Justice Department moves to drop case against Michael Flynn, citing FBI misconduct
"In a motion filed in U.S. district court in Washington on Thursday, federal prosecutors asked a judge to toss out with prejudice the single count of making false statements to the FBI, saying that "continued prosecution of this case would not serve the interests of justice.
The Justice Department said the government "concluded that the interview of Mr. Flynn was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation" and that "it is not persuaded that the January 24, 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis."

"Continued prosecution of this case would not serve the interests of justice" hey, that old chestnut.
Wasn't it the American intelligence community that say/know that there was Russian involvement in getting Trump elected ?
Obviously Russia will deny it and Trump will say it's not the case, the whole thing makes sense for Russia to have such a weak President that would not be a fraction of the threat Hilary would have been to their interests, it makes sense for Trump to be in the top job that he craved and to deny he had any help from an arch rival foreign power and now that the Russians have achieved their aim and won that particular battle it makes sense for the powers that be in America (even ones on both sides) to sweep it under the carpet and deny it ever happened to try and save face for the country.
As the saying go's if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.
You will have to speak to lardy & cyril about that, as they have been saying it for the past 3 years, and I assume they still believe it as they haven't said anything to the contrary. In fact, they have been quiet about a lot of things lately, after many years of posting crap on a daily basis
I honestly don't know nor do you .
They are a weak country who would do a deal with the devil , whoever it is . A number of countries have come out and stated that Russia has interfered with its countries politics , what the Russians need to accept is they better be careful what they wish for .
"All countries conduct campaigns of influence", you say - well there we go then.
With the election lost by the candidate that won the popular vote and all the disruption going on in American politics around a weak President, Putin I would think will be giving some of his intelligence community medals for a job well done as make no mistake Putin has won a great battle on American soil and it seems is pulling some strings in the White House.
As Trump is threatening to withdraw from NATO, Trump is withdrawing from Syria with Putin moving in, and America's attention is moving away from Russia and towards China.
Trump repeatedly praises Putin, Putin has Trump on the end of a piece of string, it would have been very different if Hillary had won she would not be pushed around by Putin they apparently have previously crossed swords in the past, it seems like Putin has managed to side line Hillary via probable interference in the election possibly resulting in Hillary losing and he now has somebody he seemingly can manipulate at will in charge in the White House.
That Trump is a puppet you mean, I thought that everyone that took an interest knew that.
I'd have a little read here first.

If you can find any evidence of Russia collusion, then by all means carry on shooting your mouth off, otherwise it's best to follow the example of lardy & cyril and go and hide behind a rock
I'm not talking collusion, you are, collusion is often a two way deal, this is an outright Russian win, all American actors in this saga have lost and the Russians won.
Rand Paul calls for investigations into handling of Michael Flynn case
Joe Biden received unredacted intelligence reports that eventually led to the prosecution of the national security adviser Michael Flynn, it emerged last night, boosting President Trump’s hopes of thrusting the case to the centre of the election campaign.
Richard Grenell, the president’s acting intelligence chief, declassified a list of government figures who asked to be told the name of a US citizen whose communications with the Russian ambassador were picked up by US intelligence monitoring the embassy in 2016.
Under US law, the names of Americans picked up incidentally during espionage on foreign agents are kept secret, or masked, unless a senior official requests an unredacted version.
Between Mr Trump’s election in November 2016 and his inauguration the following January some of the most senior figures in the Obama administration requested the unmasking of the reports that contained details of Mr Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador.
They included Mr Biden, then vice-president, Samantha Power, the ambassador to the UN, James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, and John Brennan, the director of the CIA. They would not have known Mr Flynn’s identity until receiving the unmasked intercepts.
So Flynn was stitched up by Mueller and the FBI, just like I said he was.
And there was cyril worried that I "could pollute others thinking", so he took it upon himself to spam this message board with Russia collusion BS for 3 whole years!
