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.”

“Years and years, you say?”
Yes, the vast majority of predictions Q has made have failed for years and years. Try and keep up.
“FLYNN is safe.”
Oh, I’m sure he felt real “safe” being wrongfully prosecuted and bankrupted for years, his name dragged through the mud and career prospects reduced to zero. Real “protected”, sure.
“#WhyYouSoMadBro”
Once again, I’m not mad, I find the constant parade of failures by Q and his followers quite hilarious.
> “Credit to Sidney Powell and Dan Bongino!”
And Attorney General William Barr.
Excellent evaluation, dead on correct.
Thanks
Sure you are.
No.
Must have bagpipe jokes.
Barr is deep state, blah blah blah.
Am I on the right website?
Where's all the Barr hate?
