Following President Trump’s controversial pardon, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan dismissed the pending criminal case against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, bringing to a close one of the most dramatic episodes in the Russia investigation and subsequent interference at the Justice Department to undercut it.
So what happens to his investigation of the department of justice’s reasons for attempting to withdraw from Flynn’s guilty plea?
Dear Flynn,
Go Fuck Yourself.
Luvs,
America
…and, anything from those who were claiming that Sullivan could contest Flynn’s pardon as being invalid?
Ok. What’s news? I think everyone expected that from Sullivan but…
OT
A suspected Chinese spy cozied up to members of Congress and “engaged in sexual or romantic relationships with at least two mayors of Midwestern cities,” according to an investigation by Axios. Christine Fang was a prominent fundraiser for Rep. Eric Swalwell, even recommending an intern for the California Democrat’s office. After being briefed by authorities in 2015 about Fang’s suspected ties to China, Swalwell cut her off and Fang fled the country, according to Axios. “At least two separate sexual interactions with elected officials, including one of these Midwestern mayors, were caught on FBI electronic surveillance of Fang, according to two intelligence officials,” Axios wrote. The identities of these officials and mayors are unknown.
I wonder what Ret. General Austin has to say about this?
Nothing he can say.
Quite handsome woman…as you’d expect…
I’m just going to wait patiently until Flynn really fucks up and gets charged with treason like he deserves. People like Flynn never learn - he’ll just go bigger now and eventually it’s going to catch up with him.
Today’s GOP: The Party of Law and Order National Defense Patriotism Felons, Traitors, and Cowards.
Need a real honest to goodness declared war for that. Maybe with France?
Oh my!
He’ll go the George Zimmerman/OJ Simpson route, and live a terrible life, with the knowledge that his pardon is undeserved. I’d rather see him in an orange jumpsuit, but this is what we’re stuck with.
Well he could get charged like the Rosebergs did, with violating the Espionage Act.
Good for Sullivan for writing this: “pardon ’does not, standing alone, render [Mr. Flynn] innocent of the alleged violation.’”.
We know that, Your Honor, but thanks for putting it into the public record.
Sullivan said that, “pardon ’does not, standing alone, render [Mr. Flynn] innocent of the alleged violation.’”
A little surprised at the wording. I would have expected it to be “pardon ’does not, standing alone, render [Mr. Flynn] innocent of the violation to which he twice plead guilty.’”
With this regrettably closed, Flynn deserves public shame EVERY DAMNED DAY FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.
“Because the law recognizes the President’s political power to pardon, the appropriate course is to dismiss this case as moot,” Sullivan said. Quoting another court case, however, Sullivan said that, “pardon ’does not, standing alone, render [Mr. Flynn] innocent of the alleged violation.’”

So does this mean that he accepts guilt but has been pardoned and thus avoids punishment?
Yes. Also expect Fox, OAN, etc to claim that Swalwell was one of the elected officials she had sex with.
