For the life of me I still cannot understand how tRump supporters can still support him after his own Sec of State, Sec of Def, Chief of Staff, and Nat Sec Advisor have come out against him.

Add in that the last two candidates that tRump supporters voted for (Romney and McCain) both came out against tRump.

Add in that the last GOP POTUS (Bush) has come out against tRump.

It makes no fucking sense.  We are in the Twilight Zone.

There's really only one explanation...it's a cult.  It just is.  There's nothing that can turn them.  Nothing. 

Yup - Cult 45.

Ah, yes. It's a great day for justice in America when you can lie to the FBI and admit so under oath in court multiple times and get off just because you happen to know the president. Law and Order (for everyone else but Trump and his associates)!

But if you were paying attention you would know there was no “lie”. Evidence was fabricated, a family member was threatened, and a plea was coaxed. Evidence released today continues to show that the initial prosecution was a complete travesty of justice. The truth has set Flynn free and nothing more. #defundthefbi

Oh. Okay.

He lied to the fbi. Then he admitted so under oath. Multiple times.

If you, I, or anyone else other than an associate of Donald Trump did that, we'd be locked up for quite a while. We're moving toward an autocracy at a rapid pace. Luckily we'll put a stop to that in a few months though.

My god do I hope so. I mean, it seems like a no brainers but I will honestly remain very nervous about it until the orange soul eating fucktard is out of DC for good. Part of me thinks it'll be a decisive victory, but then I simply cannot accept it to be a foregone conclusion either.

Imagine the feeling you get if you woke up November 4th to find out that Biden lost the election. And we start the clock on 4 more years of...well...whatever the fuck the last 3½ years have been. Imagine that gut churning feeling.

We’ll be fine. 

At one point, people like BS thought this type of thing might galvanize the American public behind Trump but...yeah that ship has long since sailed. Laughable at this point. Thankfully something like this will just further reinforce, in the minds of a majority of Americans, how corrupt this president really is. 

This stuff probably helps Biden at this point as only the looney toon 30% of Trump’s base actually care/believe Flynn is innocent.

Horseshit....the judge asked Flynn if he had reservations and he had none.  He even said he knew that lying to the FBI was a federal crime.

It will be reversed and it will be beautiful.

Yeah, it is hard to keep up with Republican spin these days. So the GOP is now saying that Flynn lied and committed perjury when he admitted he had lied and committed perjury? You spin me right round, baby, right round.

Yea, you told us three years ago a corrupt CYA Barr, who auditioned for his job with a 20 page screed on how he'd protect the president, falsely summarized the Team Mueller report in a 4 page alternative version of the truth would then disregard all previous precedent and case law and drop the charges against a defendant who had previously plead guilty, not once, but twice, and during his sentencing hearing, admitted and took full responsibility for his criminal actions. Yea, you called it. Now imagine this same type of behavior occuring in an Obama, Hillary or Sleepy Woke Joe Administration, heads would explode. But, yee shall reap the seeds yee have sown and shall rue the day.

Shudder for the rule of law in our nation. Be alarmed that a politicized Justice Department will be allowed to do whatever it wants in service to a sitting president. Be amazed that judges can spout errant nonsense to reach a result that just happens to square with the interests of a president who shares their partisan leanings.

Yes, the decision by two Court of Appeals judges to block efforts to scrutinize the Justice Department’s decision to drop its prosecution of Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, is that disturbing. Here’s hoping the entire U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit insists on reviewing this scandalous decision and overturns it.

Remember what’s involved here: Flynn himself pleaded guilty to two charges of lying to the FBI about his 2016 conversations with Sergey Kislyak, then-Russian ambassador to the United States, about sanctions then-President Barack Obama imposed on Russia for its interference in the 2016 campaign. Vice President Pence later said that Flynn lied to him about the nature of his contacts with Russia.

After only 24 days on the job, Flynn was dismissed by President Trump, who explained in a December 2017 tweet: “I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies.”

That was then. But in Attorney General William P. Barr’s Justice Department, the past can be miraculously rewritten. Guilty pleas can be erased. Anything that undermines former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Trump and Russian interference is a-okay.

So Justice moved to shut down the case by bizarrely claiming that Flynn’s admitted lies were not “material” to a legitimate investigation.

District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, aghast over a move with little precedent, smelled political interference. He asked John Gleeson, a former federal judge, to advise on whether the Justice Department should be allowed to drop the case.

Gleeson’s report this month was scathing. He accused the Justice Department of exercising a “gross abuse of prosecutorial power” to protect Flynn, charged Barr with “irregular” handling of the case, and described DOJ’s claims as “not credible” and “preposterous.”

But Judge Neomi Rao, appointed by Trump, joined by Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, appointed by President George H.W. Bush, ruled to stop Sullivan in his tracks. The theme of their decision: Nothing to see here.

“This is plainly not the rare case where further judicial inquiry is warranted,” Rao wrote for herself and Henderson, adding, “This is not the unusual case where a more searching inquiry is justified.”

Are you kidding?

Rao and Henderson sounded like defense lawyers for Barr’s department. “The district court’s appointment of the amicus and demonstrated intent to scrutinize the reasoning and motives of the Department of Justice constitute irreparable harms that cannot be remedied on appeal.”

Translation: God forbid that the truth be made public.

“These actions,” they wrote of Sullivan’s moves, “foretell not only that the scrutiny will continue but that it may intensify.”

Translation: God forbid that the DOJ has to answer more questions.

Court of Appeals Judge Robert L. Wilkins, appointed by Obama, was properly scathing in his dissent on both the law and the facts. “It is a great irony that, in finding the District Court to have exceeded its jurisdiction, this Court so grievously oversteps its own,” he wrote, scorching his colleagues for failing to give “the lower court a reasonable opportunity to issue its own ruling.”

“In 2017,” Wilkins wrote, “the then-Acting Attorney General told the Vice President that Flynn’s false statements ‘posed a potential compromise situation for Flynn’ . . . and just a few months ago, the prosecution said that Flynn’s false statements to the FBI ‘went to the heart’ of a valid counterintelligence inquiry and ‘were absolutely material.’

“Now, in a complete reversal,” Wilkins added, “the Government says none of this is true.”

You think, Wilkins is asking us, that there just might be something fishy here?

Alert readers will notice that I mentioned which president appointed each of the three judges, a practice that makes some good people uneasy. They want our justice system to work in a nonpartisan way, and so do I. But with Trump and the Republican Senate speeding up their assembly line to load the benches with conservative judges — the Senate confirmed Trump’s 200th judicial appointee on Wednesday — we need to face the consequences of what they’re doing. And in the Flynn case, it’s very hard not to see the decision as partisan.

During a 2018 sentencing hearing, Sullivan told Flynn: “I’m not hiding my disgust, my disdain, for this criminal offense.” Those are precisely the feelings we should have for a ruling that would leave the Justice Department unchallenged and unquestioned when it makes a decision that reeks of political favoritism.

Its a great look when someone posts endless BS about the corruption in the Obama Administration and Hillary's Uranium1 and CGF misdeeds but then champions the current corruption of Team Trump Treason.

An appointee with no prosecutorial experience:

President Trump’s nominee to take over the Manhattan federal prosecutors office after the abrupt dismissal of U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman refused on Thursday to say whether he would recuse himself from pending investigations involving Trump’s interests and associates if confirmed for the post.

Appearing before a House Financial Services subcommittee, Securities and Exchange Committee Chairman Jay Clayton sought to deflect Democrats’ questions about his selection for the job and the circumstances under which Berman was removed over the weekend, characterizing the Senate confirmation process as “way down the road.” But when pressed by Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) to “commit, right here, to recusing yourself” from matters in which the president has a personal stake, Clayton demurred.

“What I will commit to do, which is what I commit to in my current job, is to approach the job with independence and to follow all ethical rules,” he responded.

The New York U.S. Attorney’s Office has pursued a number of investigations that have struck close to Trump’s inner circle, including his former and current personal attorneys, as well as his political campaign.

An ongoing probe into Rudolph W. Giuliani, Trump’s current lawyer, has been particularly aggravating to the president.

Earlier in Thursday’s hearing, which was supposed to focus on the state of the economy during the coronavirus pandemic, Clayton sought to assure lawmakers that he remains devoted to his present job at the SEC, which he has held since 2017.

“I recognize the nomination process is multifaceted and uncertain, and it is clear the process does not require my current attention,” he said in prepared remarks. “In short, I am fully committed to and focused on my role at the SEC.”

So much winning:

It is becoming alarmingly difficult to keep track of all the reasons to worry about what’s happening at Justice under Barr — and increasingly clear that what we know that is worrisome may be the tip of the iceberg. And it is becoming absolutely imperative that Barr and other senior department officials testify about their activities.

Last Friday saw the botched massacre of Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. The episode was telling for those, myself included, who once had higher hopes for Barr’s second stewardship of the department.

For those who thought Barr might be an institutionalist, protecting the department from the predations of a president with little respect for it, consider: He backed installing a prosecutor in the flagship office with no — zero — prosecutorial experience.

Jay Clayton, the intended nominee, might be a fine chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and an excellent corporate lawyer. He has no business overseeing the Southern District. Clayton’s “management experience and expertise in financial regulation give him an ideal background . . . and he will be a worthy successor to the many historic figures who have held that post,” Barr proclaimed in his Friday night announcement. This is dangerous hackery, insulting to those who have served in that post and, more important, to the department.

For those who thought Barr would be competent, consider: He ousted Berman, a registered Republican and Trump donor, and wound up with Audrey Strauss, a registered Democrat who has contributed to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the job. Well played.

The underlying question is why Barr felt compelled to remove Berman — and, here, there is every reason, given past performance, to suspect foul motives. After all, the Southern District is an office that has prosecuted and investigated any number of Trump allies and the president’s own inaugural committee. After all, according to John Bolton’s new book, this is a president who said “the Southern District prosecutors were not his people, but were Obama people, a problem that would be fixed when they were replaced by his people.”

It is not business as usual to fire a U.S. attorney — or it at least hasn’t been, with the exception of President George W. Bush’s mass dismissals in 2006. When it happens, Congress — and the public — needs to understand why.

Especially under the current circumstances. Wednesday brought remarkable testimony before the House Judiciary Committee from two current Justice Department lawyers. John Elias, former chief of staff to the assistant attorney general in charge of the Antitrust Division, described how the division had launched an unwarranted investigation of the cannabis industry, at Barr’s behest, and an equally unwarranted probe, in the wake of an angry presidential tweet, of automobile manufacturers’ agreement with California to abide by Obama-era emissions standards.

Tick tock goes the indictment clock. Just a matter of time before it all comes crashing down.
