Appeals court orders judge to dismiss Flynn charges
The Hill ^ | 6/24/20 | Harper Neidig

A federal appeals court on Wednesday ordered a judge to grant the Department of Justice's (DOJ) unusual move to drop charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals approved Flynn's petition to intervene in the case after a district court judge had tapped an outside counsel to argue against the DOJ's move.

“especially to keep him gagged so he can’t reveal anything about Obama’s Muslim-backing machinations during the 4 months between now and Election Day.”

Nailed it my friend. Great work.

Now, Trump give him his position back - although I could understand if Flynn never wanted to see DC again.

I think the FBI needs a new Director.

What’s scary is the “against” vote, which was the moron judge who tried to make it into a racial thing.

Hold on. Anyone think the POS judge will pay attention to this order? The DOH-J already said dismiss it and he said no. He needs to be removed from the bench butt, that’d be racis’.

I would venture better than even odds that Sullivan will try to drag this out by some other means.

Sullivan probably just say "no" and go for another appeal.

A tiny glimmer of justice emerges from the dark.

Rational and just legal decisions are very rare these days.

Enjoy this brief moment of sanity.

top search for Flynn now on rigged twitter...

What an incredible injustice! In a 2-1 federal appeals court decision written by Trump appointee Judge Neomi Rao, charges against Flynn are getting dismissed. This is just simply absurd! Barr must resign! https://t.co/M4ObviMXiF— Amy Siskind 🏳️‍🌈 (@Amy_Siskind) June 24, 2020

To be appealed, no doubt.

An appeal can only be brought by a party to the case. Here, both parties agree that it should be dismissed. There is no party that will appeal.

Don’t break out the good stuff just yet. They can still appeal this to the full circuit.

Some judicial sanity for a change.

Yes, but better not get used it. This is legal anomaly these days.
