Ex- District Judge John Gleeson, the review judge appointed by District Judge Emmet Sullivan, says William "Low" Barr's DOJ engaged in "gross abuse of prosecutorial power" in trying to drop charges against Michael Flynn. He says go ahead and sentence the lying traitor:
A former federal judge appointed to review the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss criminal charges against former national security adviser 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 said 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 to accept the Justice Department’s motion to drop the case.
