In an unprecedented act, the D.C. Court of Appeals denied General Michael Flynn’s emergency petition for writ of mandamus, keeping the prosecution alive despite all charges dropped and an earlier order by an appeals court panel to dismiss the case. The prosecution of General Flynn is an open display of Washington corruption, but one that cannot be fully understood without the story in its entirety.
Against the strong objections of the Obama administration, General Flynn was appointed to National Security Advisor by President Trump at the beginning of his presidency, prompting attacks on his reputation by the intelligence community through selective leaks to various media outlets. On February 9th, 2017, the Washington Post reported that Flynn had discussed sanctions against Russia on the phone with the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, implying that a backdoor deal was being struck against America’s best interests. The next day, the Post reported that Flynn may have lied to Vice President Mike Pence about his call with Kislyak. Pence had already made high-profile TV appearances stating that the campaign team had no improper contact with the Russians. The Trump team had been putting out fires relating to accusations of collusion with Russia and the possibility that Flynn had misled Pence concerning his call with the Russian ambassador was gasoline on the flames.

A more accurate title would be “The Continued Persecution of Michael Flynn.”
The “frame job” is what started it. I think in the interest of justice that Durham/Barr should appear before the court and go ahead and publicly state what we already know - there was a conspiracy among bad actors within the FBI and Special Counsel Office to frame Flynn who DID NOT violate the law.
Justice demands this - just put it out there regardless of the status of any “ongoing investigation.” The rights of an innocent man are far more important.
I can see Flynn playing a valuable role in a second Trump term, but the prosecution will probably have to be over. And it would be vital for the Republicans to maintain control of the Senate.
And to be clear, there is no gag order on Flynn.
One of the reasons Flynn was removed by Trump was Flynn’s lying, which he doesn’t dispute.
