An appeal by the Department of Justice to have the legal case involving former Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn’s allegations of wrongful prosecution transferred to Washington, D.C., was denied by a federal judge.
“In sum, the Court concludes that the interests of justice weigh against transfer of this case to the DDC. Plaintiff is entitled to seek redress in his home forum, and Defendant’s Motion presents no overwhelming need to disturb that choice. The only party who would clearly be inconvenienced by relocation of this action to the DDC is Plaintiff, who would be forced to litigate outside of his home state. The Government is not over burdened by litigating here,” District Judge Mary Scriven ruled on June 12.
In line with the now fully discredited Trump-Russia collusion fiction, Flynn in March of this year filed a $50 million lawsuit against the government alleging unfair prosecution. The Tampa Division of the Middle District of Florida’s United States District Court is where Flynn filed the lawsuit. He is a citizen of Florida.
During the course of special counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry, Flynn was shortly employed as President Trump’s national security adviser. Flynn, a retired three-star general, originally entered a guilty plea to the charge of lying to FBI investigators, but he later asked to withdraw the plea as it became clear that the FBI did not think he was guilty of lying to its investigators. In addition, the aforementioned agents made an effort to get the case against him dropped, but their higher-ups overruled them.

Got a good idea wanna move the trial??? Bring it to Lubbock Texas!!
Good.
IMO anything done is D.C. is very suspect.
It doesn't have to be that way... Congress has full constitutional jurisdiction to rule DC ... the Home Rule law passed iin the 70's can easily be revoked and Congress can replace local rule with its own authority.... fire th Mayor, District Counsel, and all of its judges and local policing agents as Congress sees fit.
Wonder why Congress permits Bowser to run rip shod over Constitutional law... congress is complicit with the bad... no horrible ... government in DC. Fire the Speaker and GOP Leadership... they are worthless fixtures in a failed Political Party.
