I thought it was supposed to be a big week! Where’s the unsealed indictments and arrests? Where’s the bombshell Flynn exoneration? All I see is bullshit and lies from the MAGA crowd.

In Dealing with Flynn, Comey’s FBI Acted Like the KGB
What happened to Flynn is quite simply an atrocity. Everyone responsible should lose their jobs, if Flynn’s lawyers betrayed their client they should be disbarred, and the whole crew of plotters should be hauled off to jail. And Michael Flynn deserves his job back.

Yep. Won't hold my breath, though.

I didn’t think the DOJ dropped charges after people had already pled guilty.

Always learning something new.

No surprise. Remember that Bill Barr was instrumental to getting people pardoned in the Iran-Contra scandal. He knows that a Trump pardon for Flynn would have political repercussions -- so he's providing "legal" cover by (ab)using his power in DOJ to obtain the same result.

It's a shame really, Manafort is getting lonely.

But, but it doesn't matter if he is innocent, he pled guilty you can't drop the case.

‘Never Seen Anything Like This’: Experts Question Dropping of Flynn Prosecution

Barr says it was 'duty' to drop Flynn case: 'It upheld the rule of law'

Attorney General William Barr defended the Department of Justice's (DOJ) decision Thursday to move to drop the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn for charges of lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia in 2017.
Barr dismissed accusations that he's doing the "president's bidding" in moving to drop the case.
"I'm doing the law's bidding. I'm doing my duty under the law, as I see it," Barr told CBS News in an interview Thursday.
Barr said he was "not at all" influenced by President Trump regarding the case.
"I made clear during my confirmation hearing that I was gonna look into what happened in 2016 and '17. I made that crystal clear," Barr said. "I was very concerned about what happened. I was gonna get to the bottom of it. And that included the treatment of General Flynn."
After new documents were unsealed in Flynn's criminal case last month, Trump tweeted that "what happened" to Flynn "should never be allowed to happen to a citizen of the United States again."
Documents released last month fueled conservative claims that the FBI was out to entrap Flynn. The DOJ said in a court filing Thursday it no longer believed it could make a case against Flynn, a former three-star Army general.
Prominent Democrats, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Kamala Harris (Calif.), renewed calls for Barr to resign Thursday after the DOJ moved to drop the case against Flynn. Democrats accused Barr of making the decision out of Trump's interest, rather than the nation's.
Barr said he is "prepared" to face backlash.
"I also think it's sad that nowadays these partisan feelings are so strong that people have lost any sense of justice," Barr said. "And the groups that usually worry about civil liberties and making sure that there's proper procedures followed and standards set seem to be ignoring it and willing to destroy people's lives and see great injustices done."

Have you ever seen a case dropped after someone has pled guilty and the underlying facts demonstrate beyond any shadow of a doubt he is guilty. This is simply a pardon by another name.

Enjoy it.

Don't be mad Avro. Nobody says you can't hate Trump anymore. The fact that they busted corrupt FBI agents should be a welcoming development for anyone.

Yes I have. In a Capital Punishment class I took a man pled guilty to murdering a cop and got sent to Death Row. The cops had all the evidence and the man admitted to it. Of course the evidence was manufactured and the admission was coerced.



As one cop told me... if a cop gets killed in Texas, somebody is going to to the electric chair for it. It may not be the one who did it... but somebody is going to pay.
