Had this case come to the court via a grand jury indictment
I think it would be harder for the DOJ to recall it. Obvious to me, the Judge has dithered as a good deal of the info from the filings from Flynn’s attorney should have been sufficient for the judge to rule to dismiss the matter. Also, The apparent collusion between his prior attorneys and the DOJ attorneys along with their hiding info from their client should have convinced the judge without Barr having to step in. I suspect Barr did it because he wanted to put the onus on Sullivan, get the info out into the public spector, and not have to rely on a Pardon from Trump which could interfere with his future plans for Comey et al.
Good analysis. One of my ideas is for the Senate (Lindsay Graham is the chairthing, I believe, and is always shrieking about hearings but I never hear them) to call both Barr and Mueller before them with a tough set of questions for both. I think Mueller makes joe Biden look like an Oxford professor; he is basically a cigar store Indian with a wooden head who has been used as a useful prop and front man but his mind is long gone. That would show up the Mueller investigation for exactly what it was - a phony dog and pony show that ruined good people’s lives and reputations under the guise of a senile ex-FBI Director.
The judge blew his opportunity to withdraw the case. When the DOJ did, they cleared the way for lawsuits. Flynn now has a clear civil case against all. Barr has clear criminal shot against all. Barr clears the targets and said ready aim fire. Grennell did same with Schiff. You release all of I will. Ugly had no place to run
Rush Limbaugh had a good point today - have you heard a single congressional Democrat speak up about this blatant subversion of the Constitution by the Federal Bureau of Fabrication and some lying ex-CIA Directors? not one - remember Howard Baker, “what did the President know and when did he know it?” By contrast, Schumer “Trump once more helps his cronies (Flynn)” or Pelosi (”I don’t need to hear the evidence bc in my 80 year old addled botoxed head I know Joe biden is a good man”).
