TheView DISGUSTING

ABC..when do you plan to show all the documents showing what really happened to Flynn? Or, are you afraid of how they will discredit the lies you have spread for years?

TheView I see the terminally stupid will never let go of the fact that Gen Flynn 'pleaded guilty' even THOUGH it was only to keep the criminal elements within the FBI going after his Son! PERIOD! Anyone who denies this is either a bold-faced liar OR a complete imbecile!

TheView Justice for Flynn

The Jerry Springer Show in the White House. Trumps a clown.

In other words he told Barr to drop the charges.

Mr. PRESIDENT, what better way to show our respect than to REAPPOINT MICHAEL FLYNN TO SECRETARY OF DEFENSE!!

TheView Finally the truth is being revealed. General Flynn has served his country with honor and grace for 33 years. He did what he did to protect his family against the lying deceiving libs/dems. Adam shifty and comes to name 2 among many..who wouldnt? Shifty and comey are shameful!!

Die hard Dems when you say the FBI tried to use entrapment on General Flynn.

But Trump fired him for lying to the vise president. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I hope the senators on Republican side Will Pay the price, or impeach the attorney general. from dayone, Senator Graham Mitch McConnell to blame cooking everything. they know that president is going to be in trouble over and over,so they have to put someone to coverup.

finally Flynn is getting justice, What they did to him should never happen, Just to get the president, He has been fully exonerated, Transcripts on the Russian probe where released, Schiff and the democrats lied they knew there was no collusion, This is treason

a banana republic if you can keep it.

A fellow liar. Birds of a feather... Rats of a Pack!

Then why did u fire him if he such great guy

Correct me if I'm wrong but....wasn't Obama already out of office when this crap happened? I think this is all to appease our thin-skinned, egomaniac of a tyrant that's posing as President of the US.

The Trump Courts

TheView 🖕

the law doesn't matter to him. as long as he can find a way to get what he wants.

TheView It was getting close to election time and Donald Trump needed to tie up loose ends that way he could lie to the American people without evidence

As a country we are fucked

Why did he fire such a fine man?

Since when does someone get a case dismissed when they plead guilty? Oh when the president says to dismiss it. That DOJ is a joke. Just like our president.

The Justice Department did the right thing. Michael Flynn was an innocent man who had served his country honorably.

Trump ordered this and the noted Buttlicker Barr rammed it through. There is currently no one at home in the US DOJ. We are fucked.

it is no longer the pandemic killing high numbers of Americans & our economy-its Trump's pandemic RESPONSE, which has been horribly mismanaged. EGO. Narcissist. It didn't have to be this way. Its the product of his leadership & choices he's made. Womanizer and racist little man

Time for u, ABC, to tell truth about the Obama coup tried against Trump. The ENTIRE Obama administration are TRAITORS!! They committed a FELONY! I look forward to Comey & the group going to prison!!!

How he can it gets dishonest and scum. He should look in the mirror when he goes name calling. Those same words fit him exactly

He gets defeated in November and he’s in jail in February. We will once again be great!!

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

TheView Thank you ladies TheView for supporting President Trump.

So Flynn, who betrayed his country is a great warrior. McCain, who fought for his country and was a POW isn't. so says a five time draft dodging imbecile

Probably because he had something to do with it. Just sick.

TerryMoran The FBI lied on FISA warrants, entrapped people, and endorsed a special counsel over Russia B.S.they fell for. Time for the treason trials.

GMA TerryMoran PierreTABC Please clarify. Now you're allowed to lie to the FBI without punishment. Can you lie to state and local law enforcement as well? How about in court or to Congress? Thanks

I bet he did more than feel it. Lie to FBI, great warrior. Commit war crimes, great person. Spend yrs as a prisoner of war, not a war hero. Got it Commander Bone Spurs. What a corrupt and incompetent POS!

He KNEW it was going to happen. I would bet money that Barr and him did this (if I had any).

He “felt” this because he was briefed this morning.

Gen Flyn has evidence against donald?

Shouldn't have had to fight against a hostile department of justice who only wanted to try and find dirt on the president.

TheView I ordered it to happen.... not “felt it was going to happen”.

TerryMoran Look I will spell it out for you, Mueller et al all knew the dossier was BS so tried to justify the SC by prosecuting Flynn, for not remembering WORD for WORD a telephone conversation way back! You have been lied too by Schiff, Pelosi, Media. Comprehend yet...........

TheView He's a traitor and so is trump.

TerryMoran PierreTABC This was a travesty of Justice prosecuting Flynn to begin with. The Justice Department should never search for crimes in which to charge Americans. Flynn went bankrupt over the 3 years of a Justice Department that targeted him and went rogue!

Confessed criminal.

the US is frightening place to live in right now

realDonaldTrump Rip the Band-Aid off and expose them all:

TerryMoran Trump and his lackeys at justice freed a crooked friend of trumps is all.

TheView TerryMoran PierreTABC Justice is a fantasy.

You miss spoke - you ordered it to happen!!!! Do u think we’re as stupid as you!!! Waiting for you to reincarnate Hitler or Mussolini for your cabinet.

Super.

and Trump strikes again!!!🤣😹

Did trump order it🤔

Dunroamin4ever TerryMoran PierreTABC It was a contrived witch hunt against a decorated Patriot. He only pleaded guilty because the FBI were otherwise going to prosecute his son. Hardly a conclusive case. Mueller and his henchmen should be jailed for this. WWG1WGA 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Trump2020 Plandemic FlynnFighters

TerryMoran seanhannity SaraCarterDC jsolomonReports WERE ALL CORRECT IN THEIR REPORTING, WHICH YOU, THE MSM, CONTINUED TO IGNORE DUE TO YOUR TDS

TerryMoran PierreTABC No even slight mention that the FBI set him up and planned to entrap him regardless? “What is our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” the notes read.

TerryMoran PierreTABC And if that doesn't work, realDonaldTrump and AGBarr will find a way to pardon him

TerryMoran PierreTABC Though a tragic miscarriage of justice, let’s not forget that a “story” like this generally serves as camouflage for something more dubious.

TerryMoran Did you read the goddamn documents? It was all a scam. Journalism is DEAD.

TerryMoran Justice for Flynn!

TerryMoran This great proves the government was corruption I bet obummer and killary are shaking in there shoes now dig deeper show the corruption by dems

TerryMoran Flynn made mistakes, but a out of control FBI wanted to remove Trump from office. Comey has made millions off his lies. That needs to be taken, and his retirement needs to be taken. He is a crook.

TerryMoran goodbye dearest rule of law you will be sorely missed

TerryMoran Justice actually working baby!!!! Love to see it

PierreTABC we are now a lawless nation

The fascists will cheer.

And more to come! The Left and the DOJ spent 3 years on this made up bullshit on our dime and the MSM bought it.

Очень круто

How exactly can a case be dropped against a defendant who has pleaded guilty? Twice.

Hip Hip Horray! Justice was served!

Didn't he plead GUILTY?

Translation: Justice Department moves to dismiss justice. We all now have precedent to plead guilty to lying to the FBI and then get said charges dismissed.

FINALLY! JUSTICE FOR ALL UNDER THE LAW! CONGRATULATIONSAMERICA

On what basis?

Quietly expected

A partisan TheJusticeDept that sounds like it knows a regime change is coming.

Damn..you'd think he just hunted down and murdered a black man going for a jog! JusticeForAhmaudArbery

We might as well live in a banana republic 🤷🏻‍♂️ guess it’s OK to lie to the FBI and the VP

MORE: In the filing, the DOJ said, 'Based on an extensive review and careful consideration of the circumstances, that continued prosecution of this case would not serve the interests of justice.'

The Trump Justice Dept is dropping charges against Flynn one of his National Security Advisors? Shocking?

I hope the judge tells them to get bent. You can't get this far and then change course without it being obvious you have shady motives.

Great way to keep the President from having to use a “controversial” pardon.

Now lets go after those corrupt Democrats...it was another hoax ...non stop they will do anything to destroy this country! America! I just have to add that because the majority of liberals hate this great land. USA.

“We must respect the rule of law.” Sure seems conservative whites could careless lately...

Jesus christ the department of justice is now fully corrupt and a puppet to Trump's corruption.

Barr is going to jail.

🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

You might want to report on the exculpatory evidence that was withheld from the court.

Corruption at its best.

He should sue for billions... including suing ABC

Corruption in plain sight

AG Barr should be DisBarred

For a guy who plead guilty no less. Some sweet sweet privilege going on right there. Laws do not apply to Trump or his loyalists.

The onslaught begins..... VoteTrump2020

Bill Barr is at it again!

dont worry 99% of the population will have no idea rule of law just left the building
