AMERICAN TRAITOR!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Mark_Sheppard I am just glad we have a justice system that can call into question why these charges would be dropped and question the motives of those behind it.

What a waste of time & money. The judge in the case has no 'legal standing', he is a judge. The full appeals court will reject his case.

As unusual as the government dropping a case when the defendant pleaded guilty?

Did anyone from team Biden call up the expelled Chinese Officials/ Spies? Can u even imagine? Mike Flynn could!

rweingarten I smell a tRump pardon!

how ridiculous as that.... and this guy was a general?

Flynn is a traitor. He worked as a foreign agent for personal benefit.

SHE GOT IT RIGHT!

Blatant abuse of power. Trump should go ahead and just pardon Gen. Flynn

Lock him up

The Justice Department is corrupt now.

Can't they put him in jail until the hearings? Seems like he shouldn't have any rights after lying.

It's the beginning of the END of the DOJ

It’s really unusual, especially when FBI illegally investigates matter to which the defendent admits guilt...

An abuse of power by an attorney general obviously acting favorably toward a friend of the president ? Tune in on August 11th !

People like Flynn are immune from the law because they are serving a higher purpose.

So if the case is dropped is the next step to charge Flynn with perjury for having plead guilty?
