The DOJ decision would appear to put an end to that process.
Earlier Thursday, the top prosecutor on the case, Brandon Van Grack, abruptly withdrew from the case, without explanation, in a brief filing with the court.
Breadcrumbs were being dropped in the days preceding the decision that his case could be reconsidered. Documents unsealed a week ago by the Justice Department revealed agents discussed their motivations for interviewing him in the Russia probe—questioning whether they wanted to“get him to lie” so he'd be fired or prosecuted, or get him to admit wrongdoing. Flynn allies howled over the revelations, arguing that he was essentially set up in a perjury trap. In that interview, Flynn did not admit wrongdoing and instead was accused of lying about his contacts with the then-Russian ambassador – to which he pleaded guilty.
Then on Wednesday, the DOJ released a mostly unredacted version of former acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s August 2017 “scope memo,” outlining the authority then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller had for his investigation. That document revealed for the first time that Mueller’s authority went significantly beyond what was previously known.
Rosenstein’s memo was known to have authorized Mueller to probe “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump,” and “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation,” and “any other matters within the scope of [obstruction of justice laws].”
But the new document made clear that Rosenstein authorized a deep-dive criminal probe into the Trump campaign that extended well beyond Russian interference efforts.
The memo revealed that Mueller was, among other things, looking into whether Flynn “committed a crime or crimes by engaging in conversations with Russian government officials during the period of the Trump transition.”

bttt
When will Robert Wray resign? It is untenable for him to remain. ALL the information to do this has been in HIS hands and he did NOTHING!
Flynn gets his reputation back when DjT hires him for DNS, or NSA....as before this whole fraud started.
I’d like to see him able to investigate Schitt. That asshole must pay.
Damage control.
Wonder what Schiff thinks about this TURNAROUND. I hope he is down in his bunker staring blankly at his 8×10 framed picture of Adolf...
Can he sue same time he works for POTUS?
Pelosi must be goung nuts. And Schumer.
OUTSTANDING CONGRATS GENERAL FLYNN AND SYDNEY POWELL!!
I hope now everyone involved in orchestrating this conspiracy is tried and does serious jail time, if not a worse sentence.
So let’s see Missy Berman Jackson put Roger Stone in jail now.
Good luck with that. Maybe her co-conspirators will cough up the tapes they have of their back channel talks with her.
No! Not good enough. A whole bunch of f***ing bastards need to go to prison for pulling this railroading stunt!
Anyone meltdowns on cable news yet?
I hope so.
Here is the submission to the court:

Also signals they are heading toward prosecution of those responsible for this.
It should be noted that if you get your news from alternative sources, much of the Flynn saga we’ve known about for years now. If you get your news from the mainstream sources, all this will be somewhat new and even still is being slightly distorted.
Flynn didn’t lie. They hoped he would lie, but he didn’t, so they lied. Same thing with Papadopoulos, they accused him of lying, but in fact he did not. So they lied. Documentation that they lied is slowly bubbling to the surface. The people involved need to face the sentences they had planned for their victims.
When you realize that Manafort was charged using files that had been doctored, you begin to see just how bad this whole thing has been.
Flynn also needs to sue his former attorneys. Seems they were in on this travesty.
The Deep State getting all this out while we’re still in the Wuhan Flu mindset 24/7, and in May. By Election Day this will all be forgotten unless criminal convictions are upcoming!
LOL. Too much sunlight.
Not justice. DOJ drops it, judge does too. You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride, writ large.
