UNITED STATES DISTRICT

*"The facts surrounding the filing of the Government's motion constitute
clear evidence of gross prosecutorial abuse. They reveal an unconvincing
effort to disguise as legitimate a decision to dismiss that is based solely
on the fact that Flynn is a political ally of President Trump *[...] *The
Justice Department abdicated the responsibility to prosecute defendants
without fear or favor by attempting to provide special treatment to a
favored friend and political ally of the President of the United States
[...] **It has treated the case like no other, and in doing so has
undermined the public's confidence in the rule of law"*
