In an 8-2 decision the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has just denied disgraced former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s attempt to have his criminal case dropped. The Dept. of Justice, in an unprecedented and highly-controversial move, supported Flynn.
The decision “restores power” to District Judge Emmet Sullivan “to question the Justice Department’s moves in the politically divisive case,” CNN notes, “when Attorney General William Barr dropped charges against President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser earlier this year despite twice pleading guilty to lying under oath to lying to the FBI.”
