A Delicious Footnote In The Flynn Case



Disgraced felon and former National Security Advisor Michael "Lock Him Up" Flynn was nothing if not a stone-cold Islamaphobe, who last year called Islam a "cancer" and who peddled conspiracy theories (along with his wingnut son).  That's why it's a delicious fact that one of the two Federal prosecutors who handled Flynn's case yesterday before the U.S. District Court is Zainab Ahmad, a seasoned Federal prosecutor who successfully prosecuted multiple terrorism cases while Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, now assigned to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's "dream team." Ahmad is New York City-born of Pakistani ancestry.

This just keeps getting better.
