Justice moves to drop case against Flynn
By Harper Neidig - 05/07/20 02:39 PM EDT

The Justice Department is moving to drop its case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Flynn had entered into a plea agreement in 2017 over charges that he lied to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. in the months before Trump took office.

Flynn has since withdrawn from the plea agreement and is fighting the charges.

One of the Justice Department lawyers prosecuting Flynn abruptly withdrew from the case on Thursday amid President Trump's attacks on the case against his former national security adviser.

AP Exclusive: Justice Dept dropping Flynn’s criminal case
By MICHAEL BALSAMO and ERIC TUCKER20 minutes ago
Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution that became a rallying cry for Trump and his supporters in attacking the FBI’s Russia investigation.

The move is a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the last three years had maintained that Flynn had lied to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in a January 2017 interview. Flynn himself admitted as much, and became a key cooperator for Mueller as he investigated ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. ...

DOJ Official Abruptly Withdraws From Michael Flynn Case



A top Justice Department official abruptly withdrew Thursday from the case against Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser.

Brandon Van Grack, who is chief of the Justice Department’s Foreign Agents Registration Act unit, notified the U.S. District Court of Washington, D.C., through a court filing that he is withdrawing from the case.

Van Grack, who worked on the special counsel’s Russia investigation, did not give a reason for his withdrawal, but it came after a series of revelations that call into question the FBI’s investigation of Flynn. Lawyers for the retired lieutenant general have accused Van Grack and other prosecutors of withholding evidence that they said shows that FBI agents set a “perjury trap” for Flynn.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ...

AP Exclusive: Justice Dept dropping Flynn’s criminal case
WTOP/Washington, DC, May 7, 2020

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution that became a rallying cry for Trump and his supporters in attacking the FBI’s Russia investigation.

The move is a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the last three years had maintained that Flynn had lied to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in a January 2017 interview. Flynn himself admitted as much, and became a key cooperator for Mueller as he investigated ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.

In court documents being filed Thursday, the Justice Department said it is dropping the case “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.” The documents were obtained by The Associated Press.

The Justice Department said it had concluded that Flynn’s interview by the FBI was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn” and that the interview on January 24, 2017 was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.”

The U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, Jeff Jensen, recommended the move to Attorney General William Barr last week and formalized the recommendation in a document this week.

“Through the course of my review of General Flynn’s case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case,” Jensen said in a statement. “I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed.”

'Innocent man': Trump honors 'warrior' Flynn after DOJ drops criminal case
by Mike Brest  | May 07, 2020 03:29 PM


President Trump rejoiced when he heard the Justice Department was dropping its criminal case against his former national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

“He was an innocent man ... Now in my book he’s an even greater warrior," Trump said, according to a press pool report Thursday afternoon. “They’re human scum ... It’s treason," the president added, referring to the Obama administration.

It's also beginning to look like the corrupt scheme to entrap Flynn originated in the Oval Office in January 5, 2017. That's the meeting that Susan Rice chose to memorialize in a bizarre Inauguration Day memo claiming Obama told them to do everything "by the book."

Top Democrat demands 'immediate explanation' from Barr after Flynn case dropped
The Hill, May 7, 2020

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said the “outrageous” move called for an “immediate explanation.” He added that the House Judiciary Committee would summon Barr to the Capitol as soon as possible, after a March hearing with the attorney general was postponed due to the pandemic.

“Rest assured, we are going to reschedule that hearing, ASAP, and demand answers!” Nadler said on Twitter.

[,,,]

Meanwhile, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, said the decision reflected “the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history.”

“Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. His lies do not now become truths,” Schiff said in a tweet. “This dismissal does not exonerate him. But it does incriminate Bill Barr.”

Nobody will ever be able to top Holder/Lynch in that regard. Sessions did not politicize anything only because he was 'the invisible man'. He didn't do anything except hide under his desk for two years. I guess that is a cowardly form of politicization.

“Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. His lies do not now become truths,” Schiff said in a tweet. “This dismissal does not exonerate him. But it does incriminate Bill Barr.”

Obama, Biden, Comey, Yates, Rice and Brennan Discussed Flynn-Kislyak Calls in January 2017 Secret Oval Office Meeting
By Cristina Laila
Published May 7, 2020 at 5:49pm

2020 Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden was in the January 2017 Oval Office meeting discussing General Flynn’s phone calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak with Obama, Yates, Comey, Rice and Brennan.

The Justice Department dropped its case against General Mike Flynn Thursday after bombshell documents released proved he was framed by Comey’s FBI.

On January 4, 2017, just ONE DAY before the Oval Office meeting, the FBI field office found “No derogatory information” on Flynn and decided to close the counterintelligence probe dubbed Crossfire Razor.

On January 5th, 2017, then-FBI Director James Comey held a secret meeting in the Oval Office before he traveled to Trump Tower New York to brief president-elect Donald Trump on the Hillary-funded junk Russia dossier.  ...

Obama dismissed part of the group and told Yates, Biden, Rice, and Comey to stick around for a follow-up conversation in the Oval Office. ...

My error, as I meant Edmund Randolph, our first Attorney General.
Washington heaped praise on him for his political insights.
Recall that Washington was first a British Officer and later our
Commander-in-Chief; w/o virtually any political smarts.
So Randolph filled that need which was compounded by the fact that
we were a new-born nation-state. Stay well!

Obama started by saying he had 'learned of the information about Flynn' and his conversation with Kislyak about sanctions. Obama specified he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently, given the information. At that point, Yates had no idea what the President was talking about, but figured it out based on the conversation. Yates recalled Comey mentioning the Logan Act, but can't recall if he specified there was an 'investigation,'" it continues.

That phone call became part of the FBI's justification to interview Flynn on January 24, 2017. Ahead of that meeting, notes show agents planned to get Flynn to lie in order to pursue criminal prosecution or get him fired.  ...

Now comes the real test of Donald Trump, President, Chief law enforcement officer. Will he seek justice against Saint Obama’s role in America’s first intelligence agency coup to depose a sitting president?

If anyone had the chutzpah to do it, it would be Donald Trump.

You realize that any true reprecussions or actions taken against  his predecessors would require congressional collaboration.  Sadly, this will not escalate past rhetoric.

True, in a sane world, the court of public opinion would crucify these sins of Obama, et. al.    With...   the utlimate judge being the electorate in November.   Problem we have is a complicit MSM, who is out to get Trump, and will bury any scandal news on the Obama Cabal on page 12.

Plus, and instead of the focus being reversed on the dims, watch the MSM run with a narrative that Flynn was wrongly released by a crooked Trump government.  The truth means nothing to them.

Bigun,
My error, as I meant Edmund Randolph, our first Attorney General.
Washington heaped praise on him for his political insights.
Recall that Washington was first a British Officer and later our
Commander-in-Chief; w/o virtually any political smarts.
So Randolph filled that need which was compounded by the fact that
we were a new-born nation-state. Stay well!

Thanks!  I couldn't imagine who you were talking about.

Another thing to ponder?

Given Mueller's inability to answer even the most basic questions regarding HIS REPORT in his appearance before the Senate Committee...

Translates that the real culprits are among that circle.

And one last thing, please?

Why are ANY of those people still employed by the federal government?  For NATIONAL SECURITY reasons!!

They are co-conspirators in an act of TREASON against the United States of America.

Ergo, why isn't his a$$ gone?   

At the very least, suspended with no pay, no pension availability.

These people tried to overturn an Election using the executive floor of the FBI and DOJ.   

They should be already in custody awaiting a military tribunal, and upon conviction, executed.

Here it is...FOUR YEARS later and nobody has even been indicted.

Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation
Susan Rice's bizarre Inauguration Day email about that meeting helps explain the campaign of leaks, lies, and obstruction that followed.
By Mollie Hemingway
May 8, 2020
Quote
Information released in the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case it brought against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn confirms the significance of a January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama White House. It was at this meeting that Obama gave guidance to key officials who would be tasked with protecting his administration’s utilization of secretly funded Clinton campaign research, which alleged Trump was involved in a treasonous plot to collude with Russia, from being discovered or stopped by the incoming administration.

“President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia,” National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote in an unusual email to herself about the meeting that was also attended by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI Director James Comey, and Vice President Joe Biden.

A clearer picture is emerging of the drastic steps that were taken to accomplish Obama’s goal in the following weeks and months. Shortly thereafter, high-level operatives began intensely leaking selective information supporting a supposed Russia-Trump conspiracy theory, the incoming National Security Advisor was ambushed, and the incoming Attorney General was forced to recuse himself from oversight of investigations of President Trump. At each major point in the operation, explosive media leaks were a key strategy in the operation to take down Trump.

Not only was information on Russia not fully shared with the incoming Trump team, as Obama directs, the leaks and ambushes made the transition chaotic, scared quality individuals away from working in the administration, made effective governance almost impossible, and materially damaged national security.  ...

There has been all kinds of mounting evidence on different people up until this point.  No one has been indicted.  MSM isn't even reporting this.  So, this is once again, nothing.  Nothing is going to happen to anyone involved in the corruption.  They'd have to start at the top beginning with Obama.  They are not going to indict the first Black president and certainly not Clinton. Biden is up for election and it is becoming clear why he was made the nominee; if the GOP and Barr pursue any of this, it will look like they are going after Biden so that Trump can win.  I think we all know that's how the DEMS are going to spin this.  Meanwhile, Biden and the DEMS will get away with all the corruption; false Russian collusion, bogus impeachment, Burisma, Ukraine, etc., and probably even the spread of COVID-19.

The pattern has been, up until now, to drop any prosecutions that might eventually lead to O'Bastard.  We'll have to see if that continues.  If they really do break that pattern, then O'Bastard will still get off the hook by being named an "Unindicted Co-conspirator."  So far, all the McCabes, Clappers and Brennans of the world have been skating, and pretending that since they haven't been prosecuted they must be as pure as the driven snow.

We have a history of not prosecutor former Presidents, because if we do that a future crooked President might resist leaving office at the end of the term.

As I said to another Member who loves to throw old Trump quotes in our faces, what he did and said early on has little bearing to what happens now, because people learn.  When they find they are wrong about something, they either change their minds or deny they were ever "wrong."  It's up to the observer to determine which is operative.

And yeah, I wish he had gone after the fertile environment of Clinton crimes but he didn't, and now we're all reaping the whirlwind of criminals who re-offend because they weren't punished for earlier crimes.  If we don't start seeing corruptocrats heading to jail, this country will not be saved.  We've all been yelling this into our hats since the Clinton Crime Wave of the 1990's.  It's only gotten worse.

Old quotes have a way of popping up when there’s people wanting the same kind of justice on blatantly criminal people that was promised and not delivered in the past.

What’s that line that goes “past behavior is the best predictor future behavior”

I never expected him to lock Hillary up. But there’s people here that voted for him based on that and are most likely under the belief someone from the Obama Crime Family is going to get locked up for this travesty.

It’s Charlie Brown and Lucy holding the football for him yet again.

From what I’m reading in the article I posted earlier from Mollie Hemingway...Sessions was ambushed by the same people that framed Flynn from almost the same time they hit LTG Flynn. He was left with no choice but to recuse himself based on what Comey and the rest of the DoJ at the direction of the Oval Office were plotting to do to the Trump team even before the transition was finished.
