Politics FBI handwritten notes to get Flynn fired

I already gave my opinion about Clinton a few posts back in this thread. If you disagree with it, we can agree to disagree.

 

Cool. Thanks for the reference. Apart from being a murderer, I've always believed she's been corrupt in her business dealings, as well. For the record, that (shady business dealings) could be said about Trump, as well. I acknowledge that.

 

The actual motion to dismiss court papers

https://thehill.com/regulation/496649-read-doj-motion-to-dismiss-flynn-case

 

The United States of America hereby moves to dismiss with prejudice the criminal information filed against Michael T. Flynn pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a). The Government has determined, pursuant to the
Principles of Federal Prosecution
and based on an extensive review and careful consideration of the circumstances, that continued prosecution of this case would not serve the interests of justice. Mr. Flynn entered a guilty plea—which he has since sought to withdraw—to a single count of making false statements in a January 24, 2017 interview with investigators of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”).

This crime, however, requires a statement to be not simply false, but “materially” false with respect to a matter under investigation. 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2). Materiality is an essential element of the offense. Materiality, moreover, requires more than mere “relevance” or relatedness to the matter being investigated; it requires “probative weight,” whereby the statement is “reasonably likely to influence the tribunal in making a determination

After reading the “motion to dismiss” I’m extremely confident this was the right call. Go ahead and have the house and senate have Barr testify. He’s gonna make them look like fools.

 

That’s easy.


Pre-Sentence Withdrawal
A defendant can typically withdraw a guilty plea that a judge hasn’t yet accepted. Also, defendants who have pleaded but not yet been sentenced can sometimes get out of their deals, particularly when the judge rejects the negotiated agreement pursuant to which the defendant pleaded. (The prosecution can sometimes back out of a deal, too.)

The judge allowed this... Take it up with the judge.

 

Okay, take it up with the judge when she does accept the dismissal request of the DOJ.

 

Not so quick son. Are you aware that Flynn also plead guilty to several other crimes that they agreed would not be prosecuted? They can bring up those other charges and in fact, the statue of limitations doesn't run out till 2022. Also, the judge does have authority to go ahead with the cAse as well if he chooses. Might not want to count those chickens just yet.

 

The animosity between the two parties is so ugly that I hope that a third party rises for people who want a more workable government.

 

Does this mean that Flynn did nothing wrong?

 

For public opinion? I guess we will see how the public responds. In the legal standpoint? No, he did nothing wrong.

 

Thanks!
