J'accuse

And so the American Dreyfus affair finally ends in justice being done.

WILKINS, Circuit Judge, dissenting in part: It is a great
irony that, in finding the District Court to have exceeded its
jurisdiction, this Court so grievously oversteps its own. This
appears to be the first time that we have issued a writ of
mandamus to compel a district court to rule in a particular
manner on a motion without first giving the lower court a
reasonable opportunity to issue its own ruling; the first time
any court has held that a district court must grant “leave of
court” pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a)
without even holding a hearing on the merits of the motion; and
the first time we have issued the writ even though the petitioner
has an adequate alternative remedy, on the theory that another
party would not have had an adequate alternate remedy if it had
filed a petition as well. Any one of these is sufficient reason to
exercise our discretion to deny the petition; together, they
compel its rejection. I therefore respectfully dissent from the
majority’s grant of the writ.

Found it.

“For the foregoing reasons, we grant Flynn’s petition for a writ of mandamus in part and direct the district court to grant the government’s Rule 48(a) motion to dismiss. In light of that grant, we vacate the district court’s order appointing an amicus as moot. See Great W. Sugar Co. v. Nelson, 442 U.S. 92, 94 (1979).

So ordered.”

Ignoring the law or subverting the law is the Liberal default.

In approaching ANY problem ... Liberals’ first decision is to see how they’ll get around what’s legal and what’s required.

It is telling that the longer it dragged out the more exculpatory info kept popping up.

It is my opinion that the ongoing release of damaging info (damaging to DOJ) is the only reason Barr decided to end this. He didn't care about Flynn or justice. He cared about stopping the release of documented blatant corruption in the DOJ.

He further allowed one more super damaging piece out yesterday (sealed so we don't know what was in it but word is it was very damaging to Strzok / McCabe) I think as a warning: shut this down or you don't know what could still come out. This is the tip of the iceberg and it goes much higher than you want to be known in public.'

He switched lawyers to pursue a new scorched-earth tactic that accused the FBI of entrapping him, and asked the judge to dismiss the charge.

...

We now know that tactic was based on the truth. Reuters is beyond horrible.

Split decision. An appeals judge supported continuing this absurd persecution.

...

An Obama judge.

If they do report it, they will do it in such a way to make Flynn look guilty, and it was Trump who did something illegal to get Flynn off the hook.

I wouldn’t put it past him. Although I don’t think he has standing, it would have to be the DOJ appealing.

A judge cannot appeal anything.
Thst is the prosecution’s job. The prosecution want it dismissed. It’s over.
BUH BYE.

...

I hope so, and now Flynn, as a first step, can be compensated by the government for his legal costs.
