I have never heard of this happening in a criminal case before. Just shows how politically charged this has become. I think judge just wants to make it clear he is concerned about possibility of DOJ making a move based on protecting the President instead of seeking justice.
In the end I don't see how any judge could force a case to go forward if the prosecuting attorney is not going to try and prosecute.
Kind of surprised Barr did this, if he did indeed do it at Trump's request. It would've been easier to let the case wrap up and trump pardon Flynn before the end of the year. This way, they're risking... Well I'm not sure what, as I've never seen a judge not accept a prosecutors motion to dismiss. But I'm guessing they're risking flynn going to jail and trump possibly not being in office to let him out
Just seems like a bad way to get a minion out of trouble. It's not like manafort where the best trump could do was get him moved to his house.
