President Obama is being quoted on Flynn, saying "There is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free." It is a curious statement. First and foremost, Flynn was not charged with perjury
Second, we now know Obama discussed charging Flynn under the Logan Act which has never been used successfully to convict anyone and is flagrantly unconstitutional. Third, this reaffirms reports that Obama was personally invested in this effort. Finally, there is precedent
There is a specific rule allowing for this motion under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a). There are specific Supreme Court cases like Rinaldi v. United States addressing the standard for such dismissals....
The Justice Department has dismissed cases in the past including the Stevens case.That was requested by President Obama's own Attorney General Eric Holder for the same reason: misconduct by prosecutors. It was done before the same judge, Judge Sullivan. How is that for precedent?

There is no precedent in an attempted coup of the incoming POTUS based on a bunch of lies. There has never not been a peaceful transfer of power until Obama and his gang were losing their grip.
The left propped this Kenyan Clown up like he was Jesus in a suit. He is one of the dumbest politicians that I have ever seen,heard and read. I give him credit for being smarter than Patty Murry,AOC and the other squad bints,McKinney,Pelosi,and Hirona.Hell,that list could stretch on and on in the socialist wing. So he is actually the smartest of the idiots? What does that say?
Obama is the ring leader of the criminal conspiracy to frame Flynn. He’s scared.
One of his external brains needs to remind obama that it’s better to keep her mouth shut and appear a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Clear statement from an actual Constitutional Law Professor, not weasel words from a one-time adjunct instructor who mostly (all?) focused his curriculum on Civil Rights. I wonder if zerO ever even read the entire Constitution.
Not unless it was in Arabic!
Takes “the Constitutional Scholar” out to the woodshed, and tans his hide. Well deserved.
General Flynn has become the Alexander Solzhenitsyn of his time. Flynn spoke against Comrade Obama and the Party never forgave him. They arrested him, tried to imprison him and now try to exile him. The Soviets found letters from Solzhenitsyn as a soldier that questioned the government and they imprisoned him in the Gulag. Look at the Soviet tactics of the threats against Flynn’s family. They forced him to plead guilty to a crime he didn’t commit. Those who don’t learn from the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them.
And the that conga-line of posers who've been telling all, "Nothing will happen to any of them", will be force fed big plates of crow. If they need someone to force feed them, I will be more than happy to accommodate as I know who most of them are.
Simple liberal projection.
Thanks, I’m actually surprised that my imperfect recollection resulted in a successful googling for that old topic. :^)
I wholeheartedly agree.
Your links within threads are outstanding, I have followed them up many times even if I have not acknowledged them all.
That’s because we had never had an enemy agent in the Oval office.
Thanks! I've decided I've got to get a pool this summer, spend time outside, away from the computer. BTW, apropos of nothing, any idea if weatherproof CPUs and monitors have come down in price?
Logan Act, Logan Act, Logan Act. Enough already! Has NEVER been prosecuted since passage in 1799, TWO HUNDRED TWENTY ONE YEARS AGO. Proves once again that old laws stay on the books to entrap citizens.
REPEAL IT NOW!
Why would they want to go after Flynn now? He’s not even part of Trump’s administration anymore. But oh, how I would love to see him appointed the new head of the FBI. I would be in fits of ecstasy. I’d have to dance around the house and scare the cats!
“Former President Barack Obama, talking privately to ex-members of his administration, said Friday that the “rule of law is at risk” in the wake of what he called an unprecedented move by the Justice Department to drop charges against former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.”
I would think the unprecedented move is when your FBI Director Comey decline to pursue prosecution, which was outside his prevue to do, after listing the crimes that Hillary committed. What an unmitigated a*****e.
“And the that conga-line of posers who’ve been telling all, “Nothing will happen to any of them”, will be force fed big plates of crow...”
Nothing WILL happen to any of them, but there is nothing I'd love more than to be wrong and have me a big plate of crow with salt and a little ketchup.
Yeah, if John Kerry hasn't been indicted on the Logan Act, it's pretty much pointless.
