Based on new revelations it was a setup by the FBI.

These guys in this Administration keep doing unethical and corrupt things almost on a daily basis.

Nothing is surprising anymore...

The justice department has to change its name – it is not about justice anymore, if it ever was---- I am not sure what it should be called going forward, but ‘justice’ is now definitely a misnomer

Trump administration also asked SC to stop release of Mueller material!

Just learn that very few in the west wing of the white house wears mask --- guess that’s a positive thing

This is the reason why Mitch McConnel has been on the mission of stacking the Courts with what they say are CONservative Judges, the strategy looks to be working.

True, but with nothing else to hold on to, I have to lean on this Martin Luther King saying - “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” --- otherwise, hopelessness and helplessness creeps in, followed by depression - these are such troubling times

I was wondering why Barr was so quiet.

Former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe has released a blistering statement after DOJ dropped charges against Michael Flynn:

"Today’s move by the Justice Department has nothing to do with the facts or the law — it is pure politics designed to please the president."

This administration is something else. The new prosecutor that Barr appointed to free him recommended the same and Barr agreed. He is the only one that signed it while the Mueller prosecutor removed himself from the proceedings. Like he did in 78 Barr is going seal up everything in this case for 5 years.

He should go after Mueller next which would serve him right.

The DOJ kicked away its own foot by releasing materials related to the case last week. These materials were not really substantial in proving anything. Meanwhile they in court trying to prevent the release of grand jury materials that will provide the substance of Flynns lies and Russian contacts.

Sad to say but I in a way agree with you – Mueller was a wimp – I don’t know where he got that stellar reputation from. His performance before congress was abysmal, whether it was age or not he was awful.

Nadler just requested the AG come to Congress and explain. cool

Bar is not going to go. The judge should say to Flynn – well you lied to me in court when you said you were guilty, correct? OK, for lying to the court I sentence to you to 5 years in prison – you are now remanded immediately. By the time Trump can prepare pardon papers he would have spent some time in the poke

Mueller thought he was dealing with honorable people. Barr went after him early and he never recovered. He went to congress and when you thought he would bust the thing wide open when he saw the direction it was going in, he pretended/or maybe he was going senile.

The Judge still has the last say

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to block Congress from seeing grand jury secrets gathered by the special counsel, Robert Mueller, saying the executive branch would suffer irreparable harm if lawmakers see the evidence.

Hmmm Irreparable harm huh shock
