up QAnon Nuts Euphoric Over Latest Turn in Michael Flynn’s Legal Case By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 00:16:00 GMT Photo Illustration by Lyne Lucien/The Daily Beast/GettyRoy “Captain Roy D” Davis has devoted much of the last three years to the QAnon conspiracy theory, writing books pitching the concept to new fans and getting his car repainted with an enormous “Q” on the hood. Through it all, he’s been utterly convinced that former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn—a central figure to much of the Q community—was the victim of an anti-Trump cabal orchestrated by the leaders of the deep state. He corresponded with other Flynn supporters following his legal case, and donated proceeds from one of his books to Flynn’s legal fund. So when Davis saw on Thursday that the Justice Department would drop its charges against Flynn for lying to the FBI, Davis was euphoric.“He’s a hero of mine,” Davis said. “I wouldn’t do all of these things just out of the blue.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

up The Justice Department Is Now as Corrupt as the President By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 07 May 2020 23:20:04 GMT Mark Wilson/GettyJust after the prosecutor assigned to the case resigned on Thursday, the Department of Justice announced that it dropped the charges against Michael Flynn, the former national security advisor who’d already pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia. President Trump forecast this before it happened. Last week, he insisted that Flynn had been exonerated. Apparently referring to his pardon power, Trump suggested that if the court did not do something he would use “a different kind of power.”And now it’s happened. While the president has the broad power to pardon, he should not control individual prosecutorial decisions, especially those concerning a political ally. It is extremely unusual for the government to dismiss charges after a guilty plea. This is a sign that the historic independence of the Justice Department has been compromised.
