As you have all heard by now the Federal Government has announced that they are withdrawing the criminal charges against Ret. General Michael Flynn. The Justice Department said the FBI’s interview of Flynn was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn.” Thursday was a bad day for liberals Flynn charges have been dropped, Shelly Luther was released from jail, and Adam Schiff is in panic mode.
So let’s just get to the good stuff, this was MSNBC’s initial reaction, notice how Katy Tur doesn’t even know what to say, she just keeps saying, “he plead guilty, remember he plead guilty.”

They are still holding out hope the judge does the “right” thing. Pete Williams claims the judge could deny the motion.

But there was so much more from the left…Ladies and Gentleman Robert Reich…
Friends, I cannot overstate how dangerous this is. Under William Barr’s stewardship, the Justice Department has become nothing more than a political tool for Trump to wield against his enemies and withdraw against his friends.
This is how dictatorships are built. https://t.co/2zVDEBtPLH

Barr’s Justice Department – make that Trump’s Justice Department – has dropped charges against Michael Flynn.
I’m sure Robert Mueller is feeling really good about walking away from rendering a verdict, and looking where it got us.

Here’s Elie Honig CNN legal analyst…
The fix is in.
This is a complete injustice — and, sadly, eminently predictable.
Nothing changes the fact that Michael Flynn lied to the FBI about Russia. Barr is doing the President’s dirty work so the President doesn’t even have to issue a pardon. https://t.co/sYmmvjCglc

Fake news Rep. Ted Lieu…
The @TheJusticeDept dropping charges against Michael Flynn is outrageous. Flynn:
-lied to federal law enforcement
-violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act
-plead guiltyBut because he is a friend of @realDonaldTrump, he gets special treatment. There is a cancer within DOJ. https://t.co/Jro1giDZhD

Coincidently, mother, salon owner, Shelly Luther was released from jail just after the Flynn announcement hit the news wire.
Maybe, just maybe, Mother Justice is escaping the shackles put on her by the deep-state goons, police-state thugs, & their disgusting media colluders. #ShelleyLuther #MikeFlynn https://t.co/ZkZao1XbrX

President Trump’s response…
President Trump reacts to the Flynn charges being dropped:
“He was an innocent man. He is a great gentleman. He was targeted by the Obama Administration… What they’ve done is a disgrace and I hope a big price is gonna be paid.” pic.twitter.com/DlU6qk4eoM
