DOJ has MAJOR announcement: Flynn a free man

The New Neo Posted on by

Those of us who’ve followed Flynn’s persecution/prosecution from the start concluded years ago that Flynn was railroaded. But in the last few days we really know, because incontrovertible evidence came out – so much evidence that even the few honest people left who had previously doubted it could doubt it no more. For example, CNN analyst James Gagliano wrote a piece on May 4th that said:

…[F]urther irrefutable proof emerges that a small cabal of FBI headquarters decision-makers was hellbent on undoing a presidency.

I know it sounds strange to hear me make such an accusation. I’m the guy who long attempted to thread the needle, accounting for honest human frailties, trusting that mistakes should not always be chalked up to malice or sinister intent. Cautious skepticism was a default mindset that served me well across a quarter century as an FBI investigator. That condition failed me here because one thing is clear.

Michael Flynn got railroaded.

And the DOJ has heartily concurred:

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 the president and his supporters in attacking the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation.

The action was a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the past three years have maintained that Flynn lied to the FBI in a January 2017 interview about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.

That’s the AP story, trying desperately to make it seem as though Flynn is somehow guilty, because “prosecutors maintained” for three years that he lied. I could go on and fisk the whole article, which is an exercise in typical “Republicans pounce” crapola and manages to postpone and mostly avoid talking about the overwhelming evidence that the entire thing was a perjury trap set with malice aforethought and knowledge by the FBI and Obama’s DOJ that there was no wrongdoing at all. But why should I bother? We know the drill; the press will do what the press will do.

Meanwhile, Flynn, Trump, and Sidney Powell – Flynn’s most recent lawyer, who is a veritable bulldog – get to celebrate.

And I hope that Flynn’s prosecutors, his former defense lawyers, and everyone in the FBI and DOJ responsible for the travesty of justice and attempted coup that the Flynn entrapment represented, is shaking in their boots right now. Although I doubt it.

DOJ has MAJOR announcement: Flynn a free man — 24 Comments

  1. I await the legal proceedings against the seditious scum who attempted a coup against the POTUS. They should be given long jail sentences and forced to disgorge the millions they have made. They should be forced to make whole all whom they have harmed. Flynn should get MILLIONS of $$ from them.

    Comey, Brennan, etc should end up as beggars.

    I pray for justice to prevail. If this does not happen, our republic is finished.

  2. Flynn should sue for compensation for his legal fees, defamation of character, and pain and suffering; if feasible. Powell should be praised for her tenacity.

  3. Absolutely agree (and it’s worth saying twice, though I would add that all those others whose lives were ruined and whose families’ lives were ruined should be given some kind of recompense and succor for having been terrorized by these psychopaths in the former administration).

    And, as AesopFan has been reminding us, it will soon be Adam Schiff’s turn to start getting a wee bit nervous.
    File under: Genesis 3:11

  4. Today has been a good day. The war isn’t won yet but we had a couple big victories.

  5. Are the prosecutors and FBI leadership liable to prosecution themselves for misconduct? In any case, Flynn needs to sue to recover his legal fees and other losses, plus punitive damages. I hope that’s possible.

  7. I’m all for compensating Flynn, but you do realize that officials who lose lawsuits regarding their official acts get bailed out by the taxpayers.
    I’m also all for changing that to personal liability, with a high bar to discourage nuisance lawsuits — you know, the ones that are kind of like Special Counsel Investigations.

  9. Barry Meislin:

    Yes, that was the immediate thrust of the MSM/left/Democrat spin, that this is some sort of unfair politically-motivated movement by Barr.

    It is indeed Orwellian, but that’s the way the left rolls: deflect by accusing others of what you yourself do. The correction of a politically motivated miscarriage of justice is labeled as a politically motivated miscarriage of justice.

    This is what they do. It’s second nature. Whether they coordinate the message or just know it all by heart by now is unclear, but that’s the drill.

  10. Barry Meislin:

    The Dems, etc., always knew this would be their defense to anything Barr would do that they didn’t like: say it’s all political. They tried to discredit him that way from the very start, before he’d done a thing.

  11. The most particularly peculiar bit of fact I have learned today in this enormous tidalwave of news revelations (so much who can keep up or assimilate it all?):

    Byron York, twitter — “The January 5, 2017 meeting in which Sally Yates said she learned of Flynn-Kislyak call from President Obama himself — Susan Rice and VP Joe Biden were in that meeting, too, per Rice’s famous memo-to-self.”

    See the tweet itself which has screenshots of parts (but unfortunately not all) of the revelatory documents.

  13. sdferr,

    Dan Bongino, on his podcast show, has been all over that January 5th meeting for a while now. He’s become the only guy I listen to every day.

  14. At this point I would love to see Sidney Powell on Mount Rushmore–what a woman!!

  15. Or, *Powell for POTUS 2024*!
    BTW, still no Wiki entry on her. How long will it take them, to post some hatchet job against her?

  16. aNanyMouse – if the Wiki editors are smart, they will limit themselves to giving her public vitae and make absolutely no comment about her work.
    One wrong step, and she will own them (literally).

  17. sdferr – thanks for the links, but can you explain to me why documents inside a Tweet are impossible to read, because they seem to chop off a lot on the margins.
    Is there some way to access the original of the Tweeted doc?

  18. I’m not sure what you’re seeing AesopFan, but if you click on the doc image it should appear whole as copied by the tweeter, with any second doc already loaded to be viewed by either scrolling sideways or sweeping a finger on a tablet. Hope that helps. (I haven’t seen these particular docs in other forms or places, by the by.)

  20. Fractal Rabbit:

    Yep, Dan Bongino (with his sources) and real journalists (cited by Dan) has been covering the in’s and out’s of this persistently and thoroughly since in kicked off years ago. No Qanon BS or tin foil hat stuff either.

  22. I suspect Flynn’s crackerjack lawyer, Sydney Powell, is holding off on serving the papers on Flynn’s prior law firm, Covington Burling, until the ink is dry on the judge’s signature approving the dismissal of charges. And I really, really wouldn’t want Sydney Powell mad at me. Covington Burling won’t do well in the discovery phase of that lawsuit.

  23. I loved Ben Shapiro’s comment:

    “Gonna be amazing when Trump appoints Flynn to head the FBI, and Flynn then prosecutes a variety of Democrats for violating the Logan Act.”

    I think that, if it ever happened, would perhaps be the greatest day for our Republic since the surrender of Cornwallis.

  24. Gov’t officials, and ex-officials, who violated gov’t rules while doing something, should not get taxpayer relief from any criminal or civil legal punishment.

    And Flynn should be suing Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe in civil court for millions in damages.

    I’m so angry about the injustice, and the effectiveness of Dem media to claim that only now is the DOJ being politicized.

    Obama’s FBI was committing crimes against innocent Americans.
    Obama’s FBI was committing crimes against innocent Americans.
    Obama’s FBI was committing crimes against innocent Americans.
    …

    But until there are indictments of gov’t criminals, Dems will pretend otherwise. Even after indictments.
