Michael Flynn lawyer blasts judge-appointed attorney who opposes dismissing criminal case

Michael Flynn’s lawyers accused a federal judge Wednesday of shedding “any appearance of neutrality” in the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s former national security advisor.

That claim was made in response to the judge’s appointment of an attorney to oppose the Department of Justice’s request to dismiss the case.

Flynn’s lawyers also said that the judge’s appointee, John Gleeson, “engaged in a flagrant personal and partisan assault” when he argued that the Justice Department committed a “gross abuse of prosecutorial power” in seeking to drop the case.

The “sheer duplicity” of Gleeson’s “scurrilous arguments” against the DOJ “is stunning,” Flynn’s lawyers wrote in a filing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.

Judge Emmet Sullivan had appointed Gleeson, who himself is a former federal judge, to make legal arguments opposing requests by the Justice Department and Flynn to dismiss the case.

Flynn’s lawyers argued in their filing Wednesday that Sullivan had no legal authority to appoint Gleeson, and that he must grant the requests to dismiss the criminal charge against the retired Army lieutenant general.

Unreal.

And the higher court continues to say .... nothing. In spite of all the ‘it’s unprecedented for them to ask for x within y days! this is huge!’ stuff I’ve always felt they would turtle up and avoid slapping this out of control judge down. So far, that seems a good bet.

No Di, this judge is a true believer. A brainwashed autonomous spreader of evil. No blackmail needed.

John Gotti was right when he described Gleeson as a faggot.
