12, May 2020 Michael Flynn
I am appalled and profoundly saddened
by the blatant action of the Justice Department to undermine its own
prosecutors in its case against Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty twice to
lying to F.B.I. investigators and Vice President, Mike Pence attempting to
collude with the Russians.
This is a political move, orchestrated
by attorney general Bill Barr to help his boss, Donald Trump to divert public
attention away from this administration’s inadequate response to the virus and
to rile up the president’s political base. I hope the presiding judge will
ignore the AJ’s recommendation to dismiss the charges, as the judge has already
ruled that those charges are warranted. But it is still likely that the
president will pardon Mr. Flynn, citing his decision the Justice Department’s
conclusion that there is no evidence of Flynn’s guilt. Sadly, the Justice
Department is moving in lockstep with a highly dysfunctional president and
Republican Party who have lost their moral bearings.
Finally, this is the same Flynn who
riled up Trump’s base with the chant, “lock her (Hilary Clinton) up!” Let us
hope that justice may finally be served by locking up Flynn for a very long
time.
