Justice Department drops case against Michael Flynn
- Thread starter BFIB
- Start date
Remind me what is more corrupt: a third world country or the United States of America.
he was looking to withdraw that guilty plea as of earlier this year. he was just kidding when he admitted guilt, i guess.
A little off topic but, I've been listening to some union folks and far left talk about this and I truly believe that change through electoral politics is probably a dead end if RBG dies or becomes incapacitated. I think the only real power the little people have got left is the strike and worker action. Chicago and West Virginia's strikes are good examples of what we'll have to do on state and even national levels if we want to force the hand of all three branches of government. Dems will probably be constantly hamstrung by the SCOTUS even if they control congress and the executive branch going forward.
Monday is when the Supreme Court tells us that Trump is immune from investigation for state crimes, as well as the Trump Organization, and all of his friends and family by proxy.
5-4, both sides, but her emails, etc.
Nothing matters except voting.
It's the very last remote chance good people have left for even imperfectly dealing with this shit.

It will be a mix of
1)"Heal the partisan divide"
2)We've got bigger fish to fry because our economy is on fire
3)Maybe WE can use these same loopholes in the future because obviously we would NEVER use it for evil!
Sadly though, I blame 1 & 2 on us. There really isn't enough of a thirst for justice in America because too many think everything is just fine. There's a chance post Covid some will wake up, but im not holding my breath
Stacking the Supreme Court becomes the only option. If that means that Republicans reverse stack in when they get into power, at least it returns the ability to effect change via election.
US is on par with china and russia in this regard at this point
And what is the utility of this comparison? What exactly are you trying to say?
EDIT: The US has done more damage to the international community through its policies, espionage, and imperialism than all third world countries. Also, look at the post below mine and think very carefully about it.
A lot of third world countries are under oppressive corrupt regimes thanks to US support, so... 😶
Most black and hispanic people were saying before the 2016 election that this is just par for the course. It's like dealing with shit cops. Yeah, it's bad, but we've been dealt shit hands from the start anyway. Just keep your head down and vote for something.
Changes nothing.
Trump supporters always felt it was unfair.
Trump haters always felt he was guilty and part of a larger scheme with Trump and Russia.
Nothing changes with this move.

Everyone forgets Barr is also hiding the Epstein case under the rug as his dad was the first one to hire two-time college dropout Epstein at the dalton school.
This isn't true at all. There was at least some hope that justice could be dealt to people like this. That's completly gone. He clearly did something wrong.
yup remember this energy you're feeling now in nov cause this is some shameful shit. the man barr picked to 'review' the case was hand picked by sessions himself on the us attorney advisory committee. shit matters - this should be some drag-them-out-into-the-street levels of corruption but it's wormed it's way through our broken system relatively unscathed.
He plead guilty to talking to Russia, which the Trump DoJ is now saying is not a crime.
So the guilty plea automatically becomes nothing more than an admission.
Dems had the chance to impeach Barr in the House multiple times and they continued to do nothing against him. He's obviously been corrupt since the abrupt end of the Mueller investigation and his mangling and cover up of the Mueller report.
Trump can literally do whatever the fuck he wants. I don't think people fully appreciate that fact.
Fuck this shit goddamnit
When do we get to strike back. This constant flow of awfulness is unbearable

New AG when Trump gets his ass booted from office needs to clean house of DOJ officials installed by Barr that aren't career employees. Barr has to be the most corrupt AG in modern history. He's totally politicized the department. Reads like a damn campaign email.
So I saw this on twitter and law twitter chiming in
essentially the judge has to approve the dismissal/withdrawal of charges. There is some hope this still sticks given its Judge Sullivan.

This doesn't upset me. Knowing the fact that the Democrats will not pursue legal action against Trump admin after they win is what will really burn my soul. :(
Correct. The judge still has the final say.
The arguments that the prosecution are making...This is plain corruption.
At least he wasn't appointed by Trump/McConnel. I will harbor some faint hope.
Worst case scenario it's pretext for Trump to pardon.
Still hope the judge stands firm...
To be clear, he lied (to Pence explicitly and everyone in the admin by omission) about his coordination with Ambassador Kislyak (former Soviet Union spymaster Kislyak). Then he lied about it to the FBI.
Because Russia knew of these lies, this gave them leverage over at least one higher up in the Trump Administration.
So let's be clear, this isn't just about lying. This is about giving our greatest adversary leverage over our country.
And now Trump is already talking about returning this traitor to his administration.
Trump supporters may feel this is unfair but that means they are either supporting of traitors or just stupid. Or both.
