In @nytopinion, @neal_katyal & I explain why the Barr Justice Department's abrupt move to drop Flynn's prosecution "embeds into official US policy an extremist view of law enforcement as the enemy of the American people." /2 nytimes.com/2020/05/08/opi…
In @washingtonpost, @hsu_spencer & @amarimow discuss the legal debate the Flynn case has sparked, including the brief filed in the district court by legal scholars including @tribelaw @gtconway3d @RWPUSA @thetrevorpotter @oonahathaway me & many more. /3 washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
In @just_security, @GeorgetownLaw's @marty_lederman dives deep into the Justice Department's latest filing in the Flynn case. It's an exhaustive account worthy of close reading. /4 justsecurity.org/70656/four-rem…
In @USATODAY, former prosecutor @BarbMcQuade examined the filing in the district court by a former judge urging the trial judge not to dismiss the case as the Barr Justice Department has requested. /5 usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
Finally, in @PostOpinions, @neal_katyal @jentaub @tribelaw & I explain how, given the Trump administration's approach to the Flynn case, its "authoritarian behavior on the streets is being matched by its authoritarian positions in the federal courts." /END washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
