Judge Sullivan has no love for Michael Flynn:
Skeptical judge could hold up Trump administration's bid to clear Flynn, legal experts say

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The notoriously independent-minded federal judge who once said he was disgusted by the conduct of Michael Flynn could block the administration’s bid to drop criminal charges against the former adviser to President Donald Trump, legal experts said.
The Department of Justice on Thursday told U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington it wants to drop the case against Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, following a pressure campaign by the Republican president and his political allies.

While judges typically sign off on such motions, Sullivan could refuse and instead demand answers from the DOJ about who requested the sudden about-face, said Seth Waxman, a former federal prosecutor now at the law firm Dickinson Wright.

“If Judge Sullivan wanted to he could conduct an inquiry and start asking a lot of questions,” said Waxman.

I am not a fan of Flynn but the FBI should not be setting up entrapments against citizens. The entire collusion/Steele dossier investigations was wrong at its core.

Sullivan isn’t going to do a thing.

And BTW, I see your supply of brillo pads hasn’t suffered during the covid crisis.

gosh, is he being pardoned to?
Isn't Donald being kept busy by his "friends"
I think Trump is not even going to bother with pardons and instead just have Barr throw out the cases for all of his friends.

So brown nose Barr does have his uses after all, that's why its always good to select people willing to please - who otherwise would be out of work.

Early on trump put a call out: "Where's my Roy Cohn?" He got just what he asked for and more in Bill Barr.

No one was entrapped. No one made lie. As a member of the military he knew it was a crime to.lie to the FBI. That seems pretty simple to honest,decent people.

Yes, it was. There was no legal foundation for the collusion investigation at all. None. There are even notes indicating that there was no reason to interview him, no legal foundation at all, just using the interview to catch him in a lie. That is the textbook definition of “ Entrapment.”

Anyways, we can put to bed the entire Steele Dossier/Collusion/Mueller Report. All total BS.

even if your premise were true - and it is not - he lied. Period. My 18 year old cousin. In the Army understands you cannot lie to the FBI REGARDLESS of the circumstances.

And yet he lied to the FBI. Something that was formerly a crime.
