Judge Slams Government Argument That Michael Flynn Is ‘Co-conspirator’ In Former Partner’s Trial

SARA CARTER:

U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga in the Eastern District of Virginia slammed the Department of Justice’s request to designate former National Security Advisor Michael T. Flynn a ‘coconspirator’ in the ongoing case it has against his former business partner after the government stated on numerous occasions that Flynn was a cooperating witness.

UNITED STATES AT THIS POINT HAS NOT PRESENTED OR PROFFERED EVIDENCE TO SUFFICIENT TO ESTABLISH BY A PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE A CONSPIRACY, JUDGE TRENGA

Trenga issued the 38-page scathing opinion in the late afternoon Tuesday that the “United States at this point has not presented or proffered evidence to sufficient to establish by a preponderance of the evidence a conspiracy for the purposes of admitting against the Defendant the hearsay statements of alleged co-conspirators.”

Trenga goes on to argue that “Notably absent from the government’s proffer is any evidence from Michael Flynn, who, as discussed above, has admitted that he made certain false statements in the FARA filing that was the object of one of the charged conspiracy and has entered into a cooperation agreement with the United States that extends to this prosecution.” more

  1. Don’t for a second think this is a rare event of the DOJ wandering way over the line in the US justice system to burn someone they didn’t like or wanted to use. Time for a major house cleaning using more than soap and bleach to clean the slime.

  2. looks like Barr hasn’t got around to straightening out more of these DoJ holdovers from the Obola Admin that burrowed-in at the end of Obola’s Reign Of Terror.

    Once Flynn has put this BS in his rearview mirror, I hope he starts a GoFundMe page and gets massively reimbursed for the hell he has been thru.
