The Justice Department is dropping criminal charges against Michael Flynn. |
White privilege once again rears its ugly head in the case against former National Security Advisor Flynn. He had the shortest term as National Security Advisor. Trump called the prosecution of Flynn a "witch hunt."
Despite lying to Mike Pence and federal agents and pleading guilty to the charges, the U.S. prosecutors were told to "stand down" on Flynn. The former advisor dropped his guilty plea and demanded a new trial.
Three years later, no charges.
Flynn tweets a cryptic picture of the American flag. Signalling he's getting off the hook.
The Department of Justice being held by William Barr, the controversial Attorney General of the United States said on Thursday that the criminal case against Flynn will be dropped.
Trump will claim that the FBI abused its powers when it investigated Flynn.
Trump said he may rehire Flynn back to the White House. |
Trump said this issue with Flynn is over.
"Now in my book, he's an even greater warrior," said Trump.
This move undermined the special prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation into Flynn's role with Russia and the Trump 2016 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."
Brandon Van Grack withdrew from the case and resigned today citing frustration with the case.
Flynn plead guilty in 2017 for lying to the FBI about interactions with Kislyak during Trump's transition.
Obama warned Trump that Russia had dirt on Flynn. Trump ignored that. Just like the pandemic response team and the economic growth under Obama. Trump fired FBI director James Comey shortly after. He wanted Comey to drop the investigation into Flynn.
It's only white!
Flynn, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort are under Trump's radar for a pardon and commutation.
Trump still won't release his federal taxes. If the Supreme Court rules in his favor that his taxes must remained sealed, that means Trump and future presidents will no longer disclose any foreign assets or criminal activity.
