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.”

She should join Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, ASAP.
Amen!
You are most welcome, SC. I’m also thanking God! I’ll pass along your good word!
I was wrong to say Robert Wray. It was CHRISTOPHER Wray.
We are brothers in Christ, not sisters! May God bless you!!!!
Fancy Nancy, NUTS? She’s gone beyond nuts and now seen as ‘butter’, knocky knees, shaky legs, unable to walk and talk simultaneously. Once a nut case, now spread on toast.
And also you!!! Make that brother and sister, and it’s all good!
Keep telling yourself that - anything to find fault with the President and AG Barr....
I’m not a lawyer, but have lived the Flynn experience (civil not criminal) both with DOJ and in the Appellate Court of NY. When one sees the process up close, it is easy relate to every moment of agony Flynn suffered.
I’ve not had a chance to research it really, but I seem to recall a thread that showed some e-mails and possibly tests between Flynn’s lawyers and the prosecutors, where they are discussing an exculpatory piece of evidence that was (seemingly) never provided to Flynn, or the court.
Thank you for quoting these extremely important Federal Laws.
When DC and the Media (the The_Party) assault USConstitution, they are felons, breaking Title 18 with immunity, every single day. Every day, they lie, kill and destroy the rights of real USAians.
Fine!

“Flynn didn’t have a trial.”
Don’t let an important fact get in the way of a false god worshiping a letter in the alphabet.
As soon as one arrest is made, they will be jumping up and down and crediting their imaginary god.
“Many people think many things that are wrong.”
Sadly, some are sucked into a Qult and don’t think Sidney Powell taking on the Flynn case, AG Barr or his appointment of US Attorney Jeff Jensen to review the case has anything to do with this great outcome.
They actually believe grifters who say this is due to “Trusty the Plan.”
That General Flynn went through hell for years, lost his home and slammed with $6 million plus in legal fees is all part of this so-called and quite stupid on its face “Plan.”
As if. Also, according to their imaginary god, “Trust Wray.”
LMAO
Aren’t the Q followers supposed to be social distancing on their own thread?
Because the release of this "blockbuster-smoking-gun-superduper-breaking-news-alert" will not affect the outcome.
Or to put it another way, "Whachoo gonna do 'bout it, crackuh?"
“that most others see very differently & are congruently in concert about”
If you think “most” people are gullible enough to have fallen for that 2-bit 4chan conman, you are wildly mistaken.
Yep, well, I guess it’s only reasonable to believe it was some troll posting political horoscopes on anonymous forums that led to Flynn’s vindication, not the actual, real hard work of his lawyers or the folks at Judicial Watch.
That’s totally reasonable, not emotional thinking or succumbing to confirmation bias at all.
