I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!
A.G. Barr is as corrupt as his boss.
Even President Trump has said his former national security adviser lied to the F.B.I.
"Mr. Barr is now saying he cannot prove charges to which Mr. Flynn has twice pleaded guilty in court — and for which there is ample evidence. As for legitimacy and materiality, the F.B.I. was in the middle of a monthslong counterintelligence investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Mr. Flynn was a top aide to that campaign, and he lied about speaking with the Russian ambassador in a way that undermined the Obama administration, which was still in charge at the time."

"Michael Bromwich, a former Justice Department inspector general, called Thursday “A black day in D.O.J. history.” He’s right. Our institutions have withstood corruption and malfeasance at the highest level, until now. With William Barr at the right hand of Donald Trump, that is no longer assured."
Michael Flynn admitted he lied TWICE! If he were innocent, he wouldn't have admitted to lying to the FBI. Even Trump told the American people he had to let Flynn go BECAUSE HE LIED!
If your blood isn’t boiling, it should be. The rule of law is what keeps democratic societies together. The last four years have proved that in democracies, we are completely reliant on men and women of honor and integrity to hold the system together.
One man alone, even a president, can’t subjugate the system. He needs other compromised men and women too. He needs them to throw their own ethics and integrity out the window, if they had any. He needs pessimists with a nihilistic view of our culture and humanity. He needs McConnell and Barr.
What’s to be done? Hope for the best — and vote — in the short term (voting for individuals with a strong sense of empathy is a good rule of thumb), and teach your family, your kids, and the kids of others about honor and integrity in the long term.
The guilty plea was a plea deal--the least of the charges against him. The other charges can be brought forward by DOJ once the American citizens clean out the pigsty that Barr has made of the DOJ.
Vote the criminals out in November!

Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts.
His lies do not now become truths.
This dismissal does not exonerate him.
But it does incriminate Bill Barr.
In the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history.
