General Flynn is suing the US Government for malicious prosecution and abuse of process. The government filed a motion to move the case from the middle district of FL to DC. The following is the opposition to the motion to transfer the venue. General Flynn is represented by Jason Greaves of the Binnall Law Group.
The Plaintiff argues that the motion to transfer is a “transparent attempt” to “forum shop”—the government thinks they will be able to win if they hear the case in DC. This would be prejudicial to the Plaintiff, who has the right to choose the venue because the entire case is based on the weaponization of the very courts they want to hear this case in. There is little chance the same system alleged to have caused the wrongdoing can fairly hear the case.

Not only is it important that justice is served, but it is critical that there is the APPEARANCE of justice if Americans are to have faith in our justice system. That can’t happen if the case is heard in DC.
Further, the government hasn’t met its burden to show a transfer is warranted, let alone clearly warranted (which is the standard.) The majority of the factors weigh against transfer or are neutral. Plaintiff requests the motion is denied and also requests an oral argument.

Beanz always does a good job explaining the issues and the applicable law in her articles regarding pending cases.
I can foresee a time coming when Progressives will pick and choose friendly venues for any case, real or imagined. In Manhattan any well-known conservative could be indicted for anything.
Government says: We don’t need no stinkin’ trial.
Bfl
DOJ is jury-tampering. SCOTUS should stop it.
Told everybody the first thing they will try to do is get this moved to the DC Swamp. Its either the DC Swamp or the Southern District of NY always. If the Establishment cannot get it to one of these two districts, they are afraid they will actually have a real trial.

Correct. They cannot have this case heard in a real court. They need a judge who will not allow certain evidence, rule constantly for the government side, and give more leeway to the government in presenting both law and evidence.
bkmk
They will always win in the courts of DC. Washington DC is the corruption center of the nation and has been since at least the 1850s.
“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
Not just biased judges. DC itself is a 92% to 5% jurisdiction. They also need juries that will always rule in favor of Democrats/the Establishment no matter the evidence.
Sixth Amendment
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Impartial jury? For Republicans? In DC?
Bwahahahaha!
The District of Corruption.
It will move to DC.
Bank on it.
