Comey, McCabe slams Justice for dropping Flynn case: 'Pure politics designed to please' Trump
The Hill ^ | 05 07 2020 | Tal Axelrod

Former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe slammed the Justice Department’s decision to drop its case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn on charges he lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russians.

“The DOJ has lost its way. But, career people: please stay because America needs you. The country is hungry for honest, competent leadership,” Comey tweeted.

McCabe said in a statement Flynn had “high level interactions with Russian officials” who he “actively tried to influence.” He also said Flynn had lied about the substance of his talks with Russian officials.

“His lies added to our concerns about his relationship with the Russian government,” said McCabe. “Today’s move by the Justice Department has nothing to do with the facts or the law — it is pure politics designed to please the president.”

In a court filing on Thursday, Justice said it was moving to drop its case against Flynn and was no longer sure it could make its case.

McCabe and Comey were both ousted from their positions at the FBI by Trump and have had long public feuds with the president.

Of course. Its all politics. It couldn’t be the falsified 302’s, or the obvious conspiracy to torpedo everything Trump. I just hope I live to see these weasel’s heads on the chopping block.

Both these criminals should have their day in court then spend the next 25 years in prison for their crimes against an honest civil servant (a rarity) and against the people of America for making us all complicit in their crimes.

The Dirty Cops aren’t happy that Flynn escaped their trap. Likewise, they have been caught in their own snare(s).

".......Obviously the already know that no one is going to come after them...."

...... Sadly I fear you are correct ..... The whole investigation will be painted with the standard .... "Sloppy Handling of the Investigation" brush .... And then the DOJ will take steps to change the process to make sure it doesn't happen again .... Well .... Until it does ..... With the new ..... "Presidents Handling of the COVID-19 Crisis Investigation" .....

So these guys not only wanted to railroad Flynn, they still wanted the train to run him over?

You guys are slimy skunks and I hope you all rot in hell.

But, their attempt to 'find a crime' was not political? How stupid do they think everyone is?

Hopefully, Flynn will be able to sue some of these bastards for ruining his life and turning him into a pauper. SUE THEIR ASSES OFF !!
