Ex-judge urges court to sentence Michael Flynn despite DOJ bid to drop case
[NYPOST] A former judge appointed to oppose the Justice Department’s request to drop its case against Michael Flynn urged sentencing to move ahead in a court filing Wednesday, arguing the government’s request to dismiss the case has only “pretextual” justification.Ex-Judge John Gleeson said in a DC federal court filing that “[t]he facts surrounding the filing of the Government’s motion constitute clear evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse. They reveal an unconvincing effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely on the fact that Flynn is a political ally of President Trump.” Related: John Gleeson: 2020-05-25 Re: Sullivan - What the Media will not ask John Gleeson: 2020-05-23 So, Is That How the Special Counsel Office Avoided Turning Over the FBI's 302 Report to Flynn's Lawyers?
