Is Anybody Surprised?
Why not?
From The Morning, a daily update from the NY Times.
1. A ‘gross abuse of prosecutorial power’ |
A court-appointed expert urged a federal judge to reject the Trump administration’s attempt to drop the criminal case against Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser. The expert, a retired federal judge, criticized the Justice Department’s “highly irregular conduct to benefit a political ally of the president.”
|
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I. about his contact with Russia’s ambassador, but the Justice Department later claimed the lies were not “material.” Those claims, the retired judge, John Gleeson, wrote, “are preposterous.”
|
What’s next: The case will continue on Friday when a three-judge panel on the Court of Appeals considers the case.
