Attorney General William Barr is ordering a re-examination of several high-profile cases, including that of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, US officials briefed on the matter say

US Attorney Jeffrey Jensen of St. Louis has been tasked with taking a second look at some aspects of the sensitive cases, one of the officials said. It was not clear which other cases were under review, and what form the reviews had taken.The revelation, first reported by The New York Times, comes days after Barr's Justice Department undercut career prosecutors in the case of Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone to recommend a reduced sentence.

Read MoreFlynn's new legal counsel has argued in court filings that the former national security adviser was ambushed in the January 2017 interview in an instance that was part of a larger pattern of abuses by the FBI. But a federal judge has rejected that claim and been harshly critical of Flynn's tactics.The prospect of the Justice Department putting new scrutiny on the case would be a victory for Flynn and his legal team.

Cool story so why don’t you report on Bernie Sanders more? 🤔

AG Barr a very principled man... Working with President Trump to root out corruption...

President Trump rooting out corruption... Report the news correctly CNN. Sham investigation by FBI... General Flynn was lied to by FBI agents. Again for emphasis President Trump is rooting out corruption.

TraitorTrump withdrew from the Status of Forces Agreement with the Philippines, effectively losing the Philippines as an ally. China can now take over South China Sea and Russia can supply military aid. Trump basically sold out the US to Putin and Xi, for more Trump hotels.

Yes, corruption at work, Barr will do what trump says, Flynn will soon be out 👎, the trump corruption 🦇 goes on. Go. Bernie 🕊

This unfair two tier system of justice must be fixed! When you have dems committing crimes and absolutely nothing happens we have a problem MCABE clearly lied it's in the I.G report! The republicans get set up in a perjury trap and are sent away for decades! Something is wrong!🚫

So crooked!

This American Trump goverment is so corrupt..

AG Barr needs to crawl out of the crannies and tell the American people what he’s doing on behalf of Trump rather than leaving it up to investigative journalism to find out.

Here we go. Too good to believe Barr.

He already pled guilty.

While he’s at it. Why not re-examine Jared Kushner’s father’s conviction? and strike it clear from the records so he could continue to do business again without any red flags 💩 DrainTheSwamp

Trump is undermining all public institutions for his own sake.

Rightfully so guys are in jail wrongfully charged

Good. Many are going to prison and all the leftist elites are running scared

Barr looks untrustworthy when he respons and is seemingly untrustworthy.

Yes it looks like a right wing coup....

This is required to ensure justice is not perverted. Everything Mueller touched stinks to high heaven.

I’d call these idiots the 3 blind mice but Jesus, look at em, you could stuff cheese into their mouths, neither has the mental capacity to stay alive as a mouse longer than the movie Cats stays in theatres !

See. All tweeting all the all. All talking about everybody behind their backs doubletalkers.

He has made millions and millions and millions of Americans hopeful justice will be done. This case was a farce right from the start and shouldn't have even been allowed. The corruption involved in this is disgusting and has diminished the faith in the justice system in the USA.

Nearly Two-Thirds Of All Voters Believe President Trump Will Win Big. Monmouth Poll

CNN is always after the President

If this president keeps acting like a king, I hope he’s not surprised when he gets booted like one too

Did you get Avenattis opinion?

PLS COMMENT ON AVENATTI CONVICTION?

Question is why? He pled guilty. Greasing the skids for a Pardon. Why is it taking so long to sentence these two Clowns 🤡? Anyone else would have been LOCKED up by now

Will please every sane person in country— that lets out CNN.

Trump don’t say a word say your thanks quietly

A fair move...Flynn’s life was destroyed for no reason.

..

And most the usa

Barr is Trumps Goon.

Well pretending to not being the most criminal AG didn’t last long.

Dems🤣🤣🤣

Go figure?

The White House’s Godfathers aka crime lord and chiefs taxpayer personal attorney at work. Barr’s interview yesterday was to calm the troops at the justice department, he didn’t mean a word he said!!!!

Oh but the rule of law and American democracy are the best in the world. Yeah right.

What does LowBarr turn his fat face on next? Roe v. Wade? Maybe Brown v. Board of Education?

It is sad that so much is built on trust. Unfortunately, the trust has been abused severally. DOJ has taken people for granted and is still playing DJT bidding. The interview of not wanting interference is a farce. So God help you all.

Flynn and McCabe swap. DRAIN THE SWAMP. Get Barr behind bars.

Yup, tRump Musta made a lot of promises to his cronies behind bars... & I’d follow their $ when all is done... Turning a Democracy into a Dictatorship has its Perks, when ya have an Aiding & Abetting Klan of Political Grifters Working FOR YOU👺🚫‼️

The Impeachment acquittal of realDonaldTrump should then be revisited as well

The FBI admitted some of the FISA were illegal. All cases should be tossed.

The rule of law and the institutions that American believe can save them from the dictator realDonaldTrump . Aurevoir l’ Amérique et droit de l homme

Not suspicious or anything

Of course.

Why are we still excusing Michael Flynn? Didn't he make a plea deal? Is Barr going to do some bending of the law? This is what bothers law abiding, tax paying citizens. I worry what is being neglected by Barr's choice to be distracted by what has already been decided by our court

Boris Johnson has cancelled his planned trip to the White House after Trump slammed the phone down on him in a moment of 'apoplectic' fury Rt Hon Boris Johnson is wise to cancel his visit to President Donald Trump as he tried to bully Boris. Keep away!

Good.....

realDonaldTrump is always lending a helping hand to his bro’s 😂

Barr installs outside prosecutor to review case against ex-Trump adviser Michael FlynnThe Justice Department recently opened an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the FBI's interview of Michael Flynn while he was serving as President Donald Trump's national security adviser, according to two people familiar with the inquiry. Flynn pleaded guilty to giving false statements to the FBI during that interview, but recently asked to withdraw that plea, further delaying his sentencing. Joke = MSNBC and their viewers. It is odd why he is charged for the exact same things Trump haters get a free pass for doing. The phony rebuke was always just a distraction. Barr knew this news was coming out and tried to do a bit of preemptive damage control. Nice try but no one is falling for it. ImpeachWilliamBarr
