| [HotAir] The DC Circuit Court of Appeals tossed an earlier 2-1 ruling written by Judge Neomi Rao ordering Judge Emmet Sullivan to dismiss charges against Michael Flynn, as requested by the Department of Justice. Instead, the full bench of the appellate court will rehear the arguments presented by attorneys from all three parties — Flynn, the DoJ, and Sullivan himself. A federal appeals court on Thursday tossed out its order that a trial court judge dismiss the criminal case against former national security advisor Michael Flynn, and said it will rehear arguments on the issue. The ruling is a blow both Flynn and the Justice Department, which has sought to drop the prosecution of him for lying to FBI agents about his conversations in the weeks before the inauguration of President Donald Trump. ... A three-judge panel in the federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington in late June ordered Sullivan to dismiss the case after hearing arguments from lawyers for the judge, Flynn and prosecutors. But Sullivan asked the full appeals court to reconsider that order, which is said Thursday it will do. More at the link. |

| #3 AP- Back in the early 70s I had an ongoing argument with a bunch of SDS minor leaders. They were yelling that all over the world (inc. Vietnam) we were supporting corrupt governments. I responded "Do you really really think our government is much less corrupt then any of these? Really?" They refused to look at any of the machines or legal systems. |
