The state AGs’ brief explains that “the federal judiciary has no authority to make the executive branch pursue (or continue to pursue) a criminal conviction.” Further, the AGs brief cautions that any “commentary” by the court on the wisdom of the Justice Department’s decision to dismiss the Flynn case, including through submission of amicus briefs arguing against dismissal, would be “punditry [that] disrobes the judiciary of its cloak of impartiality.”</p></blockquote><p></p>
