Former Watergate prosecutors urge judge to buck Justice Department and not dismiss Michael Flynn case
CNN ^ | 5/12/20 | Katelyn Polantz, David Shortell

Posted on 05/13/2020 3:39:22 AM PDT by Libloather

(CNN) Sixteen former Watergate prosecutors have told a federal judge he has the authority to sentence former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn to prison despite the Justice Department's effort to toss the case.

The filings add prominent voices to the backlash against Attorney General William Barr's softening of criminal prosecutions against President Donald Trump's associates.

In legal memos sent to the court on Monday and obtained by CNN, the former prosecutors essentially laid out the legal footing they believe Judge Emmet Sullivan has to reject the dismissal request and sentence Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

They compared the current situation at the Justice Department to Watergate, the scandal and criminal investigation that led to the President Richard Nixon's resignation.

The group, calling themselves friends of the court or "amici" in legal parlance, "experienced the 'Saturday Night Massacre,' during which an honorable Attorney General and an honorable Deputy Attorney General resigned or were dismissed rather than obey the instructions of a self-interested President to frustrate the work of an independent Special Prosecutor," they wrote to the judge.

I am not a worshipper of stupid grifters...

Yea, but you kinda are.

The website you pimp and worship at the altar of, MAGAcoalition, is a proven grift and con. Paytriots of the worst sort.

Why did you take your pimpish tagline off?

You are on the wrong side of Q, Flubro, and now Flynn.

You are anti-Trump in all but name only.

I expect this Judge to sentence Flynn.


Certainly possible.

It’s also possible he is retaining jurisdiction to address the Mueller team - and DoJ malfeasance in his court.

We’ll have to see.

You should be a bit more careful with how you libel others.

I’m not on the wrong side of anything except I can think for myself and don’t support moron LARPs and LARPers who grift off Boomer money.

According to Walter and Adam's close friend Jack Posobiec, friends of microchip et al, defango is among the creators of the "LARP":

Moar funny stuff from the Adam/Glenn YT vid machine transcribed transcript:

Adam and Glenn state Judge Sullivan is "our guy":

17:57
judge Sullivan who has uncovered
18:01
prosecutorial abuses before which
18:05
everybody was getting all glad-handing
18:06
themselves about how he
18:07
was gonna like just refuse to hold Mike
18:09
Flynn responsible right this guy
18:12
actually turned it the other way and
18:15
said uh-uh I'm not letting this guy walk
18:17
out of this courtroom I'm not I'm not
18:20
gonna go along with the prosecutors
18:22
recommendation of no jail time I mean
18:23
that shows you that heat well of course
18:26
he has a lot of the information in his
18:29
file that a jury wouldn't see or that
18:33
the press doesn't see I mean he's got
18:35
all of it in his file and he's looking
18:36
at Mike Flynn's character and his
18:38
judgment and he's saying not not gonna
18:40
wreck I don't care how much he
18:41
cooperated I'm not gonna recommend or
18:44
I'm not gonna send him to probation you
18:47
gotta really think about this this isn't
18:49
an Obama appointed judge this isn't you
18:52
know judge Amy Berman or anything like
18:53
that this is like a crusty old who
18:57
helped put him on it was at Reagan or
18:59
you know I think he's like one of the
19:01
old Reagan judges left or something like
19:04
that is one of ours
19:06
definitely one of ours so we haven't
19:09
been reporting it because frankly why
19:12
why kick your own people and we don't do
19:16
that and our media sources don't do that
19:18
but we are laying down on the railroad
19:20
tracks for a month from now when this
19:25
cross-examination makes headlines in
19:29
July and people act like they've never
19:32
heard before the stuff that they're
19:34
gonna say about Mike Flynn's
19:35
not gonna be very nice and you have your
19:39
head up you know an American flag so far
19:43
that you can't tell when we had people
19:46
that made mistakes that were around the
19:50
president that exposed the president the
19:52
president's actions were not the
19:55
harbinger for the opening or even the
19:58
the inkling or impetus for opening a
20:01
counter-intel operation to his campaign
20:03
the president has nothing and has
20:07
nothing to do with that
20:08
that wasn't a predicate at all anything
20:10
to do with his Russian ties there was
20:13
none there was no way that they could
20:15
open up that investigation when they
20:17
opened it up under their cover of you
20:20
know Co me getting fired they
20:21
already had all this stuff already


So Walter repeats it on FR and gets his ass schooled?:

Walter, I'm sure Adam is working up another deposit for you, he's jobless with kids in private school, where does he get his money? You follow him so help him and pay up sucka. Need another t-shirt?  LMAO

There's a virus on FR alright.

Research for yourself, think for yourself, trust yourself, believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research.

Judge Sullivan will impose about 3 years as a sentence to force Trump to pardon.

This is exactly the sort of breathless idiocy the judge was soliciting when he announced his call for input.

A judge cannot move a case forward without a prosecutor. This is all for the media and the Democrat Party's benefit. They are one and the same.

This is worse than I expected from Sullivan. I thought maybe a tepid memo along with order dismissing. He is part of the conspiracy.

Holy crap. That's the first time I've actually seen those guys talk. They are fat nerds and one of them wears sunglasses indoors. Is he a movie star or what?

And they are even dumber than Walter. Hey Walt, you and your people are totally against Flynn. What's up with that? How do you fix your mouth to support Trump if you don't support Flynn?

You know, FR is a patriot site, right? What are you doing here?

No, fat? Must be you through bad sunglasses.

I’ve been a supporter of Gen. Flynn for years.
The General follows me on Twitter.

Yes, you know so little but understand even less.
It’s a remarkable achievement.

Lies. On this thread alone you tried to discourage and steer FReepers away from contacting Sullivan's office.

Your two fat nerd MAGAcoalition con men buddies are against Flynn. It's documented. You support MAGAcoaltion.

Ipso facto, you are against Flynn. You are not a patriot. You are a paytriot.

Furthermore, you don't think those two fatbodies are fat. You must be fatter than them, which makes you immense.

Do you iron your shirts in the driveway?

Nothing I said is a lie.

I tried to discourage people from acting like a judicial process on a motion is something worth calling and trying to make noise about with a judge.

I said it’s more important to direct that energy toward elected officials. Because the elected officials can change the laws and strengthen penalties so nothing like what was done to General Flynn ever happens again.

That goes double for the country with the election and the illegal criminal actions against Gen. Flynn, Carter Page, et. al and of course President Trump.

As for the video, the guy in the sunglasses is very thin. So I advise against day time drinking and especially morning drinking mixed with meth.

Not only have I supported General Flynn for years. He follows me on Twitter.

So put that in your urn at the “Trust Wray” altar and smoke it.

:: You should be a bit more careful with how you libel others. ::

“libel” is a specific legal term that requires evidence of harm by both the writer and the publisher who allows it.
FR is not a publisher, it is a platform.
I think you owe JimRob an apology.
