"The move is a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the past three years have maintained that Flynn lied to the FBI in a January 2017 interview about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.

Flynn himself admitted as much, pleading guilty before asking to withdraw the plea, and became a key cooperator for Mueller the special counel investigated ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.

In court documents being filed Thursday, the Justice Department said it is dropping the case “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.” The documents were obtained by The Associated Press."

Also (not in the AP article) Brandon Van Grack, one of the prosecutors in the Flynn case, has not only removed himself from the Flynn case (prior to the announcement), but is apparently removing himself as government counsel in other cases as well.

Wonder who’s being threatened for which mistress that got how many abortions or maybe they are secretly gay

Read the article. It’s pretty messed up. All of their internal documents and notes are being released and they’re getting embarrassed

All I see is Barr working as Trumps puppet and people caving to pressure

This actually has zero to do with Barr.

All this stuff is being declassified and it’s coming out in court documents.

The other factor in this is acting DNI basically telling Adam Schiff he's going going to release transcripts of the Russia probe interviews if Adam Schiff doesn't.

Well, Pence did fire Flynn, most likely based on what came out in the FBI interviews. Which two questions:

1. How does Flynn come back for the last three years?

2. This now potentially taints any other cases that these prosecutors have worked on.

In the case of the one counsel I mentioned in the OP, at the very least his law license could be in jeopardy.
