DOJ drops all charges against Michael Flynn!

[JimL]

Right, so no evidence that this is being directed by the President, just your own paranoid delusions.

Okay, well maybe you are not pretending then.

It is the judge's role to enforce the rules of the courtroom and impartially determine guilt or innocence in accordance with the law.

A judge's role is much less limited than how you've characterized it. He get set verdicts aside, he can invalidate entire trials, he can determine which evidence to allow and which to exclude, he can force a prosecutor or advocate out of the trial, etc. All of those things are part of the "rules of the courtroom" (which is a phrase that's so vague, it's almost meaningless)

When he refuses an uncontested motion to dismiss and then starts shopping for prosecutors to make a case against the defendant for him, he's crossed way over the line

According to you. Unfortunately for your argument, a judge can do exactly what you've described and still be well within the role judges are supposed to play.

Here's an excellent summary of the case for the slow kids in the class...

Jonathan Turkey notes with a sense of irony that it was Dirty Sullivan's decision in December to delay sentencing that unwittingly gave Flynn and his legal team the time they needed to expose the FBI's corrupt handling of the case. If the dirty judge had simply pushed forward with sentencing then all of this would have probably been swept under the rug.

Turley is a political hack, always has been, and so are the propagandists that you constantly cite. Flynn did the deed, admitted to doing the deed, and a corrupt Administration, the DOJ no less, is undermining the rule of law in order to help Trumps allies and punish his enemies. Dictator!

I confess that I often don't have the time/inclination to read through this blog's entries, and I regret it. Lawfareblog has been excellent every single time I've put the effort into reading its detailed articles. I've even seen a few of its staff appear on cable news as analysts. It's clearly got well-deserved credibility.

This article is no exception. Thanks for posting it, even though it makes me sad/angry about the state of my country's justice system.

LOLfare.

The joke here is that you must think liberals do...

The other joke is that LOLfare's analysis and predictions have been almost universally wrong. They're affiliated with the Democrat party and have been hired by party luminaries like Nancy "Where am I?" Pelosi, "Shifty" Adam Schiff, and Jerry "I'll be at the buffet if you need me" Nadler in their repeated schemes to have President Trump removed from office. LOLfare's goal, of course, is to promote liberal propaganda under the guise of legal analysis and to look for legal loopholes through which Democrats can sneak their dirty agenda through...

Remember, the entire Russian collusion investigation hoax, and the Ukrainian phonecall impeachment scam was spearheaded by LOLfare.

I expect that if Biden is asked about this by the mainstream media, he'll be allowed to get away with a "He was just some guy in my neighborhood" type answer, like Obama was allowed to get away with when asked about his close friendship with a domestic terrorist.

But you can be sure Trump will bring it up during the debates. That should be fun to watch.

The groundwork is being laid to cancel any debates.

Because the Dems know Biden will get crushed. He can't speak without his notes. Once Trump gets him off his prepared points, it's going to get ugly. So, keep Biden from debates and just publicize his prepared statements. Make Joe likeable...

[Watermelon]

Evidence that Trump sent in his honorable attorney general to interfere with court proceedings?

[Mountain Man]

I think you misspelled "rumormongers".
