"Justice Department ceases Michael Flynn prosecution

The Justice Department is ceasing its prosecution of retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn on charges of lying to federal investigators; Chief White House correspondent John Roberts reports.

The decision by the Department of Justice to drop criminal charges against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is critical to restoring confidence in the Department of Justice.

The now revealed FBI effort to entrap this patriotic American who had served his country in uniform for more than thirty years and was director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and President Trump’s short-lived National Security Adviser was shameful. But it was far from the only dishonorable episode of the FBI under its former director James Comey.

Comey and other politicized Department of Justice officials openly meddled in the 2016 election. They spied on American citizens without proper justification, circulated Russian disinformation in the form of a dossier, and conspired to have a special counsel appointed all in an attempt to remove a duly elected President Donald J. Trump from office.

Even though Comey was chastised by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz for violating Justice Department and FBI policies, Comey has yet to face any real legal consequences that his actions deserve. This is even as he bragged about violating standard practice in sending FBI agents to interview (and entrap) General Flynn, saying it was “something I probably wouldn’t have done or gotten away with in a more…organized administration.”"
