The reporting that I saw said the judgement of "Guilty" had not been entered and the DOJ has to get the judge to sign off on them dropping the case. Then it goes away.


So does that mean that there was never actually a conviction? All I kept reading here from the anti-Trumpers was that the case was over. Done. He was convicted after taking a plea? Are you saying a judge never signed off on the plea deal???????????????

Bill Barr didn't want Donny to get his hands dirty by pardoning Flynn in an election year.

He is truly the most corrupt AG in history. Hopefully the next Dem administration will investigate him THOROUGHLY.

Did the same thing when it was clear Donny was leaning towards pardoning Roger Stone, had them change Stone's sentencing recommendations at the last second.

All I can tell you is...that is what I saw reported.

Early reporting is often incorrect or incomplete and this is a breaking story...

There was never a sentencing as I am sure you know. It has been delayed for years due to various antics..... Which appears to have paid off....

Roger has another week or so before he's supposed to start a 3 year sentence. Wonder what will happen?

It was dropped because there
was never a real crime. Flynn
was badgered and cornered
into saying he lied. He was
set up from the git go, he
was the 'insurance policy'
Struck and Page talked about.

This is hardly 'going away'. Flynn
can still sue, he lost all his money,
his reputation and his good name.
And heads will roll at the top
levels of the Obama regime.

You’ve been saying this for years. They’d better get a move on! They might be out of a job in a few months...

Here's what Rush said about Flynn
at the end of his show.


RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, it is a big deal. I cannot describe what a monumental, big deal it is for the Department of Justice to drop a case. It so rarely happens. They got a guilty plea and they still dropped it? You have no idea even now how big this is. It’s funny watching CNN on the Flynn story. They can’t believe it. Their reporter, “He pleaded guilty! He pleaded guilty, he said he did it! Why are they dropping the charges, he pleaded guilty? We must always remember that Flynn pleaded guilty, he did it!”

He pleaded guilty after Robert J Mueller
promised to bankrupt him, to bankrupt
his son, to take everything away from him,
including his home, and to not stop until
he had made sure that Flynn could never
recover from it. He pled guilty to stop the
carnage. He pled guilty to protect his son.
