Stunning Move Flynn Judge Appoints Gotti Prosecutor To Argue Against DOJ Dismissal
The judge in the Michael Flynn case has gone full activist – refusing to dismiss the case after the Department of Justice requested to drop charges so that an outside party could file an opposition briefing known as a “friend-of-the-court”, or “amicus” briefing.
Today, Judge Emmet Sullivan took things one step further, appointing former Gotti prosecutor and judge, John Gleeson, to argue against the dismissal and to determine whether Flynn should be held in contempt for perjury.
