What a difference three years makes.
During Thanksgiving 2017, retired three-star general Michael Flynn was somberly making plans to head to court and plead guilty to a charge of lying to the FBI during a late January 2017 interview, his reputation in tatters and his bank account drained.
A day before Thanksgiving this year, a jubilant Flynn took a phone call from President Trump to learn his conviction had been erased by a full pardon.
In between, a legal drama of epic proportions unfolded, one that exposed deep flaws with the FBI, the Justice Department and a news media industry that had been sold a story with many conflicting secrets.
The dramatic reversal of the Flynn case began with the determination of a new lawyer, Sidney Powell, who took over the former Trump national security advisor’s defense and relentlessly fought to unseal evidence of innocence the government had long tried to conceal.
Here are the 10 biggest (and belated) disclosures that Powell forced to light that turned the tide in a case that became a symbol of prosecutorial excesses during the Russia collusion case.
Case Closure Memo. Weeks before the FBI sought to interview Flynn, the lead FBI agent who had investigated the retired general for five months wrote a memo to close the investigation on Jan. 4, 2017, concluding he had found "no derogatory" evidence that Flynn committed a crime or posed a national security threat. FBI management then ordered the closure to be rescinded and pivoted toward trying lure Flynn into an interview.

How could this be allowed to happen in America?
Why does Wray still have a job?
I don’t know how, but I know why....
The courts failed. Our institutions failed. Justice failed.
Why?
Because they put politics ahead of their moral responsibility.
The FACT that Trump had to pardon Flynn without the exoneration of the court is shameful (and dangerous). If they can do this to a retired 3 star general and former member of the President’s administration they can squish anyone.
Because so many americans allowed such people to prosper... or fester as it may be more accurately called.
When Sidney Powell got involved in the case it was like taking over control of the Titanic after the captain had already steered it into the iceberg.
Simple: Corrupt democrats in the Justice Dept and FBI supported by corrupt democrat judges (Sullivan)
Yep, the barbarians control the high ground of our once governing institutions.
Should Joe Blow be immaculated, the reprisals will begin immediately. The rats know what to do with power, and they will come down on us without mercy. Say goodbye to what remains of conservative media/social media outlets. All opposition to Biden and soon, Herself, will be deemed hate speech and the purveyors will be punished.
1789 - 2020. We had a good run.
The FBI has become the bureaucratic equivalent of the KGB. Its goal is to preserve centralized, state-power and protect against all political threats to that.
It hasn’t yet reached the stage of armed raids on people’s homes in the middle of the night - unless you are Roger Stone, of course.

“How could this be allowed to happen in America?”
Because of pubic school teachers and college professors, first and foremost.
Then, because of unions, Hollywood, Democrats, lawyers, news media and now social media and rainbow churches.
As Casper Weinberger asked> “Now where do I go to reclaim my good name?”
Leftists don't know it and will carefully avoid learning it. To them, everything in the article is a conspiracy theory.
I’ve just read KT McFarland’s account of how the FBI tried to get HER in a perjury trap. This is an agency that needs to be shut down. NOW.
Also Richard Jewel. Remember how hard they wanted to make him confess that he planted the bomb when another guy did it?
