CevallosLaw How stupid is this? This has nothing to do with political connections. This has to do with all of our Constitutional rights and the Obama administration's efforts to thwart those by working with NBC to overthrow an election.

CevallosLaw Illusory tool of justice? I’d just say, Corruption at it’s highest level.

CevallosLaw Good article, but the context matters. To give context to the point made here: If a corrupt government can do this to a reputable general because he is a political enemy, and they are unhappy with the results of an lawful election, think about what they can do to YOU.

CevallosLaw At least people should give this a listen

Justice Department drops criminal case against Flynn days after Trump revived his attacks on the investigation“It is breathtaking dishonesty from the Justice Department,” fmr. DOJ chief spokesman Matthew Miller says on Michael Flynn's case being dropped. “It is a sign that if you are friend of the president, you will get different treatment from Bill Barr.” Oh the irony of the lies by msDNC propagandists. The irony is the travesty of justice is clearly how Comey and Co. handled the Flynn case. But msdnc viewers will never learn the actual truth being fed partisan propaganda. Breathtaking is an apt descriptive word here.

Matt Miller: DOJ decision to drop Flynn case is a ‘miscarriage of justice’Matt Miller tells Lawrence O’Donnell that the Justice Department’s “absurd argument” to drop the charges against Michael Flynn despite his guilty pleas shows Attorney General Barr is giving him “special treatment” as he has in other cases stemming from the Mueller investigation: “That’s terrifying for how the rule of law exists in this country.” Joyce Vance also joins. The USA had a good run, we tried our best... So what else they need to no 🦶🏽

Barr defends dropping Flynn case: 'I'm doing the law's bidding'AG William Barr said the Justice Department had a 'duty' to move to dismiss the charges against President Trump's first national security adviser Michael Flynn. He denied that he was doing the bidding of the President. 'No, I'm doing the law's bidding.' The man plead guilty to a Federal crime. There’s no wiggle room here. This is nothing more than a complete breakdown of the rule of law. Lol huh? Would like legal transparency then
