Ex-Judge Calls DOJ's Push To Drop Flynn Case An Abuse Of Power

The transcript discusses the legal proceedings involving Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI in 2017. Flynn later sought to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming innocence and accusing federal prosecutors of bad faith. An ex-judge argued that Flynn's plea withdrawal was perjury and criticized the DOJ's request to drop the case, citing errors and abuse of power. The judge recommended rejecting the DOJ's request and suggested considering Flynn's perjury during sentencing rather than filing new charges.
