I don’t disagree that there is plenty to be pissed off about. I am too.
However, this fiasco may provide us with a window into Barr’s true intentions.
Barr has a pretty good idea of what took place and part of that involved Flynn. “If” there is a conspiracy against Trump (we know there was) and the court continues to drag out the prosecution of an innocent man, Barr has a legal and ethical obligation to notify the court of ALL EXCULPATORY INFORMATION.
If you read the DOJ filing(s) they have relied on matters of law without disclosing the “rest of the story” even as much more of that has emerged.
What is a stronger argument to free an innocent man?
“Your honor, we move to dismiss because we do not find a predicate for our charge nor do we believe we could win the case at trial” OR “Your honor, we have an ongoing investigation that will show that the defendant was the victim of a criminal conspiracy by the government to frame him for a crime he did not commit”?
They have all but said it publicly, but they have not really spelled it out in the motions to dismiss.
Flynn was framed. They need to just come out and say it - ongoing investigation be damned. This IS NOT what the appeals court is considering in the motions and briefs.
Exactly. The President declassified everything and handed it over to Barr to be released at his discretion, so what happened?
