This isn’t from “The Babylon Bee?” Wow!
I say let them file it, provided they file it without any help. In fact, they have to turn on the computer, find their brief, open it in Word, convert their document to a pdf, log into the court’s system, upload it, basically do the whole thing by themselves. That would be hilarious.
Since when do people get to weigh in on a DROPPED CASE??
Especially a case where THE GOVERNMENT is corrupt.
DemocRATs should be throat punched each and every time that they dare to mention our Constitution.
This is truly unbelievable. That outside civilians get to weigh in on the punishment or continuation of a criminal proceedings against another individual citizen, provides just one more winning issue to appeal.
Wow, the chutzpah is strong! They are the LAST people on earth to "ensure a fair presentation of the issues." They railroaded a fine man out of the presidency over nothing.
They need to mind their own business. Watergate was SO long ago that by now the Left has changed the narrative.
OMG - DISBAR THEM!
Why are these discredited legal dinosaurs given any access to a current criminal case? This judge should be investigated and his bank account examined.
I find nothing else over the past 45 years. No statements against Obama, Bush or Clinton. We all know that there were so many issues these champions of justice could have injected their group into with the three former Presidents. But NO, NOTHING until the Trump Impeachment and now General Flynn.
Sixteen former Watergate prosecutors this week asked to file a friend-of-the-court brief weighing in on the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
In what can only be considered as an “Overt Act in Furtherance of a Seditious Conspiracy to Overthrow United States Presidency”, Let them File it then ARREST AND PROSECUTE THEM!!!
That was quick. Andrew Weissmann probably worked on it for weeks in case of need, and found a group of elderly statesman of the Dem persuasion to provide their John Hancocks.
Sullivan already blew this case up by not determining materiality when accepting Flynn guilty plea. It’s a required element and the court transcript clearly shows Sullivan wasn’t satisfied.
The case is over now or on appeal but it’s over.

For the scribd averse
I’m sure Sullivan, Jarrett, Obama,and Brennan had a zoom call.
The deep state meddling again.
The Public’s Interest? Why amicus? It will be interesting to hear Barrs’ response? I cannot believe he is not ahead of this game.
Accordingly: “solely within the court’s discretion to determine the fact, extent, and manner of the participation.”
“An amicus brief should “
1 normally be allowed when a party is not represented competently or is not represented at all,
2 when the amicus has an interest in some other case that may be affected by the decision in the present case (though not enough affected to entitle the amicus to intervene and become a party in the present case),
3 or when the amicus has unique information or perspective that can help the court beyond the help that the lawyers for the parties are able to provide.
And
“while there may be individuals with an interest in this (game) matter, a criminal proceeding is not a free for all.”

That was almost 50 years ago. Should they be in a some rest home?
Isn’t it remarkable how they knew in advance that Judge Sullivan would, in violation of all precedent, be inviting outside opinions in a Federal criminal case?
