Judge in Flynn case appoints former mafia prosecutor to argue against DOJ motion to dismiss
the FBI, the DOJ set off a firestorm of criticism by filing a motion earlier this week to dismiss charges against him.
Gleeson has already offered his public opinion of the motion to dismiss. He wrote in a recent op-ed in The Washington Post, “The department’s motion to dismiss the Flynn case is actually just a request—one that requires ‘leave of the court’ before it is effective...There has been nothing regular about the department’s effort to dismiss the Flynn case. The record reeks of improper political influence.
Flynn, a retired Army Lieutenant General, served as Trump’s first national security adviser for less than a month in 2017. He later twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during interviews about his work with the Turkish government and contacts with Russian officials. Claiming that corrupt agents in the bureau set him up, he has since sought to withdraw his plea.
