In general, a US Attorney thinks anything done in furtherance of getting a conviction is all above board. Such as instructing witnesses to lie to the court or covering up that you are having an affair with them.


I think Ted Stephens was a piece of shite but his corruption trial was probably the closest thing to a Stalinist show trial we got before the Flynn mess.


A judge has a right to protect the administration of justice in his court from DOJ shenanigans.

Funny you bring up this case.

I’m sure a deep dive into it will show that Sullivan was aware of everything going on then pulled a Claude Rains and was “Shocked, SHOCKED!” at all the corruption going on after it was exposed elsewhere.

So telling a Sr White House staff member that he doesn’t need a lawyer (against all protocol) and the FBI even admitting they didn’t think Flynn lied - how is allowing that case to go forward “protect the administration of justice”?

But that’s not what’s happening here. And you know it.

The DOJ decides which criminal cases go before his court though
