A slim majority of Americans support the DOJ’s action to drop the case against Michael Flynn, according to a new poll:
THE HILL – Fifty-one percent of voters polled said they supported the move, while 49 percent said they opposed it.
The poll comes less than a week after a National Security Agency document made public on Wednesday showed 39 former Obama administration officials, including former Vice President Joe Biden, asked to “unmask” the identity of an American who had come up in intelligence briefings based on his conversations with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Flynn, who was already a senior member of Trump’s national security team, was revealed to be that person.
That majority increased a little when facts about the case were given to respondents:
The same poll found that 53 percent of respondents said they supported the decision after being made aware of potential FBI process breaches, while another 47 percent said they still opposed the move.
“[The] public narrowly sided with the Justice Department’s actions on Gen. Flynn but increased their support when told about some of the facts surrounding the motion to dismiss the case,” Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll Director Mark Penn told The Hill.
“It has become highly partisan rather than fact-based as nearly half the voters think he was charged with colluding or coordinating with Russia,” he continued.
It’s honestly crazy that anyone would oppose the DOJ dropping the case. But this is what happens when people listen to lying Democrats who just want to defeat Trump rather than anything else.
