BREAKING: DOJ is dropping case against Michael Flynn!

by The Right Scoop

It’s just being reported by the Associated Press that the Department of Justice is dropping their criminal case against Michael Flynn:

Here’s more:

AP – The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution that became a rallying cry for Trump and his supporters in attacking the FBI’s Russia investigation.

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.” The documents were obtained by The Associated Press.

The Justice Department said it had concluded that Flynn’s interview by the FBI was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn” and that the interview on January 24, 2017 was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.”

The U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, Jeff Jensen, recommended the move to Attorney General William Barr last week and formalized the recommendation in a document this week.

“Through the course of my review of General Flynn’s case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case,” Jensen said in a statement. “I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed.”

Absolutely fantastic! Michael Flynn will finally be free of this madness. And since they are dropping the case, I hope that the federal government will also fork over some money to Flynn and his family for all the hell that he’s been put through.

UPDATE: I should note that the lead prosecutor on the case, who had been part of the Flynn case from the beginning, suddenly withdrew from the case today:
