The Attorney General is responding an after uproar over his decision to drop the case against Michael Flynn, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about interactions with a Russian ambassador to the United States. Now Barr tells CBS about his decision to go against the judicial system by withdrawing a guilty plea:

“As I said in my confirmation hearing, one of the reasons I came back is because I was concerned that people were feeling there were two standards of justice in this country. And that the political and that the justice, or the law enforcement process was being used to play political games. And I wanted to make sure that we restore confidence in the system. There’s only one standard of justice. And I believe that this case, that justice in this case requires dismissing the charges against General Flynn.”

And when asked whether he is doing the president’s bidding in Flynn’s case? Barr remarked, “No, I’m doing the law’s bidding. I’m doing my duty under the law, as I see it.”

Meanwhile, the Associated Press writes that there is still a chance this isn’t the end of the case:

“The notoriously independent-minded federal judge who once said he was disgusted by the conduct of Michael Flynn could block the administration’s bid to drop criminal charges against the former adviser to President Donald Trump, legal experts said.”

“While judges typically sign off on such motions, (U.S. District Judge Emmet) Sullivan could refuse and instead demand answers from the DOJ about who requested the sudden about-face, said Seth Waxman, a former federal prosecutor now at the law firm Dickinson Wright.”
