The Justice Department, yet again, shot down several allegations of prosecutorial misconduct made by ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn in a court filing addressing one of the many Flynn disputes with prosecutors that has thrown his case into chaos.
The abrupt reversal of the DOJ rebuttal is coming any minute now.
“The Justice Department, yet again, shot down several allegations of prosecutorial misconduct made by ex-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn…”
Somebody didn’t get the memo.
I guess the prosecutors on that case are “gonna go through some things”.
Yep. Revised DOJ filing (not-in-response-to-Trump’s-tweets-or-desires - it would be ludicrous to think so) expected by Thursday morning.

I’m wondering about that myself. Will Barr be willing to publicly humiliate his prosecutors again? Will there be much, if any blowback if he does? How far will this go? Time will tell.
… on Fox and Friends.
I’d kind of disagree.
But I’d say prosecutorial misconduct came in the form of not HANGING THIS M-----------G TRAITOR FROM THE OUTSTRETCHED SCALES OF LADY JUSTICE!
The question is does Trump even remember who Flynn is? I mean really what does Flynn have to offer Trump now if Trump steps in? At least Stone and Trump were friends for a long time, Flynn not so much.
“As always, the government is aware of its ongoing discovery and disclosure obligations, and continues to review information that arguably could be pertinent to the defendant’s guilt or punishment with those obligations in mind,” the filing said. “However, the defendant relies on allegations that do not pertain to his case, that the Court already rejected, and that have no relevance to his false statements to the FBI on January 24, 2017.”

Freaking prosecutors just don’t get it that they are not supposed to be messing with the Boss’ accomplices.

She’s gonna throw the book at him and dare Trump to pardon him.
I think the technical legal term for that is: “laser focus on what will work.” It’s either that or: “throwing everything against the wall to see if anything sticks.”
Another term is ‘card subject to change’.
What a strategic choice of words.
“This is a horrible and very unfair situation,” Trump tweeted around 2 a.m. He added, “Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice! ”
ETA: And she even wrote the order on the 5th before Trump’s tweet tirade on the 10th.
O god, I hope so. Trump is either going to pardon Stone or not, and the judge’s actions will have no effect on his decision. She might as well do the right thing and keep her integrity intact.
I think the reason that Barr hasn’t fixed this problem is that, unlike Stone, Flynn sung like he was at the opera.
This suggests that Trump and his Twitter ghostwriter had a heads up on this. More rot exposed.
Saved me the trouble.
I guess Flynn isn’t as ‘popular’ as Roger…or he doesn’t have the ‘goods’ on Donnie…
OF COURSE… they are there to serve tRump after all
