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.”

Freaking awesome!!
Credit to Sidney Powell and Dan Bongino!
Now strip Comey’s $12 MM book advance and give it to Flynn.
ANd we only get to hear about this now, why?
IT was obvious for the past 2-3 years and scratching a bit the surface would have revealed it.
This intel search should have been done before any proceeding of investigation of Trump, period.
Awesome!! Finally, some justice.
So when do they arrest Adam Schiff?
Will the Feds ‘make Flynn whole again’?? They should take the money out of the retirement funds of every criminal who set him up.....right up to Brennan and Comey!
WINNING!!!
and ordering more popcorn...
As the saying goes, where does Flynn go to get his reputation (and his house and his savings) back?
I want to see all the commie jerks who put this man through HELL for THREE LONG YEARS to get what is coming to them

Where does Trump get his back?
There are still millions out there who are convinced he worked with Putin to defeat Hillary.
... but, but the lamestream media said that Maria Bartiromo did not have a bombshell.
Dropping the case is only the first step.
Tomorrow announce the indictment of all perjurers, and those others who violated law in any way. Do it DOJ. And do it pronto!!!
Thank God!
There needs to be a one hour sit down interview where Flynn tells everything. I want to hear from him. He has been under a gag order for much too long. Tell us what really happened.
I don’t think he was ever told what the exact lie was. Someone explain to me how someone could lie when they don’t know what the supposed lie was?
Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo is saying sources told her Rhode Island native General Michael Flynn will be “completely exonerated” this week — and President Donald Trump shared the news.
I would wager we start to hear a lot more about it now and the stage is set for some actual indictments to be issued as the web further unravels.
OF COURSE! He should sue them to the point of castration!
We can only hope.
