Judge Argues Trump Tweets Are Reason to Keep Prosecuting Michael Flynn

Retired Judge John Gleeson told a federal appeals court on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s tweets in support of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn are part of the reason charges against Flynn should not be dropped.

In a brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Gleeson argued that Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, who is presiding in the Flynn case, should be allowed to stop the Department of Justice (DOJ) from ending the prosecution.

Last month, the DOJ moved to withdraw its case, after evidence emerged to suggest that the FBI had pursued Flynn in 2017 to set him up for “lying,” even though it had concluded there was no reason to suspect him of committing a crime.

Moreover, the FBI had failed to provide that evidence to defense lawyers until an outside prosecutor, Jeffrey Jensen, reviewed the case at the request of Attorney General William Barr, finding irregularities in the DOJ’s pursuit of Flynn.

Judge Gleeson knows squat about law. He probably thinks affidavit is a Jewish wine.

Were the appeals court judges laughing when they read that "argument". Did Gleeson also invoke Global Warming and the extinction of the dinosaurs, which are just as relevant as Trump's Tweets?

I doubt the Appeals Judges are even looking at this nimrod's brief.  The case before them, the Motion for Writ of Mandamus, does not turn on what Gleeson says.  It's not relevant.

That judge is a moron
