The court filing to drop former national security adviser Michael Flynn's criminal case used the attorney identification number for the previous US attorney, a technical error that adds to the twists of the dramatic reversal by the government
The bombshell court filing was signed only by interim DC US attorney Timothy Shea, a political appointee who used the court identity number of his ousted predecessor Jesse Liu. The incorrect ID number is a technical error that may need to be fixed before the judge weighs in.
Though the Justice Department now says it doesn't want to prosecute Flynn, Sullivan has the authority to keep the case alive, asking for more explanations. He previously accepted Flynn's plea -- after Flynn told the judge he wasn't entrapped by the FBI and knowingly lied to them -- and reviewed evidence in the case, rejecting Fynn's assertions that the FBI acted inappropriately when agents interviewed him in the West Wing about his contacts with Russia in January 2017.
