Just wanted to bump this to mock poor, pathetic , January 11 2020 JohnT here for his naivety. Kid, you have no idea how fuckin’ banana republic this country is. You thought you did, what with your ‘impeached President’ saying he was ‘selling troops’ or whatever… but no.
Just you wait.
Can you call the US a “banana republic” if the courts seems to be staffed by large red marsupials?
[quote]A divided federal appeals court on Wednesday ordered the dismissal of the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, turning back efforts by a judge to scrutinize the Justice Department’s extraordinary decision to drop the prosecution.
The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said in a 2-1 ruling that the Justice Department’s move to abandon the case against Flynn settles the matter, even though Flynn pleaded guilty as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation to lying to the FBI.[/quote]
Here the appeal court seems to be a personal appendage to Mr. Flynn’s friend. (Why doesn’t Trump just pardon him instead? That would be disgusting too, but legal.)
Edit: Oh great. I can quote posters, but I don’t know how to quote text.
