AG Barr Appoints Prosecutor to Audit Criminal Case Against Trump Former Adviser Michael Flynn

[Breitbart] U.S. Attorney General (AG) William Barr has installed a federal prosecutor to review the criminal case leveled against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, the New York Times reported Friday.

Barr appointed a prosecutor from outside the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington to handle the Flynn case.

Citing people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity, the Times revealed:

Mr. Barr has also installed a handful of outside prosecutors to broadly review the handling of other politically sensitive national-security cases in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, the people said.

The team includes at least one prosecutor from the office of the United States attorney in St. Louis, Jeff Jensen, who is handling the Flynn matter, as well as prosecutors from the office of the deputy attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen.

Over the past two weeks, the outside prosecutors have begun grilling line prosecutors in the Washington office about various cases ‐ some public, some not ‐ including investigative steps, prosecutorial actions and why they took them, according to the people.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly refused to comment on the Times’ findings.

According to the newspaper, "The review is highly unusual and could trigger more accusations of political interference by top Justice Department officials into the work of career prosecutors."

Barr’s decision to appoint a prosecutor to scrutinize the Flynn case seemingly comes after the DOJ inspector general (IG), on December 9, exposed a string of abuses by the FBI in obtaining Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) wiretaps on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

The wiretaps were part of the Russia collusion hoax probe by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Now that is just plain funny. The DoJ was packed with the most far left (of an already far left profession) lawyers that the that Obama's Marxist minions could find. It perfectly explains the subversive behavior of the DoJ, FBI and CIA for the past several years. It wasn't incompetence. It was by design.

Bingo. Truer words were never spoken.

Corruption, hidden in plain view.
