Politics FBI handwritten notes to get Flynn fired

This post wreaks desperation and conspiracy theories. Alex Jones is that you?

 

lmfao! The DOJ simply is trying to get the case dropped in order to do trumps dirty work. It has nothing to do with justice.

 

man you just have NO clue about the riverman's temperament or logic......nice try but I don't play those games...I'm an independent...nobody owns the riverman's vote! I'm a photo negative of Alex Jones but you could probably join his writing team...he needs obsessed conservatives to bounce ideas off of...are you Steve Bannon? I voted for Gary Johnson last election.....I don't think Alex did

 

pardoning Flynn wreaks of desperation and conspiracy.....and no, I'm not Donald Trump. It's all about his election chances...and he's flailing in desperation and paranoia...I understand how that can rub off on his fans

 

Lol, you said you don’t play that game, then played the game!

 

nah....I didn't ….but I did highlight your feeble attempt at baiting for a sparring partner. barking up the wrong tree my friend...fuck Trump....again...fuck Trump. That's all I've got for the guy at this point.....sad you still hang onto the dude's bullshit..someone will argue with you...I just shake my head and wonder..how anyone can back a proven compulsive liar.

 

Evidently, the truth hurts the GOPers.

 

Yup, and in the last 2 days I've been told by 2 different people that Trump "was not late in acknowledging the virus and acting as swiftly as he could/should have"and I also learned that "Flynn did nothing wrong".

 

It does?

 

As I put in bold, you absolutely did. Just because you claim it, doesn’t debunk your actual words.

 

put it on a hook and toss it in the lake!

 

..."shotty"?

There is ample precedent for this motion even though, as I noted in the column calling for this action, such dismissals are rare. There is a specific rule created for this purpose. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a) statesthe government may dismiss an indictment, information or complaint “with leave of the court.” Moreover, such dismissals are tied to other rules mandating such action when there is evidence of prosecutorial misconduct or fundamental questions about the underlying case from the view of the prosecutors.

Current through P.L. 116-91 (12/19/2019)
Section 48 - Dismissal
(a) BY THE GOVERNMENT. The government may, with leave of court, dismiss an indictment, information, or complaint. The government may not dismiss the prosecution during trial without the defendant's consent.
(b) BY THE COURT. The court may dismiss an indictment, information, or complaint if unnecessary delay occurs in:
(1) presenting a charge to a grand jury;
(2) filing an information against a defendant; or
(3) bringing a defendant to trial.
18 APPENDIX U.S.C. § 48

As amended Apr. 29, 2002, eff. Dec. 1, 2002.

NOTES OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON RULES-1944 Note to Subdivision (a). 1. The first sentence of this rule will change existing law. The common-law rule that the public prosecutor may enter a nolle prosequi in his discretion, without any action by the court, prevails in the Federal courts, Confiscation Cases, 7 Wall. 454, 457; United States v. Woody, 2 F.2d 262 (D.Mont.). This provision will permit the filing of a nolle prosequi only by leave of court. This is similar to the rule now prevailing in many States. A.L.I. Code of Criminal Procedure, Commentaries, pp. 895-897.2. The rule confers the power to file a dismissal by leave of court on the Attorney General, as well as on the United States attorney, since under existing law the Attorney General exercises "general superintendence and direction" over the United States attorneys "as to the manner of discharging their respective duties," 5 U.S.C. 317 [now 28 U.S.C. 509, 547]. Moreover it is the administrative practice for the Attorney General to supervise the filing of a nolle prosequi by United States attorneys. Consequently it seemed appropriate that the Attorney General should have such power directly.3. The rule permits the filing of a dismissal of an indictment, information or complaint. The word "complaint" was included in order to resolve a doubt prevailing in some districts as to whether the United States attorney may file a nolle prosequi between the time when the defendant is bound over by the United States commissioner and the finding of an indictment. It has been assumed in a few districts that the power does not exist and that the United States attorney must await action of the grand jury, even if he deems it proper to dismiss the prosecution. This situation is an unnecessary hardship to some defendants.4. The second sentence is a restatement of existing law, Confiscation Cases, 7 Wall. 454-457; United States v. Shoemaker, 27 Fed. Cases No. 16, 279 (C.C.Ill.). If the trial has commenced, the defendant has a right to insist on a disposition on the merits and may properly object to the entry of a nolle prosequi. Note to Subdivision (b). This rule is a restatement of the inherent power of the court to dismiss a case for want of prosecution. Ex parte Altman, 34 F.Supp. 106 (S.D.Cal.).

COMMITTEE NOTES ON RULES-2002 AMENDMENT The language of Rule 48 has been amended as part of the general restyling of the Criminal Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only.The Committee considered the relationship between Rule 48(b) and the Speedy Trial Act. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161, et seq. Rule 48(b), of course, operates independently from the Act. See, e.g., United States v. Goodson, 204 F.3d 508 (4th Cir. 2000) (noting purpose of Rule 48(b)); United States v. Carlone, 666 F.2d 1112, 1116 (7th Cir. 1981) (suggesting that Rule 48(b) could provide an alternate basis in an extreme case to dismiss an indictment, without reference to Speedy Trial Act); United States v. Balochi, 527 F.2d 562, 563-64 (4th Cir. 1976) (per curiam) (Rule 48(b) is broader in compass). In re-promulgating Rule 48(b), the Committee intends no change in the relationship between that rule and the Speedy Trial Act.

 

So yeah, it is perfectly “constitutional” for the AG to drop the case. You can stop now.

 

The only desperation i see is from someone who thinks he knows the laws. The judge does not have to dismiss it and the other charges he plead guilty to statue of limitations doesn't end till March of 2022. Your boy is not out of the woods.

 

Legal and ethical are not the same thing and that's where barr is an idiot as he has been acting like a private attorney for trump, not the USA.

Next!!

 

Yup, it's hilarious how a message board poster can seriously act as if he's a Constitutional Law Professor as well as an Epidemiologist simply by copying and pasting.

 

Yeah, great times. That article, and citing is from a very distinguished constitutional scholar.
