“The nonprofit, government accountability advocacy organization “Free Speech for People” has filed a motion with Judge Emmet Sullivan who is presiding over Mike Flynn’s criminal case,” according to Team Justice.
After Trump pardoned Flynn, Attorney General Bill Barr’s Department of Justice filed a motion telling Judge Sullivan that he must “immediately” dismiss Flynn’s case and saying that he may not hold a hearing, Team Justice stated.
Free Speech for People seeks permission from Judge Sullivan to file an amicus (friend of the court) brief arguing that Trump’s pardon of Flynn is unconstitutional, and arguing that the prosecutors will not argue that point because they are in league in defendant Flynn, according to Kirschner.
As a federal prosecutor in Washington D.C., I appeared before Judge Sullivan.
He is a fiercely independent justice of unimpeachable honor and ethics, and has always been dedicated to the integrity of the criminals justice system and the federal judiciary. Here is what may happen next in the Flynn case. Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschner
