Dim Won Still Dim

Dim Won, b/k/a President Barrack Hussien Obama, needs to remind the nation that as well as being a retired President he, along with his wife, are both former lawyers. They both have JD’s but have surrendered their law licenses. Dim Won is upset that the DOJ has ended their effort to frame retired Army Lt. General Michael Flynn, from Yahoo News:

“The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed — about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn,” Obama said in a web talk with members of the Obama Alumni Association.

“And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk. And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly as we’ve seen in other places.”

Note that Dim Won is not a licensed attorney, apparently unable or unwilling to read a law brief. Professor Jonathan Turley notes, that General Flynn was not charged with perjury:

President Obama is being quoted on Flynn, saying “There is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free.” It is a curious statement. First and foremost, Flynn was not charged with perjury

Moreover,  apparently Dim Won believes, or was told, that pardons only undermine the “Rule of Law” when issued during a republican administration from New York Slimes via Don Surber:

“President Obama on Tuesday pardoned James E. Cartwright, a retired Marine Corps general and former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I. about his discussions with reporters about Iran’s nuclear program, saving him from a possible prison sentence.

“General Cartwright, who was a key member of Mr. Obama’s national security team in his first term and earned a reputation as the president’s favorite general, pleaded guilty late last year to misleading investigators looking into the leaking of classified information about cyberattacks against Iran.

Mr. Surber has assured his readers that the full article can be found behind the Slimes paywall and who am I to argue.
