Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee jumped into the Michael Flynn case Wednesday, filing an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief arguing for why Judge Emmet Sullivan should not sign off on the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case. The brief cited the case against former Trump associate Roger Stone and the Mueller report as evidence for why further examination of the department’s action was needed. “In this case, the impropriety is barely concealed.”The court filing followed another brief by retired Judge John Gleeson, who Sullivan appointed to file a brief on the issue.
