Justice Dept. drops case against Michael Flynn, Trump's first national security adviser
Donald Trump's thoroughly corrupt Justice Department today dropped its criminal case against Michael T. Flynn, President Trumps first national security adviser, who pleaded guilty previously to lying to F.B.I. agents about his conversations with a Russian diplomat.
The Justice Department said it had concluded that Flynns interview by the FBI was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBIs counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn.

Trump said he was very happy after the Justice Department, led by Attorney General and noted scumbag Bill Barr, suddenly announced intent to drop criminal charges against Flynn on Thursday.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said the move incriminates Bill Barr, in the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history.
Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts.
His lies do not now become truths.
This dismissal does not exonerate him.
But it does incriminate Bill Barr.
In the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history.

And never forget, from 2017:
Read the restI had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI.
