by the Supreme Court, Fokker I believe. The Appeals Court should Cite All these scumbag Attorneys with Abuse of Process and Hold them in Contempt and sanction them.
So a former prosecutor is telling a judge to become judge, prosecutor, Jury and executioner. Bet these guys have never read the Constitution!
A criminal case has a judge, a prosecutor and a defendant. The judge is there to preside over the conflict between the other two. If both the defendant and the prosecutor agree to end the case the case is over and the judge needs to move on. If a judge becomes a prosecutor he is no longer a judge.
And just what is the mental condition of these prosecutors. . .we may have some Joe Biden’s on our hands.
The Deep State really wants this guy buried.
He has been the Judge throughout this trial, he knows the facts better than anyone else, what on earth does he need an outside review for?
The judge certainly has an obligation to “review “ everything submitted to the court.
That doesn’t mean he can hire a Democrat to come in and argue against DOJ and against a defendant’s rights.
The judge’s extreme folly was trying to delay everything and put on a kangaroo court proceeding
Strange! I would have thought the Judge had been given an order to drop all charges by the “Department of Justice”, his boss!
To the Deep State! It’s over!
No he does not. His obligation is to be a judge. Both parties have asked for dismissal. End of story
Excuse me, but this a-hole has had since December 2017 to review all the facts, and has obviously failed miserably. Why give him more time to do the job he was supposed to be doing all along? Gross malfeasance on the part of the prosecutors, and on the part of the sitting Judge. Get this farcical moron off the bench.
BS. No he does not. Whether to prosecute is at the sole discretion of the prosecutor. It is not the role of the Judiciary but of the Executive branch.
“Just the fact that they were Watergate prosecutors makes me question their integrity.”
How about if they write a letter explaining why the spying on Trump doesn’t warrant prosecution.
The law is clear on this point.
Which proves that these people are hacks.
