Former Trump national security advisor and Defense Intelligence Agency General Mike Flynn will likely soon be out from under all prosecutorial and judicial harassment, as a 2-1 ruling and order from judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia throws out his case. The judge, rancid liberal jurist Emmet Sullivan, could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. But given precedent and the current make up of the high court, that move would be a kamikaze mission. Sullivan, who has the judicial integrity of a toilet brush, has lost the match against Flynn, Attorney General Bill Barr, and the president.

President Trump was happy with the decision Wednesday morning, tweeting: “Great! Appeals Court Upholds Justice Departments Request To Drop Criminal Case Against General Michael Flynn!”

Wednesday’s court order was strong, ordering “that Flynn’s petition for a writ of mandamus be granted in part; the District Court is directed to grant the government’s…motion to dismiss; and the District Court’s order appointing an amicus is hereby vacated as moot, in accordance with the opinion of the court filed herein this date. In this case, the district court’s actions will result in specific harms to the exercise of the Executive Branch’s exclusive prosecutorial power. The contemplated proceedings would likely require the Executive to reveal the internal deliberative process behind its exercise of prosecutorial discretion, interfering with the Article II charging authority,” Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, wrote in the decision.

Dissenting, Judge Robert Wilkins wrote, “It is a great irony that, in finding the District Court to have exceeded its jurisdiction, this Court so grievously oversteps its own. This appears to be the first time that we have issued a writ of mandamus to compel a district court to rule in a particular manner on a motion without first giving the lower court a reasonable opportunity to issue its own ruling.”

The corrupt move from Sullivan to keep the case ongoing despite prosecutors’ wishes was preceded by another unusual move from the Department of Justice (DOJ) itself to drop the charges against Flynn even after he had pleaded guilty, saying the FBI interview that led to his charge of making a false statement to investigators about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador had no “legitimate investigative basis.”

Last month, the DOJ made the move to drop its case against Flynn “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.” DOJ officials said they concluded that Flynn’s interview by the FBI was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s investigation into Mr. Flynn” and that the interview was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.”

“What is our goal?” one of the FBI investigation notes read. “Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” Another note read, “If we get him to admit to breaking the Logan Act, give it to DOJ… If we’re seen as playing games, WH [White House] will be furious.” Those notes, and the FBI corruption therein, speak for themselves.
