WASHINGTON (AP) — A former federal judge appointed to review the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss criminal charges against ex-national security Michael Flynn has found that the government’s request should be denied because there is “clear evidence of a gross abuse of prosecutorial power.”

Former U.S. District Judge John Gleeson says in a filing Wednesday that the government “has engaged in highly irregular conduct to benefit a political ally of the President.”
Gleeson was appointed by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in a special role to weigh in on the case, but it will ultimately be up to Sullivan and potentially an appeals court whether or not to accept the Justice Department’s motion to drop the case.
Flynn pleaded guilty, as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, to lying to the FBI about conversations with the then-Russian ambassador to the United States during the presidential transition period.
John Gleason, a former Mafia prosecutor seems to have a good understanding of the corrupt Trump administration. Perhaps a RICO prosecution is ion order.
Total Abuse of Power in every branch of democratic government by trumpus. What a Rasha he is on every level.
Hopefully, the appeals court will throw Sullivan out soon.
Duham___ Let’s go. !! Start cuffing .
Can anyone explain how you drop a case of a person who twice plead guilty?
there is a reason he is an ex judge fake news he means nothing
Flynn is an honorable who served our country valiantly for years. Thank the lord he is out.
He pleaded guilty because he was under torture. They threatened him. Just like you would admit to anything if they put your feet into flames.
