Justice Department Asks Judge To Drop Michael Flynn Prosecution | MSNBC
The guy literally pleads guilty…..enter Bill Barr and it is no more….hmmmmmm
When your forced to plead guilty to stop the govt from destroying your children , then you plead guilty. Apparently you never researched the case. I spotted the frame job right off.
Ask the question< why were the charges against Flynn dropped? Everything is there to show you why the case was a frame job.
readhttps://theinsurgent.com/2020/05/08/doj-motion-to-drop-Flynn-case-is-troubling?yeah you need to down load to get whole thing, the FBI entrapped him, regardless of what other things he did, and that taints the case, hence charges dropped, same stuff happens in our world
Morons
Withheld exculpatory evidence was forced out days before the exoneration. That should tell you something about the case FBI attempted to screw him with.
Im so sick of this administration with their corruptions. 45 & his corrupt self. Only thing us Americans cam do is VOTE Nov, 💙😎🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

@Patriot Spring ok so your IQ is 12 then did you say
@Jarrod B Now who is being childish? You don’t want to know my real IQ.
@Patriot Spring oh I am sorry did i hurt your feelings ??? do you need to have a tantrum or yell at a reporter or maybe tweet about it ??
@Jarrod B No, not at all. You seem pretty triggered though.
@Patriot Spring if you say so
I hope all the Lawyers for Government working for Barr all quit.. He is not working for the US..
Look at this, another commentor who is completely and intentionally unaware of recent news.
OH look OBAMA DID THE SAME THING ” Holder said he took such dramatic action to reverse Stevens’ conviction in part due to prosecutors’ repeated failure to provide important and potentially exculpatory information to the defense team” LMFAO.. MAN you guys are ill informed ……
@Sean M Stevens was a Republican and certainly not an Obama lackey like Flynn, wasn’t he? So I guess it wasn’t the same thing, wasn’t it?
@Go For It ‘Cept when he said he lied to VP Pence and fired him.
@Dr ZenHammer Not to Flynn. He said he was guilty – twice.
Criminals are running the country….😐😐😐
@Paul Trump owes China 150 millions in loans and he praises the Chinese at the beginning of this then claimed it would not amount to anything until it became impossible to deny it
@IWashMyOwnBrain no trump is abusing the Constitution and the cowards in the republican party are letting him trump been financed for years by the russians
Criminals have always been running the country. That is called democracy.
@John Doe All forms of government are subject to corruption. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. But you aren’t wrong. Our government is rife with criminality.
Nope , obumer is gone , Comey fired , McCabe fired etc etc . Your echo chamber bubble is about to implode .
America is drowning in the swamp.
Hahahaha
@Chocho Cr 😂😂😂😂😂😂
REPUBLICANS SWAMPS CRIMINALS
Barr should be thrown in jail with the rest of them. What a corrupt administration
@Bryan Mayer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sad life you must live just think only 5 more years
LOL corruption this is the most corruptive abuse of the law. Everyone behind this BS should be behind bars especially Hillary Clinton and Comey.
@Karen Byrd Hillary said “if that f#@%*# Trump wins, we will all hang…now why would your hero say that? There ARE other sources for REAL news.
Your a moron.
Wow, something even sleezier than a pardon.
@Bryan Mayer explain your logic.
A pardon is an admission of guilt. Flynn will get off scot-free without suffering any punishment for a felony he pled guilty to last year.
These honorable people who were unAmericanly setup and railroaded by Obama will all soon be back in their gov and private positions!
@Rand Kocher So If I work for a foreign government and take payments from them and lie to the FBI about it, in violation of the law, would I also be honorable? Flynn says that is what he did. The honorable thing to do would be for him to take responsibility.
Some will see a military tribunal.
Our democracy (USA) is completely broken. Bottom line.
The full court press of
Bill (the lowest) Barr
on the Scales of Justice
The “scales” are on Trump’s belly
@Lars Jones I shudder over Melania’s visions of those ribald nether regions
The full Barr of your stupity is expected……CLOWN
13th Trait of the Rise of Fascism: Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability.
@Pontus Ekholm Ill address all your points.
“but some people do have experience managing epidemics such as the Ebola epidemic during the Obama administration”
Fine, and I am 100% sure they were utilize as they were not fired, they were moved/merged into other departments. Furthermore, why is a doctor qualified to manage an economy or supply chain during a global pandemic anymore than a non medical professor qualified to manage the supply/procurement/production side of a pandemic? Using your reasoning, there is no on qualified unless they have a degree in “manage global pandemics”. Sorry man, that’s not how it works. There are many pieces, simply because its a medical crisis doesn’t mean doctors have to manage every aspect of the crisis.
“I’m going to make the claim that they are better tasked for this job than private equity analysts.”
So, he was put in charge of a specific tasks, which I believe was tracking the utilization and distribution and supply of medical equipment. That’s it. Why is that a tasks for a person with a medical degree? Its not. It would be a WASTE of a doctors time. You act as if he was in charge of the entire operation, that is not true.
“Those surpluses are the result of state initiatives. They solved the PPE problem as much as they could without federal help, it’s only recently that the federal government started helping because they wasted time”
Thats just false. The feds worked with the states and many state governors thanked them. You clearly didnt watch the covid daily briefings.
“The US is still not performing well in a global perspective since other countries put people who know what they are doing in charge.”
Compared to whom? Your generalized statement is meaningless to me and it wont get by me. Start naming some countries that killed it that are 330 million people in size, have a decentralized government, a constitution guaranteeing rights, etc. I am sure N. Korea crushed it. LOL.
In the end, we managed to have surpluses of equipment, field hospitals that were never used, etc. So, while you can criticize Trump putting a family member on the team, the results speak for themselves.
I will also add, manage a pandemic should NEVER be left to medical professionals. That is a recipe for DISASTER. They would say “lock everything down until there is a cure”, because they are ONLY concerned with the medical aspect of the crisis. Meanwhile, people starve, everyone is out work, suicide rates go up, there are riots, etc.
If you take this administrations actions in the context that this is the ONLY pandemic every faced in over 100 Years, then their grade goes up. If you remove context and simply compare it with your idea of perfection, well, then your opinion is simply partisan.
@Pontus Ekholm yes. So my mistake, I retract that Hillary reference. The Treasonous Obama is your ‘Hero’. Good Enough. However, I’m not going to dignify anymore of your comments, BUT…the Great Mark Twain will:
“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”
FYI, I was a staunch Liberal/Democrat AND believe it or not, a Muslim. No kidding. Until Trump happened on the scene, and the rest as they say is…#walkaway
inlikeflynn Obama is not my hero either. He’s just a guy who’s some bad things and some good things. Better fit for president than Trump, sure, but you don’t need to be ”my hero” to be that.
@Pontus Ekholm 😉
@Pontus Ekholm u have documents to back up ur claims….if not, u saying stuff like that is just was bad as what Comey McCabe a strok. So unless u can PROVE ur statements, u too are slanderous and deranged
Banana republic, here we come…
Already there

Something smells rotten in Justice Department.
@bob Things we ve learned;
Gen Flynn was framed
Hillary and the DNC paid for the fake dossier with russians lies
Obamas FBI was a disgrace.
@Abc 123 <------------ Candidate for Twit of the Year award Vlad will be proud.
@Brian R. Dems have nothing without Russia narative, btw Mueller showed that Potus Trump has nothing to do with Russia, sorry.
@Abc 123 – you did not read the report.
There were over a dozen identified occurrences of back-channel meetings between a variety of Russian officials and operatives, and members of the Trump campaign. Most of the meetings coincided with cyber attacks on U.S. data systems, which is a federal crime.
The investigation also uncovered evidence of the business deal between Donald Trump and the Russian government to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, despite candidate Trump’s assertion that he “had nothing whatsoever to do with Russia”.
The fact that you do not understand the report does not diminish its findings.
Sorry.
@Brian R.I think u dont listened to Mueller, certainly Potus Trump did nothing illegal:
“There is insufficient evidence to convict for a charge of conspiracy with russian interference in the 2016 election”
https://youtu.be/AJfLORxgD3M
The Dems without Russia are losing control.
This is time to investigate the Obamas deep state criminal creatures and the coup against the duly electec Potus Trump.
Didn’t his first judge ask why he isn’t being charged with treason?
Bato Keto … Under President Barack Obama:
No arrests in his
campaign or administration.
No plea deals
No guilty pleas
No indictments
No hatred towards others
No demeaning, bullying or inhumane treatment towards others.
No racist or homophobic demeaning ideology towards his fellow American..
NO IMPEACHMENTS
The World Loves Barack Obama.
Donald J. Trump is the worst president in American history.
yea… then he apologized… “they” forgot to tell you that.
“The judge begins by clarifying that he wasn’t suggesting Michael Flynn committed treason, he was asking to get a sense of offenses — “I was just curious.” Prosecutor Brandon Van Grack says the government had NO reason to believe Flynn committed treason”
@Natural BB Then from what you say Trump is as big a moron because TRUMP AGREED WITH THE CHARGES. He is the stable genius right? So he should have seen the setup from the beginning or at least studied the notes like you did to come to that conclusion. Did you agree with your orange saviour when he tweeted about Flynns guilt? I bet you did. I bet you were talking about how flynn betrayed dear leader but now that the orange turd calls him a hero he is a hero right? You guys go around calling people brainwashed but cant remembet the last lie you told in defense of the pos potus.
Laura Zaboraski can’t be charged with treason unless we are in a declared war
Imagine YOU confessing to a Federal Crime and a legitimate conspiracy against your own government. You SIGNED the confession. Now…imagine…just imagine the Attorney General of the USA stepping into drop the entire case. Corruption at it’s worst.
@Constantine THIS is your argument? Of all the criminals who are pressured to confess due to their friends, family, criminal partners, etc….I guarantee this is the FIRST one that you’re whining about. And what kind of man signs a confession about this own guilt without fighting for his freedom? Bull*hit. He SIGNED a confession with his own signature, negotiated a deal and admitted guilt in court….but now, we’re supposed to believe it’s all because his family was now pressured. Guaranteed your never shed a tear for another criminal before ‘being pressured.’ Now, he’s magically innocent. How cowardly.
So you think it is cool that the FBI bugged the phone of an incoming National Security adviser. Really? What would you have said if Bush would have did that to obama? Back crying in the streets would be my guess.
@Constantine I think if ANYONE within a Presidency is making deals with a foreign government without the approval of the President, their phones can DEFINITELY be tapped to ensure the country’s safety.
Just not a thinker, are you? What, exactly, do you think his job was? He spoke to dozens of leaders or their representatives. It’s in the job description. This is why the left is losing their collective minds. Don’t get your news from cnn or any of the other mainstream jokes. The longer you stay in the dark, the longer they keep you clueless.
@Constantine Actually, the lack of thinking is on your behalf. I want you to pay attention to a few key points, if you can. 1. Review hundreds, if you can, of my last comments to other folks on different videos. I am not ‘On the left.’ I simply find corruption at any level unacceptable. 2. Flynn was caught, red-handed, talking to the Russians about sanctions without Presidential approval. 3. Then ( to Trump’s and Pence’s admittance), lied to the Vice President about it. 4. The lied to the FBI about it. 5. Walked into Federal court, raised his right hand, and swore to tell the truth. 6. While in court, Flynn told Judge Emmet Sullivan – “I lied to the FBI, I knew it was a crime and I have no defense to this action while doing it knowingly and voluntarily.” 7. At the end of his comments to Emmet Sullivan – “I know I am guilty and hereby plead guilty.” And your comment? “Nope….doesn’t count.” And you want me to believe that I may be losing my mind? For the rest of the history of justice, every single guilty plea means nothing….unless you want it to. How convenient.
Surely, this can’t be the same DoJ that has spent so much time trying to find something, anything, to charge Comey, Clinton, and how many other people whose offense was they got on the wrong side of Trump.
@Louis Cyfear I love you right on all fronts
@P Williams Barr is doing his job according to our laws. Are you really inferring that Trump has a low I.Q.? The man who completely outwitted both Obamas, both Clintons, The Democratic Party, 16 seasoned GOP opponents, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, REUTERS, AOL, YAHOO, GOOGLE, HuffPost, WaPo, SNL, The NYT, The FBI, etc.etc.etc.etc., with all of them doing everything in their power to defeat him? If Trump has a low I.Q., what does that say about your own intellect?
The man is many things, not all of them good, but stupid? No.
@Carlton Wilson wow you like to rant lol #BYEDON2020
@P Williams That would be my upper-high level, triple digit I.Q. citing facts.
@Carlton Wilson lmao right have a good one
Congratulations, America. You are now officially a Third World Country.
Yeah… We know…. And, gosh golly gee, we’re all so proud!
3rd countries are handling this pandemic efficiently.
@sigisecht WE’RE NOT A DEMOCRACY!!!!
What a corrupt system and all done in plain sight!
@Up’D and people still believe nothing is going on WE NEED TO WAKE UP
OK. Now we know the Justice Department has been totally corrupted.
@KsEF5 : If Flynn didn’t lie, then Trump lied when he said that Flynn did, in fact, lie to the FBI.
Here’s what Trump tweeted:
“I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies.”
https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/937007006526959618
@TelephoneToughGuy Also, Flynn plead guilty to lying to the FBI.
That happened when Obama took over.
@Brian J : Oh, OK. So it wasn’t corrupt under GW Bush? Also, Trump promised to drain the swamp. Instead, he chose to flaunt his administration’s corruption out in the open, because his base doesn’t care
@Rand Kocher You are being very unfair to all other US presidents.
This is what corruption at the highest levels looks like…
@Kitt Songstad The average liberals are beyond moronic and the average liberal males are HOMOSEXUAL.
tinyurl.com/y868xbr4 👀
Actually, the average Trump supporter knows exactly who Flynn is. The average non-Trump supporter doesn’t know the average Trump supporter knows exactly how patriotic and innocent Flynn is. Flynn and Rogers (Mike and Mike) are the truest patriots who will make the history books your grandchildren will study. Too bad you are missing this great history lesson in real life.
No, Hillary and Biden is what corruption at the highest levels looks like.
Roobah “The truest patriots” lol 😂 Because real U.S. patriots work with Muslim dictators in Turkey and Putin, then lie about doing so, then get fired for lying to the U.S. Vice President about it, then plead guilty to lying. Yeah…real patriot. What about the Tweet corrupt Donald said “I had to fire Flynn today because he lied to Pence.” You Trump worshippers are full of bleach…or disinfectant or CRAP.
You are a clueless wonder.
Talk about the domino theory. It’s gonna be glorious.
